Binary builds for each release? #749

Open sfackler opened 2 years ago

sfackler commented 2 years ago

I'm looking to use cargo-edit in some internal automation tooling to bump versions, cut releases, etc. For that kind of workflow, a cargo install is a bit more awkward than it is when installing a tool for personal use. Ideally, we'd just be able to pull down a tarball with precompiled x86_64-unknown-linux-musl binaries.

Do you have any interest in supporting that? I can look into making the GHA changes if so!

cargo-quickinstall and cargo-binstall CLIs offer installing prebuilt cargo-edit binaries from the QuickInstall package distribution.

Would be nice to be able to do gh release download -R killercup/cargo-edit -p x86_64-unknown-linux https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_release_download to get the compiled binary.

I think https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit/blob/master/.github/workflows/post-release.yml needs an update. actions/create-release isn't maintained anymore :?. https://github.com/softprops/action-gh-release looks like a good replacement
