Application Packaging

[keinsell]

Prepare production-ready packaging for the Neuronek application across multiple platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows, and platform-agnostic via OCI container images).

1. build processes for each package type (dmg, pkg, rpm, deb, appimage, flatpak, msi, exe, sh, ps, and oci).
2. Automating build processes and implementing a versioning scheme.
3. Signing packages with platform-specific methods (e.g., code-signing for dmg and pkg).
4. Developing a testing matrix to verify correct installation and functionality on representative machines for each platform.
5. Creating clear installation instructions and documenting prerequisites for each package type.
6. Setting up distribution channels (e.g., package repositories, app stores, container registries).
7. Optimizing the OCI container image for size and performance.
8. Establishing a QA process to review each package before release.
9. Implementing checksums and other verification methods to ensure package integrity.
10. Setting up user feedback mechanisms and monitoring for issues.
11. Planning for updates and patches, tracking dependencies, and maintaining package consistency.
