The build system is CI/CD that is supposed to upload the binaries
automatically, but as I understandt, there is no such thing. Otherwise

The config needs to be regenerated for each new release, and it is
hard to memorize what was selected, but yes, it looks like that's
just what everybody is doing.

With GitLab CI/CD there would be no problem automating binary
releases. I don't think it is esoteric nowadays.
