Adds a GitHub workflow to generate zip files only of the Windows distribution

Open lstefano71 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

The zip file is named with a date in the name. Before zipping, the executable is renamed to a generic ride.exe so that in a system with a shortcut pointing to the file, no renames are needed to update to the latest version. This may not be what is desired and can be discussed.

This closes https://github.com/lstefano71/ride/issues/1 and it's a home made proposal to implement #453. @e9gille suggested we actually submitted our work as a PR for inclusion.

We'd like to have a think about this .. I'm not very keen on having some of the packaging done as a github action, and some under Jenkins. I think we'd rather do all the packaging in one place - Jenkins.
