release a binary on github

[m040601]

This is such a great addon to the (great) mdbook.
Thank you for your work.
Would it be possible to release it as a binary ? At least compiled for x86_64.
It would make it much easier to release this as a precompiled package for arch linux and other distros. It would make much easier for people who dont have the entire rust distribution to quickly try it out.

See issue #34 and in particular the point "Publish pre-compiled binaries for Windows/Linux/Mac using GitHub Releases"

I have a plan to do that, but I don't have an ETA.

@Michael-F-Bryan
It seems I need your help to properly configure (security settings??) for GH release action script (yaml).
I was able to create binary release artifacts in my own forked repo using 'Release yaml' action.

As I see there is no way to do the same in root repo. Probably it misses some security settings? Can you look and try to tweak them ? Here are some screens attached.

I don't see the 'release' event in current repo, so probably it's not handled now.

There is one more setting I checked in my fork repo.

I tried to run Release in current repo, but release.yaml was not handled (as that happens in mu repo).

@Michael-F-Bryan I'm still looking for your assistance please.

maybe this can be alternative method, https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact , I could make a PR.

maybe this can be alternative method,

There is a lack of GH security permissions, not a method.
I suppose @Michael-F-Bryan will not grant them because such permissions are related to his own repos.

@blandger, I can transfer the repo to you if you want. That should unlock a lot of things for you.

[blandger]

@Michael-F-Bryan that would be good, pls

[blandger]

@Michael-F-Bryan Is that a problem to transfer repo ownership? As far a I know repo can't be transfered if it's not 'organization's' repo. Correct ?

I have another request for you. I removed AppVeyor build (yaml file) and switched to GH CI/CD. As I can see there is a AppVeyor build still exist somethere. Probably that can be some sort of webhook in repo Settings. Can you check and remove that if it exists?
Look at somewhere in repo Settings → Webhooks.
Or some setting can be in repo Settings → Branches → Branch protection rules - ( Status checks that are required )
