## Building for Distribution

### Linux

1. **Build the release binary:**
   ```bash
   cargo build --release
   ```

2. **Test the installation script:**
   ```bash
   cd packaging/linux
   ./install.sh
   ```

3. **Create a distribution package:**
   ```bash
   # Create a tarball
   cd target/release
   tar -czf rlogg-linux-x64.tar.gz rlogg ../../packaging/linux/*
   ```

### Windows

1. **Build the release binary:**
   ```powershell
   cargo build --release
   ```

2. **Test the installation script:**
   ```powershell
   cd packaging\windows
   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1
   ```

3. **Create a distribution package:**
   ```powershell
   # Create a ZIP file
   Compress-Archive -Path target\release\rlogg.exe, packaging\windows\* -DestinationPath rlogg-windows-x64.zip
   ```

## Distribution Packages

### Linux Packages

#### DEB Package (Debian/Ubuntu)

Create a `debian/` directory structure for building `.deb` packages:

```bash
mkdir -p debian/usr/local/bin
mkdir -p debian/usr/share/applications
mkdir -p debian/usr/share/mime/packages

cp target/release/rlogg debian/usr/local/bin/
cp packaging/linux/rlogg.desktop debian/usr/share/applications/
cp packaging/linux/text-x-log.xml debian/usr/share/mime/packages/

# Create DEBIAN control file
mkdir -p debian/DEBIAN
cat > debian/DEBIAN/control <<EOF
Package: rlogg
Version: 0.3.1
Section: utils
Priority: optional
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Your Name <your.email@example.com>
Description: Fast log file viewer
 A fast log file viewer with search, filtering, and highlighting capabilities
EOF

# Build the package
dpkg-deb --build debian rlogg_0.3.1_amd64.deb
```

#### AppImage

For universal Linux distribution:

```bash
# Install linuxdeploy
wget https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy/releases/download/continuous/linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage

# Create AppDir structure
mkdir -p AppDir/usr/bin
mkdir -p AppDir/usr/share/applications
mkdir -p AppDir/usr/share/mime/packages

cp target/release/rlogg AppDir/usr/bin/
cp packaging/linux/rlogg.desktop AppDir/usr/share/applications/
cp packaging/linux/text-x-log.xml AppDir/usr/share/mime/packages/

# Build AppImage
./linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage --appdir AppDir --output appimage
```

### Windows Packages

#### NSIS Installer

Install NSIS and create an installer script:

```nsis
!define APPNAME "RLogg"
!define COMPANYNAME "Your Company"
!define DESCRIPTION "Fast log file viewer"
!define VERSIONMAJOR 0
!define VERSIONMINOR 3
!define VERSIONBUILD 1

RequestExecutionLevel user

Name "${APPNAME}"
Icon "path\to\icon.ico"
OutFile "rlogg-setup.exe"
InstallDir "$LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\${APPNAME}"

Section "Install"
  SetOutPath $INSTDIR
  File "target\release\rlogg.exe"

  WriteUninstaller "$INSTDIR\Uninstall.exe"

  # Create file association
  WriteRegStr HKCU "Software\Classes\.log" "" "RLogg.LogFile"
  WriteRegStr HKCU "Software\Classes\RLogg.LogFile\shell\open\command" "" '"$INSTDIR\rlogg.exe" "%1"'
SectionEnd

Section "Uninstall"
  Delete "$INSTDIR\rlogg.exe"
  Delete "$INSTDIR\Uninstall.exe"
  RMDir "$INSTDIR"

  DeleteRegKey HKCU "Software\Classes\.log"
  DeleteRegKey HKCU "Software\Classes\RLogg.LogFile"
SectionEnd
```

## Testing File Associations

### Linux Testing

1. **Create a test log file:**
   ```bash
   echo "Test log entry" > /tmp/test.log
   ```

2. **Test command-line opening:**
   ```bash
   rlogg /tmp/test.log
   ```

3. **Test XDG opening:**
   ```bash
   xdg-open /tmp/test.log
   ```

4. **Test in file manager:**
   - Navigate to `/tmp/` in your file manager
   - Double-click `test.log`
   - Right-click → Open With → RLogg

5. **Test multiple files:**
   ```bash
   echo "Log 1" > /tmp/test1.log
   echo "Log 2" > /tmp/test2.log
   rlogg /tmp/test1.log /tmp/test2.log
   ```

### Windows Testing

1. **Create a test log file:**
   ```powershell
   "Test log entry" | Out-File -FilePath "$env:TEMP\test.log"
   ```

2. **Test command-line opening:**
   ```powershell
   & "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\RLogg\rlogg.exe" "$env:TEMP\test.log"
   ```

3. **Test in File Explorer:**
   - Open File Explorer
   - Navigate to `%TEMP%`
   - Double-click `test.log`
   - Right-click → Open with → RLogg

4. **Test multiple files:**
   ```powershell
   "Log 1" | Out-File -FilePath "$env:TEMP\test1.log"
   "Log 2" | Out-File -FilePath "$env:TEMP\test2.log"
   & "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\RLogg\rlogg.exe" "$env:TEMP\test1.log" "$env:TEMP\test2.log"
   ```

## Platform-Specific Notes

### Linux

- **Desktop environments tested:**
  - GNOME 40+
  - KDE Plasma 5.20+
  - XFCE 4.16+
  - i3/sway (via xdg-utils)

- **Dependencies:**
  - `xdg-utils` for `update-desktop-database` and `update-mime-database`
  - Usually pre-installed on most distributions

- **Wayland compatibility:**
  - Tested and working on Wayland sessions
  - File associations work the same as X11

### Windows

- **Tested on:**
  - Windows 10 (version 1909+)
  - Windows 11

- **Registry location:**
  - User-local: `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\`
  - No admin rights required

- **Antivirus:**
  - Some antivirus software may flag unsigned executables
  - Consider code signing for production releases
