Offline installation of mssql extention for vscode

[bcibiks]

Please can you point me to the location of the latest installation vsix file for my OS?
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-mssql/releases/tag/v1.22.1 is the last version with these sort of vsix files

From reading the notes below - this is still supported
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/tools/visual-studio-code-extensions/mssql/mssql-extension-visual-studio-code?view=sql-server-ver16

Supported operating systems

Currently, this extension supports the following operating systems:
Windows (x64 | x86 | Arm64)
macOS (x64 | Arm64)
Linux Arm64
Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, 22.04
Debian 10, 11, 12
CentOS 7, 8 / Oracle Linux 7, 8
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL): 8, 9
Fedora 35,36
OpenSUSE Leap 15

Offline installation

The extension can download and install a required SqlToolsService package during activation. You can still use the extension for machines with no Internet access by choosing the Install from VSIX... option in the Extension view and installing a bundled release from our Releases page. Each operating system has a .vsix file with the required service included. Pick the file for your OS, download, and install it to get started. We recommend you choose a full release and ignore any alpha or beta releases, as these are our daily builds used in testing.

@Benjin do you know if we reenabled the offline VSIX builds after the build pipeline updates?

[Benjin]

We didn't. IIRC, we were blocked on a signing issue that might've been related to/resolved the new VSIX signing operation. I'll revive that workitem.

Yes please! I'm suffering the old issue #391 (comment) .
Also, my company blocked downloading from github, such as https://github.com/microsoft/sqltoolsservice/releases. Can we have such files downloadable from visualstudio.com, like the normal vsix files?
