Support JitPack builds

I would appreciate it if your mod could be built and downloaded from jitpack.io
I am currently using CurseMaven for fetching dependencies.
I (and potentially others), would like to be able to use JitPack.
I may have responded harshly, so for further clarification, this is my reasoning:
- I would have to spend the time to determine why the builds are failing with Jitpack and potentially redesign my build process, modify my build scripts, and / or re-setup my development environment. I would rather spend my modding time working on the mods instead.
- All tagged releases from the
master
branch are built same-day and uploaded to CurseForge. This means that the latest code available here will always be publicly available via CurseForge. If the code is a couple of commits ahead, it's usually due to document changes which are also auto-built immediately and updated on readthedocs. - CurseForge and FTB's CDN are the only two distribution sources that I have officially authorized to distribute my mods. I don't want to add another right now.
When it comes to modding, I usually use the following metrics to gauge whether or not I'm going to do work -- in no particular order:
- Is it a bug?
- Am I going to use it?
- Am I going to get joy from the process or result?
- Am I getting paid?
- Did I say I was going to do it?
- Is it going to benefit a large number of people?
I try not to be a complete jerk, however, and to that end, I'd be happy to hear any reasonable arguments you have that support the request. :)
