Rana binary

[DesobedienteTecnologico]

Hi @grunch .

I'm wondering if there is any possibility to have the binary of Rana on the releases.

I would like to have the possibility to put Rana in DTails using only final official binaries.
Due the nature of the remaster process, the system to be modified will be never connected to internet.
(It can be connected to internet, but I don't really would like to put the modified OS online in the build process for security reasons)

Thanks for your time and for giving Rana 🐸 to us.
Regards!

Yes of course, I can do it, if you have any suggestion on how to generate automatically those binaries on different architecture just let me know and save me a lot of time researching 😀

Sure! :)

I saw a project that uses Rust and they ship a binary.
Looks like [[bin]] under Cargo.toml with some other configurations does the trick:

Also those seems to be interesting information to reach the goal (I'm actually not that familiar with Rust):

Thanks I'll be working on it

Great thanks! :)

JFYI: https://github.com/cross-rs/cross
I just saw that project which is maintain by Rust developers as far I have read. You can do cross compilation, that will allow us to use Rana 🐸 out of the box using in Termux for example in our Android devices: Sparrow in Android - Tutorial I made just for reference to Termux + Proot

Also depending on the final arch, people can use it on Raspberry Pi to quite easily.
Thanks for your time with this! :)
