> > @ashb @kaxil -> I figured out that we have really two modes of release - one for "SVN" where we only rename the files with rc but the version inside is without the suffix, and the PyPI ones where we set version to "rc" and the package name also has "rc" as part of the name. > > Yes, as documented (albeit not clearly) https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRFLOW/Releasing+Airflow#ReleasingAirflow-PyPISnapshots(Optional).1 > > > I solved it with two switches > > ``` > > * `--artifact-name-suffix rc1`-> only changes name of the .tar.gz/.whl packages - used for SVN package generation. Those are signed and cheksummed. > > > > * `--version-suffix rc1` -> adds the rc1 suffix to both - version in metadata and binary package names. This is used to prepare packages for PyPI. > > ``` > > > > > > I updated the docs to mention that. > > I would probably suggest we make this less error-prone, by doing `--rc-for-pypi` and have it do the right things Good Idea. I am adding few last touches to the docs and I will update it - including also the -py3 only tag and some updates in the readmes as suggested. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
