GitHub Releases?

Will you make the pre-compiled binaries available for GitHub releases?

I'd like to make this available on webinstall.dev.

Hi @coolaj86,

F3 is available on a number of package management tools. I haven't made binaries available because I only run Linux, and people have used F3 on a number of platforms to which I don't have access. What I've been doing is to tag the code when a significant number of changes have been made to the repository. Can't you compile F3 and make the binaries available for webinstall.dev?

Can't you compile F3 and make the binaries available

Core tenants of Webi are:

  • 1st party builds (not custom 3rd party modifications)
  • no sudo
  • no package manager bloat

I could help you set up GitHub Actions to run macOS builds (meaning I could make a PR to the repo that will do that) if you can point me to compile instructions for macOS.

I welcome a pull request to generate binaries for releases. Users have documented how to compile F3 on their platforms in the file README.rst.

Just keeping a note here for later:

There doesn't appear to be an official sanctioned version of argp-standalone, but there are a few patched versions. This one appears to come with no strings attached: https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/argp-standalone
