Feature request: publish pre-built Android binaries as GitHub **Releases**

[alfonsoalongi]

Context

The repository already has CI workflows under .github/workflows/, notably:

• bpftools.yml – builds bpftools / bpftools-min for arm64 and x86_64
• jdwp.yml – builds the JDWP tracer
• black.yml – linter

bpftools.yml even uploads the resulting bpftools-<arch>.tar.gz via
actions/upload-artifact@v4.

That’s great 🎉 — but these artifacts are:

• ephemeral (default retention ≤ 90 days)
• hard to discover (buried under each workflow run)
• not version-pinned (no semantic tag or checksum)

---

Proposal

1. Tag-triggered release
   Extend the existing workflow(s) to run on push tags (e.g. v*).
2. Attach artifacts as Release assets
   Use softprops/action-gh-release or actions/create-release + upload-release-asset to upload:
   • bpftools-arm64.tar.gz
   • bpftools-x86_64.tar.gz
   • (optionally) bpftools-min-*, static bpftrace binaries, checksums

Thanks for your reply in advance.

Hello Team, I created a workflow based on your repository workflow to release the artifacts. If you want to have a base to implement the feature. https://github.com/alfonsoalongi/bpftools-builder/blob/main/.github/workflows/bpftools-release.yml

Thanks.
