Build files on build/ folder

[ellisonleao]

Hey guys, i was wondering why we don't have the build files on the build/ folder. I am asking this because i've added the melonJS project on jsDelivr and they now have an auto-update feature who checks for updates on the build files from the repo. Perhaps we could add the stable melon.js and melon.min.js versions on the build/ folder so we can use this feature. What do you guys think?

Nice 👍

Actually I do not want to commit build files directly to the repo. I would rather take an approach similar to what jQuery does. See #508 for details.

Hey @parasyte, that's a nice approach. I understand that we need a better release strategy but i think this issue is only to give us the opportunity to use this fantastic CDN on our projects. I think by having many options and not just a npm package or a bower package can increase the facility of rapid development and prototyping.

From my perspective we can create a script that:

• Tag the new version on the repo and:
  • Creates a npm package
  • Creates a bower package
  • add the minified version on the build/ folder

@ellisonleao the release strategy will put a zip file on github, and a commit id that contains the fully built (and minimized) js files. But those files won't be committed to the master or dev branches. You should still be able to use the cdn if it allows picking specific commit ids.

@parasyte Should this one be closed?

[parasyte]

I guess so. It seems #508 will implement the feature "good enough"
