[FR] Attach binaries to github releases #208

Open JuniorJPDJ opened 3 years ago

JuniorJPDJ commented 3 years ago

Would be cool to attach binaries to releases on github ;)

JuniorJPDJ commented 3 years ago

Bump! Even uploading binaries you already hold on your page is OK for me.

rmyorston commented 3 years ago

Apart from being cool, why do you want to have binaries on GitHub?

JuniorJPDJ commented 3 years ago
  1. Storage and transfer doesn't cost you anything.
  2. Github has some guaranteed availability and your page says that:

    frippery.org isn't part of your infrastructure and comes with no Service Level Agreement.

  3. It's more common and integrated way to host release builds.
  4. It provides common way to download source and binary using scripts in archival purposes.

I want to script downloading latest version and I'm more convinced about availability and that path and other things will not change on github than on your own page.

I also think that it's a good idea to keep releases on GitHub.
