Binary downloads
calebmer opened this issue · comments
One of this repository's proposed benefits as written in the readme: "Reflex has no dependencies. No need to install Ruby or anything like that." Yet the instillation reads:
$ go get github.com/cespare/reflexI don't want to install go to use this library. Could this dependency be removed with binary downloads?
The README also says
TODO: provide compiled downloads for linux/darwin amd64.
But I've never gotten around to it, mostly because I have no need for this. Do you have a suggested method? I've considered using Bintray.
GitHub releases are preferable as that's where I generally check first.
Ah, I forgot that GH releases can included binaries. Good idea.
@calebmer just uploaded some to my fork. compiled them with gox.
https://github.com/cescoferraro/reflex/releases/tag/v0.1.0
@cespare go get its not cacheble inside a Dockerfile there is a actual need for them on this repo
I would consider using https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser
It's quite awesome and integrates nicely into the CI workflow.
Here's a sample goreleaser config that would work well for this repo:
build:
main: .
binary: reflex
goos:
- darwin
- linux
archive:
replacements:
amd64: 64-bit
386: 32-bit
darwin: MacOS
linux: Linux
files:
- README.md
- LICENSE
You can install goreleaser on your system with brew install goreleaser/tap/goreleaser or a manual download from https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser/releases.
Once you do that, you can run the following workflow:
export GITHUB_TOKEN=`YOUR_TOKEN` # Get this at https://github.com/settings/tokens
git tag -a v1.2.3 -m "your release message"
git push origin --tags
goreleaser
There is also Travis Integration.
This would be very much appreciated by many users who don't have the full go toolkit installed. I'm sure @sagikazarmark would be happy to answer any questions, as am I.
I've opened a PR #80 that should totally address the concerns of this issue.
OK, releases have binaries attached to them now.
