Yes, absolutely! As I started about 2 years ago to keep watching and improving the Debian packaging of kicad packages a first thing I've done was to automate the preparation of the needed source tarballs. Keep in mind the kicad packages need about > 100 git repositories to get data from at this time. This was really time consuming. Doing these things all automatically based on a tag has saved a lot of time which is then better usable for doing the packaging QS for example. Doing a normal point release is still needing a complete weekend with all the testing. That's why I've raised the question about versioning especially on the library side some weeks ago. See point 2 on my starting email about this. https://www.mail-archive.com/kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net/msg27862.html Starting with KiCad 5 we decided to split of the various libraries from the main kicad package, but I need to keep the uploads of the various stand alone packages in sync because of the relationship between them. So yes, a consistently naming of tags in the git trees would be really appreciated! Doing a RC is not much different from doing a point release. The following git trees are involved for a complete release. 1. kicad 2. kicad-doc 3. kicad-footprints 4. kicad-i18n 5. kicad-packages3d 6. kicad-symbols 7. kicad-templates And the kicad website at some point. That is a quite a lot of stuff that is involved. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
