Add support for downloading prebuilt binaries of buck via jitpack at any sha

Closed Administrator requested to merge github/fork/kageiit/jitpack_support into master

Created by: kageiit

  • Uses Jitpack to build buck pex and serve them on demand. The very first time a version of buck is requested, it is built via jitpack. Every subsequent request will just serve the built artifact directly.
  • This enables anyone to just fetch https://jitpack.io/com/github/facebook/buck/<sha>/buck-<sha>.pex to download a prebuilt buck pex at any sha.
  • Once this merges, this functionality will be available for any forks of buck as well, so one can fetch for example https://jitpack.io/com/github/kageiit/buck/f0655d65907df1262b191339a51aa94a587f9f3c/buck-f0655d65907df1262b191339a51aa94a587f9f3c.pex

  • This will allow users of okbuck to not have to rely on checking out the entire buck repo and build it using ant before being able to use buck
