Description
We have been using Github's file upload under http://github.com/clojure for uploading releases
Pros:
- looked easy
- download tracking
- tool we are already using
Cons:
- unreliable
- fails to upload
- tested on multiple browsers with and without Flash
- even when it works seems to show up during upload
- presumably would fail the download in these cases
- claims to upload but has garbage file
- shows up in UI
- permission error when you try to get it
- sometimes causes browser to crash (not Github fault, but still...)
- has added two hours of dev time to the current release (so far)
- fails to upload
In order to get 1.3.0-alpha6 out the door (and end a multihour ordeal) I am pushing it to the files section at clojure.org.
Will take this up with GitHub if we continue to have problems.
