Self-contained WIT artifacts as directories #875
Description
One thing I think would be nice to have as part of the WASI release process would be an artifact that's just a wit directory with all of the WIT files contained within. This would enable using WITs without also requiring a dependency on wkg which I feel can be useful from a "lean tooling" perspective and also helps transition to a world where WITs are fully managed by a tool eventually. In the long run though I think there'll always be use cases for taking the WITs from here as-is in a simple-ish fashion (e.g. wkg-less) and integrating them into a project.

Are you thinking a tar.gz of each proposal, e.g.
wasi-http-0.2.9.tar.gz, or would it be more preferable to have them all likewit.tar.gz? Just a heads up, the release train has us releasing next Tuesday.alexcrichton commentedon Jan 29, 2026
I was thinking ideally a single
wit.tar.gzor something like that which is suitable to pass towasm-tools component witor similar. Effectively a canonical thing (ish) to curl-and-unpack and ready to go after things are aligned. No rush on this though, if it takes a moment to set up I think that's reasonable.ci: upload wit tar for releases
