📦 Atop Package Builder

This repository contains a GitHub Actions workflow to build atop as both .deb and .rpm packages using Docker.
The workflow is manually triggered and accepts a version input.

🚀 Features

• Builds .deb and .rpm packages from separate Dockerfiles
• Parallel build jobs for faster execution
• Manual trigger with version input
• Artifacts are stored as downloadable build outputs

🧰 Requirements

• Dockerfiles must be present at:
  • Dockerfile.deb for Debian-based package build
  • Dockerfile.rpm for RPM-based package build
• Each Dockerfile must:
  • Accept a build-arg named ATOP_VERSION
  • Place the built package(s) in /build inside the container

🛠️ Usage

To build atop packages:

1. Go to the Actions tab in your GitHub repository.
2. Select the workflow: 📦 Build Atop Linux Packages (.deb & .rpm).
3. Click Run workflow.
4. Enter the version number to build (e.g., 2.11.1).
5. Click Run workflow to start the job.

After the build finishes, you can download the generated .deb and .rpm files from the "Artifacts" section of the workflow run.

🗂️ Output

• atop-<version>_amd64.deb: contains the built .deb file(s)
• atop-<version>-1.el8.x86_64: contains the built .rpm file(s)

💡 Notes

• The build jobs are completely isolated using Docker — no atop or its dependencies are installed on the host.
• You can further extend this workflow to automatically upload the built packages to an internal Pulp repository if desired.
