New Release #34

Open Justinzobel opened 4 years ago

Justinzobel commented 4 years ago

Can you please make a new release, last release was over 5 years ago and no tarball release since but more themes have been added.

codebrainz commented 4 years ago

I think the last release was when Github cancelled uploads.

Geany-themes is packaged in the Win32 and MacOS releases and I think most Linux distros are packaging it for their repos.

If you just want an archive, in Github you can download the zip file.

Master's hash changes so is no good for rebuilds, guess we'll have to switch a commit.

@Justinzobel can you elaborate a bit, maybe I misunderstood what you're asking?

Justinzobel commented 4 years ago

Releases are needed for distros to systematically package geany-themes for their users. They make it easier to package the software at a specific moment in time that the developer has declared a stable and worthwhile release.

What do you need from a release? Just a Git tag, or an actual generated tarball/archive?

Justinzobel commented 4 years ago

Generated tarball.

Can you key off of the index file? Whenever what most people would call a "release" is made, this JSON file is updated. It's used on Geany's website to keep up-to-date.

Alternatively I can try and make a Git tag for each "release" then you can go from that as a release version, instead of having to update on each individual commit.

Let me know, I can adjust things a bit if needed.

Edit: to elaborate, I can make a tarball, but it won't be so useful for distro packaging since this repo doesn't have a "build system" and wherever the files should go might depend on the platform.
