So, I did the following commands per instructions:
#Make sure you've read "Local repository setup"
git remote update
git checkout staging
git pull upstream staging
git tag v2.062-b1 #b1=>first beta
git push upstream v2.062-b1
and they all worked successfully, but the new tag, etc., do
not show
up here:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/tree/staging
The tag is there but it references the same commit as 2.061.
This is
because the tag was made on the staging branch, which is
correct. But
the staging branch hasn't been updated since the last release.
(Which
is also correct, but we have to do one intermediate release with
special transition instructions. Otherwise we have two releases
with
exactly the same content)
To determine what to do now, we have to know when this release
is
supposed to be shipped. If we can delay it for ~1 Month we can
make the
transition to the new release process now and the next release
will
follow the new instructions 100%. If we want to release ASAP
the next
release will be the intermediate release.
BTW: It's very important that the released beta zips are
actually based
on the created tags! The current release is based on some recent
commit, although the tag is set to a commit from a month ago.
Well it has been raised that the staging branch is kind of
useless. It was useful in early version, but several changes in
the process diminished its interest. Should we simply remove it ?
Anyway, Walter, you should first update the stagging branch via :
#Make sure you've read "Local repository setup"
git remote update
git checkout master
git pull upstream master
git checkout staging
git pull upstream staging
git merge master
git push upstream staging
I think you forgot that step.
On a side note, can we rename regression bug into something else
? The way it is used in the wiki is clearly note what is meant
when using the term regression usually. Released bug maybe ? Bug
in production ?
