Linux universal installer

1. Structure of installer/linux/ dir:
   \ ..
   | - / <– distro specified files, eg. PKGBUILD, control
   | - /
   | - linux/ <– common files, eg. brackets.desktop
   | | - .INFO.template <– template (hidden) for INFO file
   | \ - INFO
   | - staging/ <– staging folder
   | - build_installer.sh
   | - _builder.sh
   \ - _builder.sh
2. Description of files:
   • build_installer.sh – checks which distribution is currently used and starts _<distro_name>builder.sh
   • _<distro_name>builder.sh – builds distro-specified package inside <distro_name> directory
   • INFO – file with version number and other build-specified information. Generated by task/build.js
3. Testing
   I check that 64-bit packages (for ubuntu and arch) builds without errors. I've successful instaled package for arch 64-bit and for ubuntu 64-bit (via https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brackets/ script).
4. Package naming convention
   I use "sprint30" as version number, but perhaps better would be full version number – "0.30.0-0"?

Wow, thanks @macie for the contribution. The end of sprint 30 is coming up on Wednesday, so I probably won't have time to fully review and test this pull request by then. I'll make sure this is on our list for sprint 31.

That is a great contribution. Thank you. BTW: did anybody try to install on a 32Bit System?

@macie I want to get a good grip on creating packages for arch linux. Is this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Creating_Packages a good resource or have you found others?

Can we rename installer/linux/linux to installer/linux/common?

@macie Initial review complete, but I haven't really reviewed the Arch packaging yet. I'm having some difficulties getting that setup. If you know someone else who is more familiar with Arch that can at least test your package and possibly review the PKGBUILD file, that would help.

@jasonsanjose building packages for arch linux is quite simple. It use makepkg command on PKGBUILD file.

Yes, installer/linux/common sounds better than installer/linux/linux.

PS. Apologize for my absence

@macie thanks for the follow up. Please drop a comment for me here when you've pushed your changes. Please note that I'll be out on vacation starting the end of next week. If this pull request is still open @JeffryBooher will assist.

Also note that our sprint ends next Wednesday, September 19. Ideally we would like to land these changes sooner to get more testing.
