Please publish beta releases

[jfrerich]

@aidenmitchell, once the release is made, you will be able to get the tar.gz for mattermost.

We don't necessarily have beta releases, but you can build the plugin into a tar.gz and upload it to Mattermost. You'll need to clone the repository and make deploy command. This will build the tar.gz from the branch you are currently on. If you need more documentation you can also view https://developers.mattermost.com/extend/plugins/overview/

Does that answer your questions?

@aidenmitchell ack; we've been stuck a little on approvals, but considering it's still an early pre-release we'll cut one ASAP now.

[aidenmitchell]

Ok, great. Is there a way I can build this into a tar.gz myself so that Mattermost will accept it?

[aidenmitchell]

Also, thanks for the quick response, that's great.

[aidenmitchell]

Yes, that's wonderful, thank you.

Update: I get an error when trying to run make deploy.
