prebuilt binaries? #91

Closed cboettig closed 8 months ago

cboettig commented 8 months ago

Thanks for providing this amazing extension, it works wonderfully and provides a very valuable set of features!

Apologies if this is a silly question, but is it possible to distribute this extension as a pre-built binary, like other extensions in duckdb? If so, is that on your road map at some point?

Hi -- thanks and glad you find it useful.

It's on my TODO list to provide a hosted version of the extension, hosted on e.g. S3 or R2 or something. The binaries are built in CI, I just haven't gotten around to getting them uploaded somewhere yet.

Unfortunately it will still not be possible to load the extension without running DuckDB with unsigned mode. This is because DuckDB enforces signature validation, but has no mechanism for third-party extensions like this one to get signed.

sounds great, thanks!

Re hosting, could the binaries be published as github release objects (or via github container registry, like homebrew does)? Just a thought, since I know S3 has direct costs.

Good point about the signature issue, I'll check in with duckdb team to see if a third-party signature mechanism is on the road map.

(just did a duckdb-h3 demo for my grad class today, went very well!)
