Research direction
Review the repository's existing packaging scripts or CI configuration. Examine the 12 comments for any prior work or suggestions. For Linux, investigate tools like fpm or deb/rpm packaging guides; for Windows, WiX or MSI packaging; for macOS, creating a .dmg. For Raspberry Pi images, consider using PiShrink or similar. Engage the maintainer to clarify preferred distribution channels and formats.
