While you can certainly build launcher, I’m always curious about why organizations decide to build from source instead of using the binaries.

07/18/2019, 8:13 PM@seph I had played with the launcher in the past and was able to generate a package straight from it with all my configs

Launcher’s build needs to be in gopath.

you don’t need to build launcher to use package-builder. But default, package-builder grabs the stable launcher binaries

Not sure if there’s another question in there

You could also find my recent querycon talk about package-builder. Towards the end of it, there’s a screencast of me using it.

Yeah, package-builder is designed for that.

https://github.com/kolide/launcher/blob/master/docs/package-builder.md exists, though may need improvement.
