Standardise assets delivery #309

Closed orbsmiv closed 3 years ago

orbsmiv commented 3 years ago

Firstly, really loving this project!

This is more of a request than an issue per se (and apologies if it's previously been asked) but would it be possible to make the assets (i.e. compiled binaries) available as release assets, rather than within the repository itself? It is unusual to include compiled materials in the repository as they're essentially ephemeral but making them available as release assets pins them to a specific version (which is always good!) but also allows other applications that use the Github API (e.g. https://github.com/autopkg/autopkg/wiki/Processor-GitHubReleasesInfoProvider) to access them in a standardised fashion.

(An example of release assets in action can be seen here: https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/releases)

(Depending on the compilation process you might also be able to leverage Github Actions to automatically build and attach the assets each time you define a release.)

I know... you'right I'm just lazy with releases. At least I just tag version 0.2.30.0 ad added the binaries. I'll see if I can automate something with actions, I've just never looked into it.

Many thanks – the binaries zip file asset is a great help!
