Tooling Impact
Adds arm64 Debian package build support to the packaging pipeline, including a new
deb-arm64package type, updated pipeline stages, and package name validation regex updates.Customer Impact
Regression
REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.
This is not a regression.
Testing
Verified via the original PR. Regression test validates that the
pwshbinary inside arm64 Debian packages has executable permissions. Package name validation regex updated to acceptarm64suffix.Risk
REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.
Adds a new
deb-arm64package type to the build pipeline. Existing package types are untouched, but the change touches core packaging logic and pipeline templates.Merge Conflicts
Conflict in tools/packaging/packaging.psm1 ValidateSet — release branch additionally contains
msitype not present in master. Resolved by keeping bothdeb-arm64(from the PR) andmsi(from the release branch).
