Offer bottles? #27

Open real-or-random opened 3 years ago

real-or-random commented 3 years ago

Have you considered offering precompiled bottles? I've seen this blog post which explains that this is much easier now: https://brew.sh/2020/11/18/homebrew-tap-with-bottles-uploaded-to-github-releases/

That would be nice and would help me (and possible others) who are using this valgrind fork on CI (where re-compiling it every time wastes time).

Feel free to close this if this is not in the scope of this project.

Pre-compiled releases have been on my todo list for a while, that seems like an easy solution, I will definitely look into it.

The main issues with valgrind are: you have to set where it will be stored when building it (you can't move it to a random directory, etc) and each build is specific to the version of macOS it is built on. Neither of these are blockers but they make it harder to provide pre-compiled binaries.

I will revisit this once Big Sur support has stabilized a bit.
