This subproject contains the necessary tooling to build the various distributions. Note that some of this can only be run on the specific architecture and does not support cross-compile.

The following distributions are being built:

• Archives (*.zip, *.tar): these form the basis for all other OpenSearch distributions
• Packages (*.deb, *.rpm): specific package formats for some Linux distributions
• Docker images
• Backwards compatibility tests: used internally for version compatibility testing, not for public consumption

For each supported platform there should be both a target bundled with a JDK and a target without a bundled JDK.
