Compatibility with different operating systems

[utkarshak13]

The valkey-glide library's current dependency setup makes it difficult to manage the underlying operating system classifiers (e.g., linux-x86_64, osx-x86_64) on the client side. We currently have to manually update the dependency when switching between our local development environment (macOS) and our production environment (Linux).

The need to hardcode a specific OS classifier is not ideal for a generic client-side library. This practice leads o the developers adjusting their build configuration.
We would like to understand a generic way for including the valkey-glide dependency that automatically resolves the correct underlying OS classifier at build or runtime, depending on the environment.

Hi @utkarshak13 , thank you for reaching out!

Not sure if your project use Gradle or Maven, but both of them have plugins/extensions that can auto-detect current system architecture and OS for the classifier field:

plugins {
    id 'com.google.osdetector' version '1.7.3'
}

dependencies {
    implementation "io.valkey:valkey-glide:2.1.1:${osdetector.classifier}"
}

<build>
    <extensions>
        <extension>
            <groupId>kr.motd.maven</groupId>
            <artifactId>os-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.7.1</version>
        </extension>
    </extensions>
</build>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.valkey</groupId>
        <artifactId>valkey-glide</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.1</version>
        <classifier>${os.detected.classifier}</classifier>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Please let us know if these work with your project. We can discuss other options if they can't meet your need.
