Automated Build Script

A build script (build.sh) is provided to automate the package building process. This script will:

1. Build the Go binary
2. Detect the current platform
3. Build the appropriate package(s) for that platform
4. Place all built packages in the build/packages directory

Usage

# Make the script executable
chmod +x packaging/build.sh

# Run the build script
./packaging/build.sh

Requirements

The script will check for the following requirements based on the platform:

• Debian/Ubuntu:

  • dpkg-buildpackage
  • golang-go

• RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:

  • rpmbuild
  • golang

• Arch Linux:

  • makepkg
  • go

• Windows (Chocolatey):

  • choco
  • go
