- Migrate from legacy shell-based build system to modern Python tooling
- Update all metadata.yaml files to new schema with per-distro builds
- Standardise build scripts with curl -L, envsubst, and error handling
- Convert nfpm.yaml templates to use environment variable substitution
- Update Dockerfile to accept all package metadata as build arguments
- Modernise Makefile to use new Python build tool commands
- Update CI workflow to use tools/build instead of make
Standardize download commands across all build scripts:
- HashiCorp packages: wget -O → curl -o
- VictoriaMetrics packages: wget -O → curl -o
- Other packages: wget -O → curl -o, wget → curl -O
- Update dependency lists to use curl instead of wget
This change provides consistency across all packages and uses a single download tool.
- the build job searches for the package in dnf cache, but because it
was three packages in victoriametrics, it would never find the package
and therfore would rebuild the package every run
