BuffyBox is a suite of graphical applications for the terminal.

## Components

* [buffyboard] – Touch-enabled on-screen keyboard for virtual terminals

* [unl0kr] – Disk unlocking UI for the initramfs

## Making a release

To make it easier for distributions to package BuffyBox, we include source tarballs including the LVGL submodule in GitLab releases. See [unl0kr#42] for more background on this.

Producing and uploading a source tarball requires [git-archive-all] to be installed as well as an access token for the GitLab API. To tag a release and upload a source tarball, run

```
./release.sh $VERSION $TOKEN
```

Once the upload completes, create a new release on GitLab and attach the URL of the uploaded source tarball.
