Subject: Re: [pcre-dev] PCRE infrastructure is moving
FWIW I've seen all sorts of files attached as "assets" for a release; if
there's an allowlist of formats, it must be quite permissive. We do release
appimages, yaml, and many other formats. About signatures, I've seen .asc
files used around (probably generated via gpg --armor --detach-sign
file.tar.gz).

Thanks for that information. I created new signatures for the .gz and .zip
tarballs using --armor (which I had not done before), and then I gzipped
the .asc files. GitHub was happy to load those, so they are now listed with
the 10.37 release. I did the upload from the web interface - when selecting
the files it gave a list of supported file types, and .asc is not among
them. It would be nice to keep the .bz2 tarballs as well, but I don't
really mind abandoning that offering.

Regards,
Philip
