Description

The latest [v1.15.6.0](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenShadingLanguage/releases/tag/v1.15.6.0) Github release is missing its release tarball. This is unlike previous releases where a tarball was included as a release asset allowing for easy distribution (e.g. [v1.15.5.0](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenShadingLanguage/releases/tag/v1.15.5.0)). This is problematic for provisioning OSL sources for building, and in our case for upgrading the Blender OSL dependency for the next 5.3 release.

Research direction

Compare the v1.15.6.0 release assets with the previous v1.15.5.0 release linked in the issue, then inspect the repository's release process for how source tarballs are produced. Done means the v1.15.6.0 GitHub release includes a usable source tarball for provisioning and downstream builds.
