- figmert 2 days agoBut why? Mise does this and more. It can install binaries from github, gitlab, uv, npm, and many more.
- ramon156 2 days agoIf you're going to let an LLM write docs, at least let them write to the target of the dev. this README seems more internal, or more like a pitch, i suppose. It's weird.
- pseufaux 2 days agoBut isn't this built into uv already? Just point the sources table to GitHub.

- mr_mitm 2 days agoAFAIK uv installs python packages only. This fetches and runs binaries from Github.
- broknbottle 1 day agoI’m this is not true, uv + wheels you can install binaries
- pseufaux 2 days agoAh. Missed that. Thank you
- bavarianbob 2 days agoThis is pretty cool, I'm doing something similar for binaries I use on my computer - https://github.com/chasen-bettinger/conf/blob/main/binaries....
- droelf 2 days agoFor pixi we also created a octoconda & a "github-releases" channel: https://prefix.dev/blog/octoconda-repackage-github-binary-re...
- whinvik 2 days agoThis is pretty neat.
I am more used to uv than pixi or mise so it would be an easier addition to my workflow.
However I do think it would probably be nicer if this kind of approach used conda packages as a source of truth. So kind of like pixi but without pixi!

- jpollock 2 days agoIsn't this the problem bazel's supposed to solve?
- jitl 2 days agothere are a few projects not using bazel
Not sure if I'm misunderstanding the private binaries concept - what advantage does gzipping and encrypting the binary and putting it in an unlisted gist have over just storing a release in a private git repo only I can access with my PAT or key? Seems needlessly complicated.
