Submodules are missing in release archives

Question

Submodules are missing in release archives

Opened this issue 9 years ago · 3 comments

I wanted to install mutlirust from the release builds but build.sh fails because rustup and rust-installer is missing in the archive.

Release versions that were build by github automatically (when pushing a new git tag) doesn't seem to support git submodules. But you can edit your latest release and add downloads manually. When you do a new release, please also upload the build/multirust-$version.tar.gz that is created by your build.sh, because this archive contains rustup and rust-installer.

You can automate this process using the github API if you like.

Thanks for reporting this. Man, those automated release tarballs are always problematic. I wish I could turn them off.
