Request: publish source tar with generated manpage #190

Open tranzystorekk opened 1 year ago

tranzystorekk commented 1 year ago

A custom source tar would allow easier packaging, especially since the manpage is already generated for other release artifacts

What do you mean by "source tar"?

tranzystorekk commented 1 year ago

A source code archive, same as what github automatically creates on release (the Source code (tar.gz)), but with the generated manpage included.

Ah okay, yes. That sounds reasonable.

You can build it from source using

pandoc -s -f markdown -t man -o hexyl.1 doc/hexyl.1.md

but that adds a pandoc build dependency - I understand.
