Add .deb package generation for Linux releases#18
Merged
Conversation
Adds debArch to Linux matrix entries and a dpkg-deb build step that creates .deb packages for each Linux architecture on release. Packages install the binary to /usr/local/bin/. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- Install to /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin (Debian FHS policy) - Add --clobber to gh release upload for idempotent re-runs - Use env.APP_NAME where defined for consistency - Add missing debArch to matrix entries (http_trace) Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
Adds
.debpackage generation to the release workflow for all Linux architectures. As a template repo, this demonstrates how to produce Debian packages from a Rust CI pipeline.Changes

On a
releaseevent, each Linux matrix job creates a.debpackage usingdpkg-deb --build. The package contains the binary at/usr/bin/hello_worldand aDEBIAN/controlfile with package name, version (from the release tag), and architecture. The.debis uploaded to the GitHub Release alongside existing raw binaries.Architectures
