Description

It seems that at least tailsgreeter/__init__.py embeds a version number that should be bumped at release time, but last time I followed https://tails.boum.org/contribute/release_process/tails-greeter/, nothing told me to update it. I’ve noticed we now have a scripts/release.sh script. Please document when and how it should be run :)

Any ETA for this? I’d like to see this fixed by May 15 so I can test the updated doc when preparing 3.0~rc1.

This commit has nothing to do with the issue.

I belive I fixed the issue. Please check it is clear enough.

  • QA Check changed from Ready for QA to Dev Needed

Reverted: we already have a documented release process, so let’s please not introduce another one in some other place that release managers won’t look at. Instead, please ensure the one we already have works.

Apparently you did this on the master branch and not where I was looking (feature/stretch) so I missed it. So I can actually review it :) I’ve pushed my revert on greeter.git:feature/stretch anyway, as such duplicated info is doomed to become obsolete at some point: we have a hard time already to keep one version up-to-date, as this ticket shows, so let’s not make our job any harder.

#9 Updated by intrigeri 2017-05-16 14:32:37

And while I’m at it: why do we want to embed such version numbers in the code?
