Consider using rust-everywhere? #3

Would you be open to using something like rust-everywhere to provide distributables for various platforms?

I am definitely not opposed to it. Thanks for the link, I'll have a look into it!

Check it out, I re-tagged the latest release, and now the binaries are rolling in: https://github.com/esphen/wsta/releases/tag/0.2.1

rust-everywhere is pretty cool. You just tag and push, and it spins up some travis CI workers which automatically release to GitHub when they finish compiling and testing.

Some issues, however:

  1. I could not get arm releases to work. This is because libssl-dev is not in the main repository, and no matter what witchcraft I used, I could not get amd64 trusty Ubuntu to install it from ports.
  2. I was not able to statically link openssl, so there is potential for issues if you don't have the same version that the binary was compiled with (which at first glance looks like 1.0.1f). This is not a new issue, however.
  3. I didn't even touch windows. That monster will have to be tamed later.

Since I have been bashing my head against the table for some while, I figured it is better to release something now than nothing ever. It's not perfect, but it's at least more binaries than before.

Thanks again for the tip!
