# Publication Setup Summary

This document summarizes the publication setup completed for finishte.sh.

## Files Created

### 1. Installation Script
- **`docs/install.sh`** - Enhanced one-line installer with:
  - Dependency checking
  - Shell detection (bash/zsh)
  - Color-coded output
  - Error handling
  - PATH management
  - Usage: `curl -sSL <URL>/install.sh | bash`

### 2. Debian Package Structure
Complete Debian packaging in `debian/` directory:
- **`control`** - Package metadata and dependencies
- **`rules`** - Build instructions
- **`changelog`** - Version history
- **`copyright`** - License information
- **`compat`** - Debhelper compatibility level
- **`postinst`** - Post-installation script
- **`source/format`** - Package format specification

Build command: `dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b`

### 3. Homebrew Formula
- **`homebrew/finish.rb`** - Homebrew formula for macOS
- Includes dependencies, installation steps, and caveats
- Update SHA256 after creating releases

### 4. Docker Configuration
- **`Dockerfile`** - Production container image
- **`Dockerfile.test`** - Testing container with BATS
- **`docker-compose.yml`** - Multi-service Docker setup
- **`.dockerignore`** - Excludes unnecessary files from builds

### 5. GitHub Actions Workflows
CI/CD automation in `.github/workflows/`:
- **`test.yml`** - Runs tests on every push/PR
- **`release.yml`** - Creates releases and builds packages
- **`docker.yml`** - Builds and publishes Docker images

### 6. Documentation
- **`PUBLISHING.md`** - Comprehensive publishing guide
- **`README.md`** - Updated with installation methods
- **`.gitignore`** - Updated to exclude build artifacts

## Distribution Channels

### 1. Quick Install (Recommended)
```bash
curl -sSL https://git.appmodel.nl/Tour/finish/raw/branch/main/docs/install.sh | bash
```

### 2. Debian/Ubuntu Package
Users can install the `.deb` file:
```bash
sudo dpkg -i finish_*.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
```

Or from an APT repository (when configured):
```bash
sudo apt-get install finish
```

### 3. Homebrew (macOS)
```bash
brew tap closedloop-technologies/finish
brew install finish
```

### 4. Docker
```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/closedloop-technologies/finish:latest
docker run -it ghcr.io/closedloop-technologies/finish:latest
```

### 5. From Source
```bash
git clone https://git.appmodel.nl/Tour/finish.git
cd finish
./finishte.sh install
```

## Next Steps

### Immediate Actions
1. **Test the installation script** on clean systems
2. **Build and test the Debian package**:
   ```bash
   dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
   sudo dpkg -i ../finish_*.deb
   ```
3. **Test Docker builds**:
   ```bash
   docker build -t finish:test .
   docker run -it finish:test
   ```

### For First Release
1. **Update version numbers** in:
   - `finishte.sh` (line 34)
   - `debian/changelog`
   - `homebrew/finish.rb`
   - `docs/install.sh`
   - `Dockerfile`

2. **Create release tarball**:
   ```bash
   git archive --format=tar.gz --prefix=finish-0.5.0/ v0.5.0 > finish-0.5.0.tar.gz
   ```

3. **Calculate SHA256** for Homebrew:
   ```bash
   sha256sum finish-0.5.0.tar.gz
   ```

4. **Create and push tag**:
   ```bash
   git tag -a v0.5.0 -m "Release v0.5.0"
   git push origin v0.5.0
   ```
   This triggers GitHub Actions to build everything automatically.

### Setting Up Package Repositories

#### APT Repository Options:
1. **Packagecloud** (easiest):
   - Sign up at https://packagecloud.io
   - Upload .deb file
   - Users get one-line install

2. **GitHub Pages** (free):
   - Use `reprepro` to create repository
   - Host on GitHub Pages
   - Users add your repository to sources

See `PUBLISHING.md` for detailed instructions.

#### Homebrew Tap:
1. Create GitHub repo: `homebrew-finish`
2. Add formula to `Formula/finish.rb`
3. Users install with: `brew tap yourname/finish && brew install finish`

## Testing Checklist

Before releasing:
- [ ] Test install script on Ubuntu 22.04
- [ ] Test install script on Debian 12
- [ ] Test install script on macOS
- [ ] Build Debian package successfully
- [ ] Install and test Debian package
- [ ] Build Docker image successfully
- [ ] Run BATS tests in Docker
- [ ] Test Homebrew formula (if applicable)
- [ ] Verify all version numbers match
- [ ] Test GitHub Actions workflows

## Automation

The GitHub Actions workflows handle:
- **On every push/PR**: Run tests, lint code, build Docker images
- **On version tag push**: Build packages, create release, publish Docker images

This means once set up, releasing a new version is as simple as:
```bash
git tag -a v0.5.1 -m "Release v0.5.1"
git push origin v0.5.1
```

Everything else happens automatically!

## Support Channels

Consider setting up:
- GitHub Issues for bug reports
- GitHub Discussions for Q&A
- Documentation website (GitHub Pages)
- Discord/Slack community (optional)
