Makefilet

Reusable Makefile components for everyday use.

makefilet provides a set of Make targets for common development tasks. It simplifies your life and the life of your co-developers by letting you focus on your language and your project instead of clumsily writing Makefile snippets.

Most features are working out of the box. Some features require a configuration file (e.g. for tox) or a variable in your Makefile.

In a perfect world, the Makefile of your project is reduced to just a single line that is responsible for including makefilet. The latter is providing all the magic for you. Discover it via make help.

See the reference for a full list of all available targets and variables.

Features

Currently supported tasks include:

• python style checks (flake8)
• python tests (tox)
• python reports (coverage)
• python distribution (pypi)
• deb packaging (dh_make, dpkg-buildpackage, dput, lintian)
• deb packaging of pypi dependencies (pypi2deb)
• shell style checks (shellcheck)
• release preparations (bumpversion)

Integrate makefilet into your project

Somehow you need to make makefilet available for yourself and your co-developers within your project repository.

Probably the following lines are everything you need:

wget https://notabug.org/sumpfralle/makefilet/raw/main/makefilet-download-ondemand.mk
[ -s Makefile ] || echo >>Makefile
sed -i 1i'include makefilet-download-ondemand.mk' Makefile

See the integration instructions for more details and a few alternative approaches.
