# `bsdtar` (libarchive-tools) is required by electron-builder's pacman
# target to generate the package .MTREE; it isn't on the GitHub Ubuntu
# runners (x64 or arm64).

# electron-builder only bundles an x86 `fpm`, so the deb/pacman targets
# fail with "Exec format error" on the native arm64 runner. Install a
# native fpm there and switch electron-builder to it via USE_SYSTEM_FPM.
# Scope the flag to arm64 by exporting it to $GITHUB_ENV only here:
# defining USE_SYSTEM_FPM at all (even empty) makes electron-builder use
# a system fpm, which the x64 runner doesn't have.
