Don't store dist paths in release archive

[Impact123]

TLDR: Stores just the release file for easy extraction.

This adds the j flag to the zip command in the make file's CI step

-j
--junk-paths
Store just the name of a saved file (junk the path), and do not store
directory names. By default, zip will store the full path (relative to the current directory).

Before

# rm -f gollama*.zip; zip -r gollama-linux-amd64.zip ./dist/linux_amd64/gollama; unzip -l gollama-linux-amd64.zip
  adding: dist/linux_amd64/gollama (stored 0%)
Archive:  gollama-linux-amd64.zip
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
        0  2025-03-08 12:39   dist/linux_amd64/gollama
---------                     -------
        0                     1 file

After

# rm -f gollama*.zip; zip -rj gollama-linux-amd64.zip ./dist/linux_amd64/gollama; unzip -l gollama-linux-amd64.zip
  adding: gollama (stored 0%)
Archive:  gollama-linux-amd64.zip
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
        0  2025-03-08 12:39   gollama
---------                     -------
        0                     1 file

The point of this is that it's fewer steps/arguments to put the binary in the right place. I can't think of a good reason for having the file in a dist directory.
Currently one has to either move the file out of the path and then delete it or use

unzip -j gollama-linux-amd64.zip dist/linux_amd64/gollama

1. Overview

1.1 PR Summary

• Business value and requirements alignment: The PR simplifies the extraction process for users by reducing the number of steps required. It aligns with the business requirement of improving user experience.
• Key components modified: The Makefile, specifically the zip command for creating release archives.
• Impact assessment: The change may affect users who rely on the existing behavior and any downstream processes or scripts that rely on the specific file paths stored in the release archives.
• System dependencies and integration impacts: The change affects the CI/CD pipeline and may impact any downstream processes or scripts that rely on the release archives.

1.2 Architecture Changes

• System design modifications: None
• Component interactions: The change affects the interaction between the Makefile and the zip command, as well as any downstream processes or scripts that rely on the release archives.
• Integration points: The change may impact any integration points that rely on the specific file paths stored in the release archives.

2. Detailed Technical Analysis

2.1 Code Logic Deep-Dive

Core Logic Changes

• Makefile - Zip command for release archives
  • Submitted PR Code:

    -@zip -rj gollama-macos.zip ./dist/macos/gollama
    -@zip -rj gollama-linux-amd64.zip ./dist/linux_amd64/gollama
    -@zip -rj gollama-linux-arm64.zip ./dist/linux_arm64/gollama

• Analysis:
  • The PR introduces the -j or --junk-paths flag to the zip command, which stores only the base name of saved files and does not store directory names. This simplifies the extraction process but changes the file structure within the release archives.
  • Edge cases to consider: The change may break any scripts or tools that rely on the original file paths within the release archives.
  • Cross-component impact: The change affects the CI/CD pipeline and may impact any downstream processes or scripts that rely on the release archives.
  • Business logic considerations: The change simplifies the extraction process for users but may cause compatibility issues if not properly addressed.
• LlamaPReview Suggested Improvements:

    -@zip -rj --transform=gollama gollama-macos.zip ./dist/macos/gollama
    -@zip -rj --transform=gollama gollama-linux-amd64.zip ./dist/linux_amd64/gollama
    -@zip -rj --transform=gollama gollama-linux-arm64.zip ./dist/linux_arm64/gollama

• Improvement rationale:
  • Adding the --transform flag with gollama ensures that the executable file is always named gollama within the release archives, regardless of the platform. This maintains consistency across different platforms and reduces the risk of breaking changes.
  • Technical benefits: The improvement maintains the simplicity of the extraction process while reducing the risk of breaking changes.
  • Business value: The improvement ensures that users can continue to use their existing scripts or tools with the new release archives, minimizing potential compatibility issues.
  • Risk assessment: The improvement reduces the risk of breaking changes and compatibility issues, making the transition smoother for users.

3. Critical Findings

3.1 Potential Issues

• 🔴 Critical Issues

  • Impact: The change in file structure within the release archives could break any scripts or tools that rely on the original paths. This could potentially cause issues for users who have scripts or tools that rely on the original file paths.
  • Recommendation: Thoroughly test the new release archives with any known downstream processes or scripts to ensure they continue to function as expected. If possible, involve users in testing the new release archives to ensure they meet their needs and expectations.

• 🟡 Warnings

  • Warning: The change simplifies the extraction process but changes the file structure within the release archives.
  • Potential risks: Users who have scripts or tools that rely on the original file paths may face compatibility issues when using the new release archives.
