Publish binary releases

[mikedanese]

Preferably nightly and at every tag for mac osx and linux.

On debian/ubuntu I think having a ppa is an advantage, although pip install jsonnet works pretty well for the Python case. I don't know much about mac. Is homebrew sufficient?

[davidzchen]

For mac, I think homebrew is sufficient until somebody requests macports.

[mikedanese]

It looks easy to update: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/jsonnet.rb

Kubernetes distributes (mostly?) static binaries for various architecture {windows,darwin,linux}x{i386,x86_64} of kubectl from the github release page. https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases

I like static binary distribution because it works when all else fails.

Is a new release of jsonnet on its way? I'd love to be able to use named args and friends in some of our kube configs.

[sparkprime]

Alas I never got around to it before disappearing on paternity leave. I could do it from here though.

[huggsboson]

I'm happy to do the brew wrangling (what little there is, I'd just prefer to point it at a proper release/tag).

[sparkprime]

It is done!

[huggsboson]

Thank you!

I would appreciate a MacPorts release. :-)

[discordianfish]

I've create a small build repo which creates dynamically and statically linked binaries for jsonnet: https://github.com/latency-at/jsonnet-releases/releases

[sbarzowski]

@discordianfish That's cool! I've checked that the same script can be used to build Windows binaries (in context of the discussion in #380).

[discordianfish]

@sbarzowski happy to accept PRs for other platforms

[sbarzowski]

We have binary releases these days, for Linux and OS X. I'm going to close this. Many thanks to everyone who worked on this stuff!

[DocX]

Can we add 64 bit linux binaries please?

[sbarzowski]

@DocX The Linux binaries are 64 bit.
