Make tarball of executable available in releases #43

Closed CIAvash closed 2 years ago

CIAvash commented 3 years ago

Is it possible to create tarball of the (one big) executable file and the LICENSE file. With version in its name, and a signature file and/or checksums. And publish them in the GitHub releases?

It seems the releases are uploaded to the rakubrew.org server, but I am not able to access them, unless I'm missing something.

Thinking of creating a binary package for AUR.

Hi! I can make sure the previous releases are also accessible on rakubrew.org. (I prefer not to depend on GitHub too much.) May I ask: Is there a reason, you prefer to base the AUR package on the fat-packed script instead of on the CPAN releases? The CPAN version behaves a little different in that it prevents self-upgrade from working. That might be preferable behavior for a distro package as well.

Just faster installation, I installed with cpanm and it took a while, I guess --notest can help. There is already a package for installing via perl packages and makefile, maybe that is faster, I don't know. I usually use binary packages to avoid building everything, though in this case it's not really a binary. A lot of people prefer to build packages themselves, maybe I would do the same if I had a faster computer, I guess :)

And I prefer to manage programs from OS's package manager whenever feasible.

It's not a big issue if it takes your time.

Also a question, where does the man page come from? From CPAN?

Should be fixed. See https://rakubrew.org/releases

I think CPAN (unsure which piece of the stack) somehow auto generates a man page from the POD documentation in the module.

@patrickbkr Hi, the https://rakubrew.org/releases no longer shows the files paths and I get error 403 when I try to get https://rakubrew.org/files/26/perl/rakubrew for example.

Seems like the server somehow fell back on an older version. I'll have a look in the evening.

As I suspected, the server somehow fell back to an old version of the website. Fixed now.
