Motivation
Currently, the mockolo binary for aarch64 on Ubuntu is built on an x86_64 machine using Docker and qemu, which is extremely slow.
With the release of Static Linux SDK in Swift 6, we can speed up the build process for aarch64 Linux.
Changes
In the GitHub Actions for the release build, we install the Static Linux SDK and use it.
As a result, the size of the artifact bundle has increased. To address this, we provide a lightweight artifact bundle without Linux support for users who only use mockolo on macOS.
Misc
Since the Static Linux SDK uses musl, mockolo will be able to run on more Linux distributions. However, we do not have a strong motivation to actively support these additional distributions, so this is more of a bonus.
