How to build a release package of openvscode-server?

Open inga-lovinde opened this issue 3 months ago • 0 comments

The README here tells everything about how to use openvscode-server, but not how to build it.

And since some systems have problems with the packages provided on Releases tab here, requiring manual workarounds and patches on every update (e.g. https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/issues/534 ), and also some people do not very like to run binaries downloaded from github, I've been wondering if it would make sense to package openvscode-server for Alpine (which already has code-oss), so that people who are using Alpine-based containers can install and upgrade openvscode-server from their distro package repository, same as they would install, for example, node or any other package?

But I cannot find any "official" build instructions here which one could turn into an APKBUILD script.
