add extra files to the release files

[ManuelSopenaBallesteros]

Dear cargo dist community,

I am using cargo dist to create my github workflow and generate my releases (eg https://github.com/eth-cscs/manta/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml), my app is a clap cli and I have a build script that generates shell autocomplete files (https://github.com/eth-cscs/manta/tree/main/autocomplete_shell_scripts).

My goal is to be able to include the autocomplete files in the release packages. Is this something feasible?

thank you

You can use the include setting to include additional files in the archives. The problem is that right now it's inconsistent which installers will actually extract it.
