crates.io releases - Githubissues

sam0x17 commented 1 week ago

If we start releasing the subtensor workspace to crates.io it would dramatically simplify the user experience of running a node (could even get to cargo install subtensor level potentially), but I see this as a side-mission / goal, the real objective here would be getting rust docs released to docs.rs/lib.rs/etc so when people google subtensor-related things they actually come up with up-to-date docs.

AC:

[ ] consolidate workspace so it is crates.io-friendly, ensure globally unique crate names, etc
[ ] set up a secure crates.io account we can use for releases, get a key for pushing to it added to CI
[ ] publish to crates.io (requires a github action / script especially since crates need to be published in a very particular order)
[ ] ability to publish to crates.io automatically as part of gh action release process
[x] ~~ability to spin up a new node via cargo install? or something we don't care about?~~

Running a node is already easy via docker-compose and crates.io won't make it any easier for ordinary user.

I don't understand what benefit it would give to non-developers who need to have devenv set up already.
