Johnathan Corgan 86c043cc94 docs: document libclang-dev as a mandatory Linux build prerequisite
Linux source builds pull in rustables, whose build script runs bindgen
to generate nftables bindings for the LAN gateway. bindgen needs
libclang.so on the build host, so a clean source build fails with
'Unable to find libclang' unless libclang-dev (or llvm) is installed.

The prerequisite text in README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md previously
listed only the optional BLE dependencies, and packaging/README.md had
no source-build prerequisite list at all. Document libclang-dev as a
mandatory Linux build dependency, distinct from the optional BLE deps,
and note that it is build-time only so pre-built .deb installs are
unaffected.

# FIPS Packaging
This directory contains packaging for all supported target platforms.
All build outputs go to `deploy/` at the project root.
## Quick Start
```sh
make deb # Debian/Ubuntu .deb
make tarball # systemd install tarball
make ipk # OpenWrt .ipk
make aur # Arch Linux AUR package (fips-git, local build + namcap)
make pkg # macOS .pkg installer
make zip # Windows .zip package
make all # deb + tarball (default)
```
## Build Prerequisites
These targets build FIPS from source, so the host needs a build
environment in addition to a Rust toolchain (the version pinned in
`rust-toolchain.toml` is auto-installed by rustup).
On Linux, `libclang` is **required**: the LAN gateway's nftables
bindings are generated by `bindgen` at build time, which needs
`libclang.so` on the build host. Without it the build fails inside the
`rustables` crate with an "Unable to find libclang" error.
```sh
sudo apt install libclang-dev # Debian / Ubuntu
```
This is a build-time prerequisite only — it is not a runtime
dependency, so hosts installing a pre-built `.deb` do not need it.
BLE support is optional and, when building with it, additionally needs
`bluez`, `libdbus-1-dev`, and `pkg-config`; the build picks up BLE if
those are present and skips it cleanly if not.
## Directory Structure
```text
packaging/
aur/ Arch Linux AUR packaging (PKGBUILD, supporting files)
common/ Shared assets (default config, hosts file)
debian/ Debian/Ubuntu .deb packaging via cargo-deb
macos/ macOS .pkg installer via pkgbuild
systemd/ Generic Linux systemd tarball packaging
openwrt/ OpenWrt .ipk packaging via cargo-zigbuild
windows/ Windows .zip package with service scripts
```
## Formats
### Debian/Ubuntu (`.deb`)
Built with [cargo-deb](https://github.com/kornelski/cargo-deb). Installs
`fips`, `fipsctl`, and `fipstop` to `/usr/bin/`, and enables the systemd
service.
The default configuration ships as an example at
`/usr/share/fips/fips.yaml.example` and is **not** a dpkg conf-file.
(It is deliberately **not** under `/usr/share/doc`, which minimal and
container installs path-exclude, since the postinst reads it at install
time.)
On install, `postinst` seeds `/etc/fips/fips.yaml` (mode 600) from the
example **only if it does not already exist**, so a configuration that
was rendered by configuration management or edited by an operator is
never prompted for or clobbered on upgrade. To reset to defaults, remove
`/etc/fips/fips.yaml` and reinstall, or copy the example back manually.
```sh
# Build
make deb
# Install
sudo dpkg -i deploy/fips_<version>_<arch>.deb
# Remove (preserves config and keys)
sudo dpkg -r fips
# Purge (removes config and identity keys)
sudo dpkg -P fips
```
### systemd Tarball
A self-contained tarball with binaries and an `install.sh` script for
any systemd-based Linux distribution.
```sh
# Build
make tarball
# Install (on target host)
tar -xzf deploy/fips-<version>-linux-<arch>.tar.gz
sudo ./fips-<version>-linux-<arch>/install.sh
```
See [systemd/README.install.md](systemd/README.install.md) for full
installation and configuration instructions.
### OpenWrt (`.ipk`)
Cross-compiled with cargo-zigbuild and assembled as a standard `.ipk`
archive. Supports aarch64, mipsel, mips, arm, and x86\_64 targets.
```sh
# Build (default: aarch64)
make ipk
# Build for a specific architecture
bash packaging/openwrt/build-ipk.sh --arch mipsel
```
See [openwrt/README.md](openwrt/README.md) for router-specific
installation instructions.
### macOS (`.pkg`)
Built with `pkgbuild` (included with Xcode command-line tools). Installs
binaries to `/usr/local/bin/`, config to `/usr/local/etc/fips/`, sets up
the `/etc/resolver/fips` DNS resolver for `.fips` domains, and loads a
launchd daemon. The TUN device is named `utun<N>` (kernel-assigned)
rather than `fips0`.
```sh
# Build
make pkg
# Install
sudo installer -pkg deploy/fips-<version>-macos-<arch>.pkg -target /
# Remove
sudo packaging/macos/uninstall.sh
```
### Windows (`.zip`)
A ZIP archive containing binaries, default config, and PowerShell
service helper scripts. Requires the [wintun](https://www.wintun.net/)
driver for TUN support.
```powershell
# Build
make zip
# Or directly
powershell -File packaging/windows/build-zip.ps1
# Extract and install as service (requires Administrator)
Expand-Archive deploy\fips-<version>-windows-x86_64.zip -DestinationPath fips
cd fips
powershell -File install-service.ps1
# Uninstall (preserves config)
powershell -File uninstall-service.ps1
# Uninstall and remove config
powershell -File uninstall-service.ps1 -RemoveAll
```
### Arch Linux (AUR)
Two AUR packages are maintained: `fips` (release, builds from tagged
tarball) and `fips-git` (development, builds from latest git master).
```sh
# Build and validate locally (git variant)
make aur
# Install from AUR
yay -S fips-git # development build from master
yay -S fips # release build from latest tag
```
See [aur/README.md](aur/README.md) for AUR publication instructions
and maintainer guide.
## Shared Assets
`common/` contains assets used across packaging formats:
- `fips.yaml` — default configuration (ephemeral identity, UDP/TCP/TUN/DNS)
- `hosts` — static hostname-to-npub mappings for `.fips` DNS resolution
