request for complete source archive through github releases
Check for existing issues
- [X] Completed
Describe the feature
providing a complete source archive would be very convenient for distributors and packagers, compared to having git as a middleman to initiate submodules i think there is a way to automate this with github workflows to archive and publish the complete sources on every release
If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature
No response
Isn't this what you're looking for?
No. the default github release does not include the submodules, so you cant build it, the archive is practically useless.
The archive is source-only and has no git artifacts, so you cant initialize the sub modules conveniently.
heres an example of something i want, this project provides the source archives with the sub modules and tells package maintainers to ignore the default github build
