Could refactor to single deployable artifact. #50

Closed adammitchelldev closed 3 years ago

adammitchelldev commented 4 years ago

Currently we deploy console-distribution as a separate artifact to various release versions for different platforms. Ideally we can cut this down to a single release distribution package but currently this requires working around the difficult assemble_targz macro and there are difficulties with bazel and archive directory structure.

A counter-argument is that since console-distribution is not platform specific, it can be thought of as the "base artifact" from which all platform specific artifacts are built.

Technically, even though Console (unlike the server) doesn't have any platform-specific code, distributions of Console for different operating systems are platform-dependant. For example: Windows distribution only contains typedb.bat (CMD); distributions for macOS and Linux contain typedb (Bash). Therefore, it makes sense to continue keeping them separate.
