Add FreeBSD release for extended version

[mildred]

Some hosting providers are using FreeBSD, and having an extended release of Hugo available for FreeBSD amd64 would be great. Is there anything preventing that?

Is there anything preventing that?

A fix for this would make it ... simpler ... https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser/issues/705 -- @caarlos0 Christmas wish ...

But even with that; the extended build requires the C tool chain of the target platform installed. Which is why I kind of closed my eyes and said "let's just do this" when I introduced LibSASS and CGO into the build chain. It is still worth it (SASS is really useful), but it makes stuff harder. Docker makes all of this doable, but I'm waiting for a fix to the above issue before I add more "extended builds" to the mix.

I'd love for an extended FreeBSD release!

[caarlos0]

multiple archives is already there, but other parts are still missing...

[bep]

@caarlos0 so something like this should work (I know the YAML is probably invalid ...)?

builds:
- binary: hugo
  id: hugo_extended
- binary: hugo
  id: hugo
archives:
  - binaries: ['hugo']
    name_template: 'hugo_{{.Version}}_{{.Os}}-{{.Arch}}'
  - binaries: ['hugo_extended']
    name_template: 'hugo_extended_{{.Version}}_{{.Os}}-{{.Arch}}'

[caarlos0]

yes, just instead of binaries its builds and you use the build.id

https://goreleaser.com/customization/#Archive

still need to finish the releasing parts (which archives to release where), as for now it releases all archives, ex: https://github.com/caarlos0/test/blob/master/.goreleaser.4.yml generates https://github.com/caarlos0/test/releases/tag/v5.6.0

Any progress on this issue? I would love an extended hugo binary for a freebsd machine.

You can install extended hugo from ports, the prebuilt package is fine:

pkg install gohugo

If you need it as a dependency, e.g. some specific version or a requirement in some bizarre wrapper (like this), you could need additional workarounds.

Any progress on this? This issue was opened in 2018... I can't use hugo unto there are FreeBSD releases for the extended version.

I tested this a few days ago. Works great: https://gohugo.io/installation/bsd/#freebsd

As of today it installs the extended flavor of Hugo v0.104.3.

[gfairchild]

Any update on when this is likely to happen?

[jmooring]

Can you do this instead?

sudo pkg install gohugo

[gfairchild]

Can you do this instead?

sudo pkg install gohugo

Unfortunately not. I use https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ for hosting my super simple website, which Hugo is perfect for, and this comes at the cost of not having root privileges. I just snag the latest release from here, and I've got some scripts that build and deploy everything using my local version of the Hugo binary.
