Have automated builds using github releases

[hsmade]

It would be nice if we could have automated builds for the firmware that get uploaded to the github releases page.

https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/releases

Rudy builds every hour, if there are new commits. What I am proposing different because:

• it will build directly after the tag/commit (to be decided)
• it will deliver the artifact (the bin file(s)) to the github releases page, so it's all on the same place. https://github.com/travisgoodspeed/md380tools/releases

Can github releases be precompiled, or are they only the source code of tagged releases?

[travisgoodspeed]

Issue #290 was caused by PD0ZRY's sorting of firmware versions, which put S13.020 ahead of the others even though it won't boot on most radios.

We really need a properly organized download page to prevent future confusion.

here is an example: https://github.com/roelandjansen/md380tools/releases

Yes, releases can contain binaries, that is their purpose actually. What I do on my own pipelines is tag my master with a version number (https://semver.org) and publish that.

"We really need a properly organized download page to prevent future confusion."

This is exactly the reason why I proposed this, actually :)

Okay, we'll enable these builds and start scheduling toward a release candidate.

We have a working scenario where jenkins builds direct after I push and the release is then on my page. It's a merge of aeickho, hsmade, sijskes and travis. For hsmade and sijskes things get cherry picked sometimes or specific branches picked instead of master.

Nothing new as of yet?

I assume fw build 3FFA38F is last one.

[roelandjansen]

the last builds are integrated at

https://github.com/roelandjansen/md380tools/releases

and the last stable at this moment is

https://github.com/roelandjansen/md380tools/releases/tag/e762fc9

There is internalwork going on at this moment and not published yet.

What is being done with travisgoodspeed/md380tools/releases?

No tags/builds been setup yet. Only Roelandjansens commits are built to master on his github with hourly pre/latest releases

[roelandjansen]

Correct. The ci/cd onlt runs on that one
