Re: Any help for upstream to create proper release tarballs on Github? (Was: Patch for idba to build with clang compiler)

[Yu PENG <ypeng@cs.hku.hk>]

Thanks for advice. I added the binary into the release. (https://github.com/loneknightpy/idba/releases/download/1.1.2/idba-1.1.2.tar.gz)

Thanks,

Yu Peng

github has the ability to upload tarballs/binary packages that
correspond to releases. So delete your tarballs from the git
repository, then generate your tarball as per normal (if using
autotools: make distcheck) and attach it to the relevant tag using the
github web interface.
