Description

Right now, building a new version of dstopic is a bit of a manual process. You have to cd into the dstopic dir, make sure to have npm installed, and then you need to do npm run build, and then you can build a new ds release.

Until such a time when ds can host itself and manage the dstopic distro itself, we need to have a better build process for this, hopefully automating more of it so we don't forget these steps?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current build process in the dstopic directory, identify manual steps such as 'cd dstopic', 'npm run build', and create a script (e.g., Makefile or shell script) to automate them. Consider integrating with the main ds build system.
