Right now it’s a manual process to build the tarball. We basically check out each repo, run whatever build command is specified in the README, and then copy the artifacts into a temporary location.

To build the tarball, we unpack the OpenSearch tarball and run `opensearch-plugin install file://path/to/zip` for each plugin, then create a new tarball that rolls up the OpenSearch + installed plugins filesystem.

We’re working on automating this stuff, so you should see scripts start to appear in the opensearch-build repo over the next few weeks.
