JFrog is going to close Bintray #87

Closed smorimoto closed 3 years ago

smorimoto commented 3 years ago

Perhaps we need to migrate to some alternative platform. https://jfrog.com/blog/into-the-sunset-bintray-jcenter-gocenter-and-chartcenter/

fdopen commented 3 years ago

Yes, thanks for reminding me about it. It should be possible to upload the binaries to github instead (e.g. attach it to the tags https://github.com/fdopen/ocaml/releases ). Or would this solution have any disadvantages? (e.g a github policy I don't know yet)

smorimoto commented 3 years ago

There is no major disadvantage, but it's a little different from the intended release usage, and GitHub should have had some rate limits for it, so use with CI may be problematic. Maybe @avsm can help with this. (I just sent a message on Slack about this.)

avsm commented 3 years ago

Uploading release binaries to GitHub shouldn't be a problem -- you just need to (as usual) make sure that for the project involved that the license terms are met and it's fine (e.g. for GPL code make the code associated with the binary available, that sort of thing)

smorimoto commented 3 years ago

Indeed!
