vscode-builder

Docker container and associated scripts to build a vscode-oss DEB and RPM from source. It took me a bit of debugging to get this built, so I figure it's worth putting up as a starting point for anyone else struggling with the builds.

Prerequisites

• Linux (Tested on Ubuntu 16.10, but should work on any version of Linux that supports Docker)
• Docker (installed)

Directions

git clone 
cd vscode-builder
./build.sh

When script finishes, a .deb installer will appear in ./out/. The latest tag is always used to build the package.

Notes

• Uncomment "Build RPM" section in run.sh to build a .rpm
• Uncomment the last line to keep container alive after build finishes
• The resulting installer has support for the extension gallery (ability to install extensions directly from the vscode UI). Comment the Add extension gallery support section to disable.
• Currently, the resulting .deb and .rpm files will be owned by root
