Sharp: Switch pre-compiled libvips+dependencies binaries from Bintray to Github releases

[lovell]

Bintray no longer provides a reliable enough service for people to depend upon, plus we're starting to breach the 1TB/month limit.

See #841

Thanks @lovell for sharp!

I wanted to use the prebuild binaries for arm7 (as the build time is pretty long on those machines) but i found that npm just compile the binaries anyway.

so prebuild binaries are currently not working and will be fixed when this issue has been closed?

[lovell]

@neophob This task relates to moving the hosting provider for the existing prebuilt libvips and its dependencies, which includes ARMv7.

See #186 for the possible future enhancement to provide a prebuilt sharp.node for multiple platforms.

[lovell]

The packaging scripts and hosted binaries for libvips and its dependencies have moved to https://github.com/lovell/sharp-libvips/ and will be used from v0.19.0 onwards.

[lovell]

I've contacted Bintray customer support about the rate-limiting that's currently being applied.

[oliviertassinari]

I have been facing the same issue today. Have you considered using GitHub releases for hosting the binary?

[lovell]

@oliviertassinari Yes, hence the title of the issue you commented on ;)

For reference: Limit has been reached on 29 Sept https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/964 and is causing a lot of trouble

Same problem here. I'm unable get my Node project working because yarn fails on Bintray's error.
+1 for Github releases.

This is frustrating as hell lol I thought the problem was on my end, turns out it's a 404 bintray error on npm install sharp --save --verbose haha.

@lovell sir, +1 for this.

Edit: Currently trying manual installation of libvips from https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips/wiki/Build-for-Ubuntu , will update if it turns out well.

Edit: ^that is outdated, sharp requires 8.5.x and up so yea no go.

Edit: I went the docker route instead, https://github.com/TailorBrands/docker-libvips cheers.

[lovell]

v0.19.0 now available.

[pronebird]

I have the same issue as @clusteratlas . i can't run on heroku anymore. The latest prebuilt libvips i see is 8.5.x
