Archive binaries into tar.gz and zip for windows

[ShiranAvidov]

Currently I have a build with goos: darwin, linux and windows. All binaries will be archived into tar.gz files (default). I want to archive all windows binaries into tar.gz and zip files. I tried to use format_overrides with format zip, but only zip files were created. How can I do that without creating another build for windows zip format?

unfortunately there's no obvious way of doing this right now...

You could add another archive item with zip as format, but it would apply to all platforms, not only windows.

Format overrides don't work because, as the name implies, they override the pre-defined format.

What you could do is something like this:

builds:
- id: windows-only
  goos: [windows]
  # etc...
- id: default 
  goos: [linux, darwin]
  # etc...

archives:
- id: windows-only
  builds: [windows-only]
  format: zip 
  # etc...
- id: default 
  builds: [default, windows-only]
  format: tar.gz
  # etc...

This would generate .tar.gz archive for all three platforms, plus zip archives for windows.
