Caching targets that have no binary

[timbo24]

We have a few Carthage dependencies that we don't build, carthage checks out fully built frameworks. I'd like to still be able to upload the .version files for these to the cache and download them but in our CI we use the rome list to determine which dependencies to upload and since these don't have platforms rome list doesn't work for these.

Is there a way to have these uploaded even though they don't have platforms?

I'm not sure I understand what "they don't have a platform" means. Do you mean there is no binary produced from them?

[timbo24]

No binary is produced. But I want the version file to indicated that after carthage checkout the binary is available from the checkouts dir.

[tmspzz]

list only hits the binary because that's the important bit.

Also .version files are optional, you have to enable --cache-builds in carthage

That said, rome will still download or upload anything it finds.

My suggestion is filter out from the output of list the repos that don't produce binaries.

Yeah, if I just manually add them to the cache this works fine.
