@d-healey what form of distribution of my GPL3 virtual musical instrument is most suitable as a product not only for programmers but especially for musicians? vst3 ? Is it possible to distribute the product without the need for binaries? No relase ?. that I just download something from the master repository from codeberg and it works? 🤭

how can a musician play my sample based virtual instrument now? I have to create a release. So?
... that again while I google it. but theoretically now anyone can make a tagged release? please someone do it if it's not a big job

if I copy the files in \Binaries\Compiled\App and the .hr1 file and send it to email, will it work?

[d.healey]

@Robert-Puza For musicians you need to provide a VST3 plugin for each operating system (and an AU on MacOS).

MacOS is a bit tricky because you'll also need to codesign and notarize the plugin and this requires an Apple developer account which you need to pay for.

Only people with permission on your repo can do it - but you should do it because it's your project and you'll need to do it every time you make a new version.

Here's how mine look for Rhapsody - https://codeberg.org/LibreWave/Rhapsody/releases

What are you talking about?

[Robert Puza]

@d-healey that it's not me who should manage the git and hub theme in my creation, but a person for whom it's a normal routine.

[d.healey]

@Robert-Puza Definitely your job, if you want to be a developer you have to learn to do the things developers do. It's part of the adventure. Of course if you don't want to be a developer then you need to find a collaborator.

@d-healey is there a problem that everything is in master and not in mein Branch? I work with Sourcetree

[d.healey]

@Robert-Puza No there's no problem. The branch feature is used to help you work on multiple versions of your code at once without them interfering with each other, and then you can merge them all back into the master branch. But for a smaller project with a single developer you can just work on the master all the time and don't worry about branches.
