Packaging and distribution

I noticed that this extension is not packaged and distributed on VS Code's marketplace and wanted to ask two questions.

  1. Are there any plans to set this up?
  2. Do you need/want help setting this up?

I'd be happy to contribute.

Cheers.

I wanted to set this up but was reluctant to give microsoft my birthdate, but I guess I could get past that now, also a bit concerned it would open up the floodgates and I would get a deluge of issues ...

I see your point.

Even if you choose not to publish your extension to VS Code's marketplace, we may do the following:

  1. Package the extension as a VSIX package, ready to be installed manually into VS Code. The VSIX could be distributed through GitHub releases.

  2. We could publish the extension on the Open VSX Registry.

Please let me know if and how you'd like to proceed.

yeah, that sounds like a good option 👍 at least starting with a github release

I created an issue to host the vscode extension on nixpkgs, they already package vim/emacs plugins
NixOS/nixpkgs#189095

I've updated the build to auto publish the phpactor.vsix extension file https://github.com/phpactor/vscode-phpactor/releases/latest

@nhedger what benefit is there to publishing it on the Open VSX registry? what editors use that (not sure why i'd need to sign an Eclipse agreement to register).

In the meantime I'm going to work on tagging a new release for Phpactor and potentially publish it on the marketplace.

VScodium and Gitpod uses I guess Open VSX
