ms-python-release.vsix missing in latest release

[daveleroy]

Previous releases included the packaged extension as an asset on the release is this not going to be the case moving forward or was this a mistake?

Our releases are now automated (used to be a manual process), while attaching to the release here on GitHub was always manual. Since you can always download the exact same VSIX from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python we decided to remove this manual step from our release process to simplify things for us a bit.

Unfortunately for our use case we cannot use those files since they will be used outside of Visual Studio Products and Services which is prohibited by the terms of use for the Microsoft Visual Studio Marketplace.

The building of the .vsix file is using vsce package and the build pipeline config is public, so you can do your own build w/o much issue if you wanted to set that up on your own.

Hi @brettcannon Do you know how to manually build the package? When i run vsce package I got these error: #19587 Do you know any runbook or readme for this question?
