This commit introduces comprehensive RPM package support alongside existing DEB packages,
migrates to nfpm for package building, and adds automated Cloudsmith publishing.
Package Building Changes:
- Migrated from dpkg-deb to nfpm for both DEB and RPM package creation
- Added makeInstallerRpm() function in installer.ts using shared nfpm configuration
- Created RPM-specific post-install and post-remove scripts in package/scripts/linux/rpm/
- Added js-yaml import for generating nfpm configuration files
- Implemented architecture mapping (DEB: amd64/arm64, RPM: x86_64/aarch64)
GitHub Actions Workflow Improvements:
- Consolidated 4 separate Linux installer jobs into single matrix job (make-installer-linux)
- Matrix: arch=[x86_64, aarch64] × format=[deb, rpm]
- Reduced workflow from ~160 to ~60 lines for Linux installers
- Added nfpm installation step (downloads binary from GitHub releases, version 2.43.1)
- Updated all artifact references to use new naming: Linux-{format}-{arch}-Installer
Cloudsmith Publishing:
- Added cloudsmith-push job for automated package repository publishing
- Publishes to both "open" and "pro" Posit repositories
- Uses matrix strategy: 2 archs × 2 formats × 2 repos = 8 push operations
- Configured with any-distro/any-version for broad compatibility
Build System Updates:
- Added make-installer-rpm command to bld.ts
- Updated all job dependencies (publish-release, cleanup-when-failure, docker-push)
- Updated checksum generation and release file paths for new artifact names
This enables users to install Quarto via standard package managers (apt, yum, dnf, zypper)
from Posit's Cloudsmith repositories after configuring the appropriate repository source.

it looks like the installers themselves have the correct names, it's just the intermediate folders that have changed names, which I don't think matters. |
This is something to check and think about. As this means Artifact names have changed 
Previous installer 
This is updated in th workflow to create the release... so the assets in release will be ok in terms of name. So only users that do have scripts to download artifact could be affected. So any using But I do think this is an ok breaking change as we do put the artifact in release and anyone is supposed to get them there. So we could add a note in the changelog for 1.9, probably. Also, we may need to do the work for 1.8 as a backport if you want to have some 1.8 patch stable release in Cloudsmith without waiting for the next 1.9. But I can do that after this PR is merged. So I believe this is ok. I'll take a bit more time to review before merging, in case I am thinking of anything. |
