Are there any plans for adding binary release? about dua-cli

[Byron]

Anyhow, I just added releases, the MUSL one should work for most linux distributions out there.

Thanks for the kudos, it's always nice to hear that a tool scratching ones itch is useful to others as well!

I totally understand your issue and would be happy to host a binary built on your linux system on Github, and I would throw in the binary for OSX. This would fix the issue immediately and for the time being.

Once there is an update to this crate, I may consider automating it.
What do you think?

Hi @Byron. Awesome tool!

I was wondering if you could provide pre-compiled binaries in the releases in GitHub. This would make dua's utilization as simple as downloading a file and running it, no rust tools and compiling time necessary.

I am not familiar with rust programming automation and deploy tools, but I can see that some Rust projects do that (not sure how):

• rg: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases
• bat: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/releases
• xsv: https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv/releases
• fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf-bin/releases (exclusive branch only for binary releases)

Thank you very much!

@Byron Great! Looking forward to your updates.

[Byron]

@wfxr That's great! What I tried to say is: Which linux distribution do you run dua on? I think I should be able to compile a version myself and upload it to releases manually.

@Byron Sorry for the late reply. The MUSL version works for me. Thank you!

[Byron]

Thanks for the request :) - just yesterday I created a Rust github action for the very first time. Thus far I dodged it as I felt there were other priorities, but now I realise why people embrace GitHub actions.

So I will use this ticket to track progress, and since I probably 'just' have to do some copy-paste, it should be available soonish.

From now on, there will be binaries for every release.
The latest one just doubles the dua interactive performance for me, in case you want to have a look.
