The cloud team met this week and we discussed this. We're happy to do
this, but there's one caveat: as far as we know, upstream won't provide
long term supported releases for this stack. They work in the
"everyone runs the newest" model. Probably not a big deal for
aws-c-common or aws-checksums. But aws-c-event-stream (transitively)
depends on s2n and aws-lc where security support is critical. So it's
probably not feasible to ship in a stable release.
Still, it'd be useful to provide packages so folks can start to
experiment - hopefully things will eventually settle down.
I'll start making sure these are ready to go, and I'll ping you when
they're ready. Would you mind uploading or sponsoring the initial
round? I'm nonuploading, so I can't create new binary packages.
Thanks,
Ross
