[Koha-devel] Anybody still using tarballs?

[Victor Grousset/tuxayo]

Hi :)

To still provide tarballs without release process steps to maintain and 
perform every time there is still this:
https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/tags
No files for signature though. Though, where can people find the rmaint 
public keys anyway? So I'm not sure anyone uses this to get Koha.

Hum, after trying, the forge is a bit weird about the tarball feature, 
it seems the link doesn't work. But after like 30 sec of processing it 
works. (might need to click again) And subsequent clicks work directly.

Direct link still work though: 
https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/archive/v23.05.05.tar.gz

Oh no when using the direct link the 1st time, it ends up in a 500 error 
and next try it works. (timeout?)

So having the release process get the tarball URL to trigger the 
generation would work. Still a bit wack but could be an alternative to 
keep tarballs without much work. (same behavior on Forgejo, tested on 
codeberg.org but it's likely with a fast enough server the request 
doesn't timeout or something)

Cheers,
