Linux builds with itch.io butler

#1 Post by Arowana »

Hey all, I started using the "Upload to itch.io" button in the launcher to do updates with the itch butler. Whenever I update the builds though, it seems like the Linux build always takes a long time and I never get any savings for it.

I highlighted the savings in the screenshot below. As you can see, there are "no savings" for the Linux build, but savings over 97% for the Mac and Windows builds. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how it works, but I'd expect the savings to be similar for all three builds.

I also noticed that I get a "You're pushing a single file" warning for the Linux build, but not for the other two. The message recommends using a "portable build" instead, but I thought they're all portable builds... :? Has anyone else done it before and gotten a similar result?
