+# Build cgit for a release with Linux hardening flags.
+#
+# These are ELF and GCC/Clang specific, so this targets a Linux deploy
+# rather than local macOS development, where `make NO_LUA=1` is enough.
+# The flags add a stack protector, fortified libc calls, a position
+# independent executable, and full RELRO. Lua is pinned off here; drop
+# NO_LUA=1 and install the Lua dev package if you use lua filters.
+#
+# Usage: ./tools/release-build.sh   (run from the repository root)
