markdownMP and markdown downloads are empty

[DenHerrRing]

All downloads are empty after unzipping.
In a few cases, sometimes there are images inside after extraction and sometimes there aren't.

I'm currently working on a PR for the arc42-generator which should solve this issue. Gradle doing gradle things.

[DenHerrRing]

@MuMuQ no worries :-) Do you need help with that?

[dominikgoertz]

If you have the time, you could take a look at the PR mentioned above. Due to the cross-repository limitations in codespaces, I'm currently building the updated distributions locally and will create a PR for those as well. I'm not sure if Gernot wants to build the ZIPs himself though.

I add @rdmueller to this issue - as he is currently our "Master of the Build".

My suspicion is that the "arc42 generator" is the culprit - as that one became a monster once @rdmueller started building Req42 template in addition to arc42. Imho we need to find a simpler and more robust build solution some day.

I'm sure you'll find a simpler and more robust build solution there soon 👍.

Where could I find older releases of the ZIP archives in the meantime? (especially markdown)
Or would I actually have to build them locally myself?

I would also be happy with an older version.

[dominikgoertz]

@mur-dock I built the archives a few weeks ago after an attempt to fix the build system:

you should find older versions also in in the git commit history, for example the (old) commit fom Aschemann, fixing some help tags:

look in the /dist directory, there you find all downloadable artifacts
