Release asset `revad_v3.5.0_linux_amd64` seems broken

[uellue]

The README states

"Installation Head to the Releases to get the latest available release."

There one finds a changelog and files to download without instructions what to do with them. I assumed the files were executables and associated checksums.

How to reproduce

wget https://github.com/cs3org/reva/releases/download/v3.5.0/revad_v3.5.0_linux_amd64
chmod a+x ./revad_v3.5.0_linux_amd64
./revad_v3.5.0_linux_amd64

What happens

(base) weber@iff007:~/Downloads$ ./revad_v3.5.0_linux_amd64
./revad_v3.5.0_linux_amd64: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./revad_v3.5.0_linux_amd64: line 1: `!<arch>'

Looking at the file, it is an ar archive with two files that have cryptic names.

What should happen

I'd expect that executing this file runs revad.

That only leaves compiling from source with #4642 unresolved.

Hi @uellue ,

it seems like the pipeline that generates the binaries attached to a release is broken. Internally we use a different release process (because we also add our own plugins). If you can compile from source, make revad should do the trick (this requires Go 1.25).

In the meantime I'll take a look at what the pipeline is doing wrong and I'll keep you updated!

The tool generating the binaries was fixed in the master branch, the next release (which is coming up in the next couple of weeks) will have the correct artifacts.
