Provide a release tarball #16

Closed fcambus closed 4 years ago

It would be nice if you would consider adding proper source release tarballs, as GitHub auto-generated tarballs are not immutable. This is an issue [1] for operating systems creating packages for luautf8. Thanks in advance.

This is not necessary. Yes there used to be issues with git archive not being stable, but both the Git project and GitHub worked pretty hard to address this and for projects that have no other need for a true source release (i.e. generated sources), the output is stable enough for release.
