magik 0.2.7 released https://github.com/elect86/magik
it's a Gradle plugin to publish on and use a Github repository as a maven repository

[elect]

it should work also with Groovy buildscripts now, but I'd like to get some feedbacks

[Dominaezzz]

Oooh, that's pretty cool.

[ephemient]

rather than commit binaries to git, have you considered building a proxy which translates to binaries attached to GitHub releases or filled served directly from ghcr (like homebrew does)?

[elect]

if one doesn't publish fat jar, the binaries remain relatively small.
I did thought shortly about that, but I was looking for a truly flexible, free and without authentication to consume maven repository

[elect]

also, I don't have idea how to make it up for the missing maven config files

[elect]

thinking about it, it might be doable if a user uploads to the release all the files one would normally publish

[Pablichjenkov]

Sounds amaizing

@ephemient one problem was (and is) that the url is not something you can programmatically figure it out easily, ex: https://github-registry-files.githubusercontent.com/265301594/bd659e80-85ae-11ec-9c84-92c4aaabcc58[…]esponse-content-type=application%2Foctet-stream on
https://github.com/jcansdale-test/gradle-java-publish/packages/245399
with github you can easily access everyfile through the raw url counterpart..

The i in "GitHub" should be lowercase in the two tagline.

Cool stuff BTW

[elect]

ok, so this is on you, @ephemient
What you said made me thinking again and I came out with a solution/compromise for Github Packages. With a credentials file in the root project, now Magik can let clients automatically fetch packages without the hassle to authenticate themselves manually
The first option remains still better, imho

[louiscad]

Still in the tagline: M~A~ven & Git~h~ub -> a & H

[elect]

it's where the magik comes from

[louiscad]

Oh! My suggestion: Maven Artifacts on GitHub for Kotlin. I think it'd be more noticeable.

[elect]

deal

[elect]

(but I still need the i) 🙂

[louiscad]

International

[louiscad]

Incredible

[elect]

done, but the upper H would ruin everything 😛
