versioned binaries? #17

Closed rgl closed 4 years ago

rgl commented 4 years ago

Can you start publishing versioned binaries at https://github.com/cloudbase/cloudbase-init/releases?

Currently, the MSI installers are published in a stable/nightly build format: Stable (64bit) https://www.cloudbase.it/downloads/CloudbaseInitSetup_Stable_x64.msi (32bit) https://www.cloudbase.it/downloads/CloudbaseInitSetup_Stable_x86.msi

Beta (64bit) https://www.cloudbase.it/downloads/CloudbaseInitSetup_x64.msi (32bit) https://www.cloudbase.it/downloads/CloudbaseInitSetup_x86.msi

https://github.com/cloudbase/cloudbase-init#downloads

Indeed, those are clearly mentioned on the documentation, but that's not what I was really asking for :-)

From a user standpoint, it would be easier (or normal for a project hosted in github) to have the artifacts in this project release page. The release page is more explicit about the binaries as they will have a dedicated page per release/version and we can easily download any version from a stable / versioned URL.

As this is Python project, you can run the code directly if you have a Python environment. I understand what you are asking, only that the process of creating the MSI installer is not that straightforward. I suppose the GitHub actions environment can allow such a build in the future, at least for the newer releases.

This is the installer code, in case you ever need to build your own installer: https://github.com/cloudbase/cloudbase-init-installer

Hi @rgl, added them for 0.9.11 and we'll keep doing so moving forward. Thanks for bringing this up!
