Flat Binary
Distributions of this type provide a platform specific native binary, as a consequence you must specify a platform value for each one of their artifacts.
Distributions of this type only provide a single executable binary with no additional files. Should you require more than one file then have a look at the Binary distribution.
Creating a Distribution
You can use any tool/language at your disposal to create binary executables.
Universal Binaries
Binary distributions are expected to deliver platform specific binaries thus every artifact must have a value set for their
respective platform property. However, it’s possible to skip validating this setting by defining an extra property named
universal, like it’s shown in the following snippet:
distributions:
app:
type: FLAT_BINARY
artifacts:
- path: target/distributions/{{distributionName}}/{{distributionName}}-{{projectVersion}}
extraProperties:
universal: true
