📋 Create Professional Packaging with Checksums and Documentation

Overview

Develop professional packaging system with compressed archives, security checksums, installation scripts, and comprehensive documentation for easy distribution and installation.

Tasks

1. Archive Creation

• Generate platform-specific archives (.tar.gz, .zip)
• Include documentation and installation scripts
• Create universal macOS binaries
• Optimize archive sizes

2. Security and Verification

• Generate SHA256 checksums for all assets
• Create combined checksum file (SHA256SUMS)
• Add GPG signing support (future)
• Verification scripts for users

3. Installation Scripts

• Unix installation script (install.sh)
• Windows PowerShell installer (install.ps1)
• Homebrew formula preparation
• Package manager metadata

4. Documentation Package

• Installation guides per platform
• Usage examples and tutorials
• Changelog generation
• License and attribution files

Acceptance Criteria

• Professional archive structure with consistent naming
• SHA256 checksums for all binaries and archives
• Installation scripts work on clean systems
• Documentation is comprehensive and user-friendly
• Universal macOS binaries support both Intel and Apple Silicon

Packaging Workflow

- name: Create platform archives
  run: |
    VERSION=${{ needs.version.outputs.version_number }}
    
    for platform in linux-x86_64 linux-x86_64-musl linux-arm64 macos-x86_64 macos-arm64 windows-x86_64; do
      mkdir -p "pkg/vanityssh-rust-v${VERSION}-${platform}"
      
      # Copy binary
      if [[ $platform == windows-* ]]; then
        cp "binaries/vanityssh-rust-${platform}.exe" "pkg/vanityssh-rust-v${VERSION}-${platform}/bin/"
      else
        cp "binaries/vanityssh-rust-${platform}" "pkg/vanityssh-rust-v${VERSION}-${platform}/bin/"
      fi
      
      # Copy documentation
      cp -r docs/* "pkg/vanityssh-rust-v${VERSION}-${platform}/docs/"
      cp -r install/* "pkg/vanityssh-rust-v${VERSION}-${platform}/install/"
      
      # Create archive
      if [[ $platform == windows-* ]]; then
        cd pkg && zip -r "vanityssh-rust-v${VERSION}-${platform}.zip" "vanityssh-rust-v${VERSION}-${platform}/" && cd ..
      else
        tar -czf "pkg/vanityssh-rust-v${VERSION}-${platform}.tar.gz" -C pkg "vanityssh-rust-v${VERSION}-${platform}/"
      fi
    done

Universal macOS Binary

- name: Create macOS universal binary
  if: matrix.os == 'macos-latest'
  run: |
    mkdir -p universal/bin
    lipo -create \
      target/x86_64-apple-darwin/release/vanityssh-rust \
      target/aarch64-apple-darwin/release/vanityssh-rust \
      -output universal/bin/vanityssh-rust
    
    # Verify universal binary
    lipo -info universal/bin/vanityssh-rust
    file universal/bin/vanityssh-rust

Checksum Generation

- name: Generate checksums
  run: |
    cd pkg
    
    # Individual checksums
    for file in vanityssh-rust-v*; do
      if [ -f "$file" ]; then
        shasum -a 256 "$file" > "${file}.sha256"
      fi
    done
    
    # Combined checksum file
    shasum -a 256 vanityssh-rust-v* > SHA256SUMS
    
    # Verify checksums
    shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS

# VanitySSH v{VERSION}

Generate SSH keys with custom patterns in their public key representation.

## Quick Start

### Installation
- **Unix/Linux/macOS:** `./install/install.sh`
- **Windows:** `./install/install.ps1`

### Usage
```bash
# Find a key starting with 'abc'
vanityssh-rust '^abc'

# Case-sensitive pattern with comment
vanityssh-rust 'MyPattern' --case-sensitive --comment "mykey@host"

Platform Support

• Linux x86_64 (GNU and MUSL)
• Linux ARM64
• macOS x86_64 (Intel)
• macOS ARM64 (Apple Silicon)
• Windows x86_64

Verification

Verify download integrity:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS

### Platform-Specific Notes
- **Linux MUSL:** Static binary, no dependencies required
- **macOS Universal:** Works on both Intel and Apple Silicon
- **Windows:** No Visual C++ Redistributables required

## Homebrew Formula Preparation
```ruby
class VanitysshRust < Formula
  desc "Generate SSH keys with custom patterns"
  homepage "https://github.com/opendream/vanityssh-rust"
  version "{VERSION}"
  
  on_macos do
    if Hardware::CPU.arm?
      url "https://github.com/opendream/vanityssh-rust/releases/download/v{VERSION}/vanityssh-rust-v{VERSION}-macos-universal.tar.gz"
      sha256 "{MACOS_SHA256}"
    else
      url "https://github.com/opendream/vanityssh-rust/releases/download/v{VERSION}/vanityssh-rust-v{VERSION}-macos-universal.tar.gz"
      sha256 "{MACOS_SHA256}"
    end
  end
  
  on_linux do
    url "https://github.com/opendream/vanityssh-rust/releases/download/v{VERSION}/vanityssh-rust-v{VERSION}-linux-x86_64-musl.tar.gz"
    sha256 "{LINUX_SHA256}"
  end
  
  def install
    bin.install "bin/vanityssh-rust"
  end
end
