allow one-line install of the latest version

[hn8]

• remove version from filename and rename arm64 to aarch64 (uname -m) for one-line install
• version-pinned urls are still avaiable as https://github.com/facebook/dotslash/releases/download/v0.3.0/dotslash-macos.tar.gz
• maximize gzip compression level

Process

In order for us to review and merge your suggested changes, please sign at https://code.facebook.com/cla. If you are contributing on behalf of someone else (eg your employer), the individual CLA may not be sufficient and your employer may need to sign the corporate CLA.

Once the CLA is signed, our tooling will perform checks and validations. Afterwards, the pull request will be tagged with CLA signed. The tagging process may take up to 1 hour after signing. Please give it that time before contacting us about it.

Note that the way we solve this in Sapling is that the website uses gh to consult the repo to see what the latest release is and generates the one-line installation accordingly so we can still keep the version number in the file name:

https://sapling-scm.com/docs/introduction/installation

I think it's good to keep it so my ~/Downloads folder isn't full of dotslash (1).tar.gz, dotslash (2).tar.gz, etc.

I think it's good to keep it so my ~/Downloads folder isn't full of dotslash (1).tar.gz, dotslash (2).tar.gz, etc.

It is one-line install with pipe, so no file would show up in ~/Downloads.

I had to revert this as it breaks the install-dotslash action. We'll have to revisit this after I clean up

@bolinfest, @hn8: as an FYI, I'm going to try and re-enable this. Step one is in #64 where we will upload both versioned and non-versioned artifacts. I'll then fix the action to be a bit smarter (which is why this was reverted initially). At some point in the future, we'll only have non-versioned artifacts.

The reason why I'm doing this is that we're trying to get a working Dev Container feature (currently checked in, but not documented yet), and with the version number in the artifact, we run the risk of getting rate-limited by GitHub when trying to install the feature.

At some point in the future, we'll only have non-versioned artifacts.

Please don't remove the versioned artifacts. Some of us want to be able to consistently install a specific version of dotslash (and not just "latest"; every piece of software has occasional regressions) and versioned artifacts make that much easier.

[sdwilsh]

We'll still have versions and releases. The binary artifacts that we upload to each release just won't have the version number present in the file name, as it makes it quite difficult to install the latest version with a one-liner for those who want to.

[sdwilsh]

If you want to track when the assets with version numbers in their name go away, you can subscribe to #68. No promises when we get to it, but that will have the status.
