Releases

[langston-barrett]

The CHANGELOG lists several versions, but there are no releases on Github nor tags in Git. These are good ways to release binaries to users.

Ultimately, such binaries and source tarballs should be built in Travis. That might be a good feature request to haskell-ci.

On this subject, herms is currently only available via stack or cabal, but if it had releases it could be added to nixpkgs (I could do this).

Binaries would be hugely appreciated. You mention Travis, but would you be willing to use github pipelines? Would it be the shortest path?

@xxxserxxx This issue was created before Github Actions existed 😄 I'd be happy to use any solution, and contributions are welcome!

Great! I can submit a pull request that builds herms. It's been over a decade since I used GHC in any real capacity, so I may send it to you short of static compilation, and if you want to cross-compile to other platforms we may need to discuss that due to my limitations, but I can certainly get things rolling.

Okay, now that we have a Github Action to build release artifacts, I just need to make and push a tag (and update the changelog, a lot has happened...).

Release v2.0(.1) is out! Thanks @xxxserxxx. A good follow-up would be to upload the new version to Hackage.
