Local packaging via Pyinstaller

Install dev dependencies first:

uv sync --locked --all-extras

Build the app:

uv run pyinstaller --noconfirm --clean sbom-viewer.spec

The built app will be created in:

• dist/sbom-viewer/ on Linux and Windows
• dist/SBOM Viewer.app on macOS

Smoke-test the packaged app:

uv run python scripts/smoke_test_pyinstaller.py --app-dir dist/sbom-viewer

On Linux, run the smoke test under xvfb if needed:

xvfb-run -a uv run python scripts/smoke_test_pyinstaller.py --app-dir dist/sbom-viewer

Create a versioned archive:

uv run python scripts/package_pyinstaller_dist.py \
  --app-dir dist/sbom-viewer \
  --platform-id linux-x64 \
  --version 1.1.0 \
  --output-dir packaged
