@samuelattwood
do you think we can just copy goreleaser config from nats-server, to make it publish rpms too?

I don't believe this repo has ever published RPM artifacts, but I don't see why we couldn't update the goreleaser to publish them. I can make that change.

It would nice to have the RPM, I thought it was available in the past due to issue #77

As both nats-server and natscli come as rpm it would be really nice to have this as rpm, too.
