You know, the code distribution can be different to the code you have in the repo (git archive != python setup.py sdist).
The uploads functionality wasn't perfect (I had to make the dist package, upload it), but it did work for me.
- derekp7 14y agoOne alternative for the uploads is to make an orphan branch similar to gh-pages, populate it with your tar.gz file contents, tag it, then delete the branch. It will show up like a normal tagged download without having extra messy branches in your repo.
