Make Nostr-mediated overlay discovery unconditional, mirroring the philosophy of PR #79's collapse of the tui/ble/gateway features in favor of platform cfg gates. nostr / nostr-sdk are pure Rust over WebSockets/TCP, so they build cleanly on every FIPS-supported platform — there is no need for the parallel feature gate. The flag was already in `default = [...]`, so no behavior change for anyone using `cargo build` without `--no-default-features`. Operators who explicitly disabled the feature will now find Nostr code present in the binary; the runtime check `node.discovery.nostr.enabled` still controls whether the runtime starts. Cargo.toml: - Remove the `[features]` table entirely. - Drop `optional = true` from `nostr` and `nostr-sdk`. Source: 27 cfg sites collapsed across 5 files — `src/discovery.rs`, `src/discovery/nostr/mod.rs`, `src/node/handlers/rx_loop.rs`, `src/node/lifecycle.rs`, `src/node/mod.rs`. Two `#[cfg(not(feature = "nostr-discovery"))]` fallback blocks (the udp:nat-without-runtime debug-log path and the "feature not compiled in" warning at startup) were removed as dead code; the always-on path already handles the missing-runtime case via `nostr_discovery: Option<NostrDiscovery>`. Packaging and tooling: - `packaging/openwrt-ipk/Makefile`: drop a stale `--features gateway` flag (the `gateway` feature was already removed in PR #79; this was a leftover that the build path tolerated only because cargo ignored unknown feature names). - `testing/scripts/build.sh`: drop `DEFAULT_CARGO_BUILD_ARGS=(--features nostr-discovery)`; defaults are empty. - `packaging/common/fips.yaml`: drop the "requires the nostr-discovery feature" comment from the discovery section. Bundled cleanup: - Apply `cargo clippy --fix` against three pre-existing warnings in `src/discovery/nostr/runtime.rs` and `src/discovery/nostr/stun.rs` (collapsed `if let Some` chain; two redundant `as i32` casts). These were always present but masked when the feature gate was off; they surface now that the code is unconditionally compiled. - `cargo fmt` settled two minor formatting drift sites in `src/bin/fips-gateway.rs` and `src/config/mod.rs`. Tests: 1083 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored. clippy clean. fmt clean.
FIPS Packaging
This directory contains packaging for all supported target platforms.
All build outputs go to deploy/ at the project root.
Quick Start
make deb # Debian/Ubuntu .deb
make tarball # systemd install tarball
make ipk # OpenWrt .ipk
make aur # Arch Linux AUR package (fips-git, local build + namcap)
make pkg # macOS .pkg installer
make zip # Windows .zip package
make all # deb + tarball (default)
Directory Structure
packaging/
aur/ Arch Linux AUR packaging (PKGBUILD, supporting files)
common/ Shared assets (default config, hosts file)
debian/ Debian/Ubuntu .deb packaging via cargo-deb
macos/ macOS .pkg installer via pkgbuild
systemd/ Generic Linux systemd tarball packaging
openwrt/ OpenWrt .ipk packaging via cargo-zigbuild
windows/ Windows .zip package with service scripts
Formats
Debian/Ubuntu (.deb)
Built with cargo-deb. Installs
fips, fipsctl, and fipstop to /usr/bin/, places config at
/etc/fips/fips.yaml (preserved on upgrade), and enables the systemd
service.
# Build
make deb
# Install
sudo dpkg -i deploy/fips_<version>_<arch>.deb
# Remove (preserves config and keys)
sudo dpkg -r fips
# Purge (removes config and identity keys)
sudo dpkg -P fips
systemd Tarball
A self-contained tarball with binaries and an install.sh script for
any systemd-based Linux distribution.
# Build
make tarball
# Install (on target host)
tar -xzf deploy/fips-<version>-linux-<arch>.tar.gz
sudo ./fips-<version>-linux-<arch>/install.sh
See systemd/README.install.md for full installation and configuration instructions.
OpenWrt (.ipk)
Cross-compiled with cargo-zigbuild and assembled as a standard .ipk
archive. Supports aarch64, mipsel, mips, arm, and x86_64 targets.
# Build (default: aarch64)
make ipk
# Build for a specific architecture
bash packaging/openwrt/build-ipk.sh --arch mipsel
See openwrt/README.md for router-specific installation instructions.
macOS (.pkg)
Built with pkgbuild (included with Xcode command-line tools). Installs
binaries to /usr/local/bin/, config to /usr/local/etc/fips/, sets up
the /etc/resolver/fips DNS resolver for .fips domains, and loads a
launchd daemon. The TUN device is named utun<N> (kernel-assigned)
rather than fips0.
# Build
make pkg
# Install
sudo installer -pkg deploy/fips-<version>-macos-<arch>.pkg -target /
# Remove
sudo packaging/macos/uninstall.sh
Windows (.zip)
A ZIP archive containing binaries, default config, and PowerShell service helper scripts. Requires the wintun driver for TUN support.
# Build
make zip
# Or directly
powershell -File packaging/windows/build-zip.ps1
# Extract and install as service (requires Administrator)
Expand-Archive deploy\fips-<version>-windows-x86_64.zip -DestinationPath fips
cd fips
powershell -File install-service.ps1
# Uninstall (preserves config)
powershell -File uninstall-service.ps1
# Uninstall and remove config
powershell -File uninstall-service.ps1 -RemoveAll
Arch Linux (AUR)
Two AUR packages are maintained: fips (release, builds from tagged
tarball) and fips-git (development, builds from latest git master).
# Build and validate locally (git variant)
make aur
# Install from AUR
yay -S fips-git # development build from master
yay -S fips # release build from latest tag
See aur/README.md for AUR publication instructions and maintainer guide.
Shared Assets
common/ contains assets used across packaging formats:
fips.yaml— default configuration (ephemeral identity, UDP/TCP/TUN/DNS)hosts— static hostname-to-npub mappings for.fipsDNS resolution
