I did not figure out how we are intended to generate a sha for the extension

Thanks for the PR, Giuseppe! We will attend to it shortly.

I tried to build the extension locally, and compressed a sample mcap file with cloudini 0.6 that Davide just released, but I'm getting these errors:

Have you experienced these on your end, too?

I had another go at this, and in my bagfile for this extension I get this error:

I build this again from cloudini repository directly and the issue is not there:

@grizzi since you mentioned you'd like to provide this extension as-is and not support it, would you be OK if we serve this directly from cloudini repository if Davide agrees?

[grizzi]

yes, totally! The initial POC has been moved to the upstream cloudini repository, where it has been further improved. I will bot develop on our repo anymore. I will be able to go back to this in 3/4 weeks, otherwise you are welcome to contribute 😃
