Provide immutable source archives

[jurajlutter]

Hi,

in order to make life for us (package maintainers) a bit easier, I wonder if it's possible to release also properly rolled, immutable, source archives along with binary files.

The way it is done now relies on github-created archives that can, under some circumstances, change, causing checksums to also change (among other things).

What do you think about it?
Thanks.

I think it's good to provide immutable source archives.
But I don't know how to do.
Is it can be done by modifying GitHub Action settings?
PR is more than welcome.

Yes, you probably need to create the proper archive and release it as an asset similarly to what you already do with binary files.
