Publish beta1 to crates.io

[baszalmstra]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For Mun, we would really like to make another release based on the latest inkwell version. However, we would really like to use some of the features that have recently landed.

• Add feature to disable linking to libffi #208
• LLVM version agnostic release: Publish inkwell to crates.io #154

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if you could cut another (release candidate) release.

Describe possible drawbacks to your solution
I understand that this is not ideal but it looks like v0.1.0 is still quite far away.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative would be to fork the repository and publish that ourselves but that seems very far from ideal. I really don't want to do that.

Sure, that can be done. But it wouldn't be a release candidate since it's not ready for release. Also, would like to get #224 merged before doing so

[baszalmstra]

Thats great! Thanks!

[baszalmstra]

Hey @TheDan64! Do you have an indication on when you might publish the beta?

[TheDan64]

Trying to get #221 fixed and merged first since it's really close to being done. Hopefully this weekend or next. Can't give an exact date but relatively soon

[TheDan64]

Didn't get to fixing the aforementioned PR unfortunately but I've gone ahead and published a new version for you: 0.1.0-beta.1

[baszalmstra]

Thanks for publishing, I appreciate it a lot!

I've run into a small issue though, the release contains a file called nul (see https://docs.rs/crate/inkwell/0.1.0-beta.1/source/nul). This appears to be a reserved filename on windows which causes cargo to fail to download the release on windows:

Caused by:
  unable to get packages from source

Caused by:
  The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (os error 123)

Any idea what that file is?

[TheDan64]

No clue. Ugh. Gonna try and re-publish

[TheDan64]

0.1.0-beta.2 published. Seems to be free of that artifact

[baszalmstra]

Thanks! That did fix it. :)

[seanyoung]

I'd like to suggest that 0.1.0-beta.1 is yanked

[TheDan64]

Good idea. Done.
