ci: attach a prebuilt x86_64 binary to each release - #75
Merged
Conversation
Add .github/workflows/release.yml: on a published release (what scripts/release.sh publish creates) it builds oans on Ubuntu 22.04 — an intentionally low glibc floor so the binary runs on older distros too — strips it, and attaches oans-X.Y.Z-linux-x86_64.tar.gz (+ .sha256) to the release. The tarball bundles the man page, zsh completion, README, LICENSE and an INSTALL.txt listing the five runtime libraries (glib/sqlite/blkid/mount/uuid) plus the exact ldd output. workflow_dispatch with a tag input backfills assets for an existing release (e.g. v1.2.0). Also point the README Quick start at the prebuilt binary and update the CLAUDE.md release note (was "Releases attach no build artifacts"). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

.github/workflows/release.ymlso every release automatically gets a downloadable prebuilt binary — the top install-friction item before launch.How it works

To backfill v1.2.0 after merge
Actions → Release binaries → Run workflow → tag
v1.2.0.Note: a fully static binary isn't practical (glib pulls in pcre2/z/ffi/…), so this is a dynamic build against ubiquitous libraries — the pragmatic, reliable choice.
