Fair enough. So maybe you’re more interested in this discussion:

Creating Artifacts.toml for existing tarball

I’m trying to figure out how to create an Artifacts.toml to download some data that my package depends on. I’m creating a setup_artifacts.jl script to create it. Here’s what I have so far: using Pkg.Artifacts using Pkg.GitTools using Tar toml = joinpath(@__DIR__, "Artifacts.toml") ir_url = "https://tidmarsh.media.mit.edu/~sfr/tidmarsh_irs.tar.gz" ir_hash = create_artifact() do artifact_dir tarball = download(ir_url) try global tarball_hash = bytes2hex(GitTools.blob_hash(tarba…

Examples of packages using Artifacts outside of BinaryBuilder include:

• Electron (Artifacts.toml)
• ObjectDetector.jl (Artifacts.toml, generate_artifacts.jl)
• FIGlet.jl (Artifacts.toml)
