There are currently two different tools within this repo. The so calledRSTAR utility,which manages the Linux build, and thechocolatey bases build script, which manages the Windows MSI build.

• BASH based tool, should work on any Linux OS (and maybe also macOS?)
• More information can be found in therelated Wiki page

The therstar utility is written inbash, all additional features should bealso based onbash. Using other utilities is accepted, but effort should be made toavoid introducing new utilities. Furthermore, all code should be linted againstshellcheck and not produce any warnings.

• APowershell script, which internally uses chocolatey to create a Windows MSI package
• More information to be added in thewiki

The first column is the name ofthe module, the second the protocol to use, with the third column being theURL to fetch it from. Columns following the third have different meaningdepending on the protocol.
