lbdev

lbdev is the lockbook team’s place to store commonly run operations. Think of it like a scripts folder, but we’d prefer to write these things in Rust, our team’s primary language. You can use lbdev to do some of the following:

• run our server
• build workspace as a C library to include in native apps
• run lockbook on annoying platforms
• release operations

install: cargo install --path utils/lbdev update: lbdev update completions for fish: lbdev fish-completions.

Release Ops

• We release often, every release generally we release everything, and everything has the same version.
• Our version encodes the date of the batch of changes in yy.mm.dd format.
• We update this often enough so our server can accurately estimate how much usage a particular batch of code is receving.
• During the development cycle (like on days of release) we may have to increment this more than once in a day, and on these dates we’ll just increment the patch field (to effectively the following day’s date). Incrementing this often enough also allows us to more clearly distinguish between the code engineers are running on master vs. the code that’s released to consumers.
