Offer prebuilt release binaries about cargo-bloat HOT 9 CLOSED

for environments where a cargo install would be too slow or expensive?

cargo-bloat takes few seconds to build. That's one of the core features.

Supporting prebuild binaries is too troublesome. I prefer not to.

Also, I'm not sure why do you need cargo-bloat on CI.

It depends on the system, it can take upwards of a minute.

Honestly I've found them to be not troublesome at all, but that's that's totally fine 👍. Even without the prebuilt binaries it may be worth looking at Github actions instead of Travis for the CI? Stuff like code annotations are really powerful, and clippy has pointed out a few changes that could be done.

Also, I'm not sure why do you need cargo-bloat on CI.

I'm working on a experimental personal project to use cargo bloat to track binary sizes in projects over time, and give feedback on changes within a merge request.

I'll leave this issue and the PR open, please close them if you don't see any value in them. Also, thanks for this awesome tool.

I'm not familiar with GitHub actions and I don't have enough time to learn them right now, so maybe later. For now, you can host your own builds if build time is critical. If more people find it useful then I will reconsider this.

I just wanted to let you know that I finally got around to releasing the github-action tool based on cargo-bloat: https://github.com/orf/cargo-bloat-action

Thanks for your work on this project 🙏. I ended up installing acargo-bloat with --development to speed up installs, but even then it can take upwards of a minute. I guess that's not too bad, but I'm more than happy to help if you reconsider github-actions in the future.

Hi! Yes, I saw your project. Nice work. I don't use github actions, though.

As for this issue in particular, can we simply publish a prebuilt 64bit version with musl just for linux? Will it be enough?

from cargo-bloat.

Sure, that would be enough, if you're willing to do that. Honestly though, it's fine for now. Maybe with the next release?

from cargo-bloat.

I can attach a binary to the latest release on github. I don't need to update anything.

from cargo-bloat.

Ok, that would be fantastic. I can update the workflow to use that pretty easily.

from cargo-bloat.

Done.

PS: it takes just 3sec on my machine... The CI hardware must be really slow.
