Build and test deb/rpm packages

Prerequisites

Tools:

• Go
• GoReleaser
• Podman
• make

How to build and test

To build the Collector Linux packages, a few steps are required:

• Run make generate to (re-)generate sources and GoReleaser files
• Go to the distribution folder that you want to build (under the distributions folder)
• Run goreleaser release --snapshot --clean --skip sbom,sign,archive,docker
  • This will build the necessary release assets with all architectures and packaging types into the dist folder inside your current folder. (We can skip many parts of the release build that we don't need for running the package tests locally)
  • We use GoReleaser Pro only features in CI. If you want to run this locally, and you run into unmarshal errors, you may have to remove the parts that goreleaser complains about or use a pro license.
• Go back to the root of the repo
• To start the package tests, run: ./scripts/package-tests/package-tests.sh ./distributions/<otelcol|otelcol-contrib>/dist/<otelcol|otelcol-contrib>_*-SNAPSHOT-*_linux_amd64.<deb|rpm> <otelcol|otelcol-contrib>
