[x] 1. Create a branch in the RELEASE repo, let's call this the RELEASE branch.
[ ] 2. Change RPM_MACROS_URL in the workflow to point to the new RELEASE branch.
[x] 3. Create a PR in the RELEASE repo for the RELEASE branch.
[x] 4. Create a matching branch in the TEST repo, let's call this the TEST branch.
[x] 5. Make the desired changes to the RELEASE branch.
[x] 6. In the TEST branch modify .github/workflows/pkg.yml so that instead of referring to pkg-rust.yml@vX it refers to pkg-rust.yml@<Git ref of HEAD commit on the TEST branch> or pkg-rust.yml@<test branch name>.
[x] 7. Create a PR in the .gihub-testing repository from the TEST branch to main, let's call this the TEST PR.
[x] 8. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the the Packaging workflow run in the TEST PR passes and behaves as desired.
[x] 9. Merge the TEST PR to the main branch.
[x] 10. Verify that the automatically invoked run of the Packaging workflow in the TEST repo against the main branch passes and behaves as desired. If not, repeat steps 4-9 until the new TEST PR passes and behaves as desired.
[x] 11. Create a release tag in the TEST repo with the same release tag as will be used in the RELEASE repo, e.g. v1.2.3. Note: Remember to respect semantic versioning, i.e. if the changes being made are not backward compatible you will need to bump the MAJOR version (in MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH) and any workflows that invoke the reusable workflow will need to be manually edited to refer to the new MAJOR version.
[x] 12. Verify that the automatically invoked run of the Packaging workflow in the TEST repo passes against the newly created release tag passes and behaves as desired. If not, delete the release tag in the TEST repo and repeat steps 4-11 until the new TEST PR passes and behaves as desired.
[x] 13. Merge the RELEASE PR to the main branch.
[ ] 14. Change RPM_MACROS_URL in the workflow to point to vX.Y.Z tag (if your release branch has a different name).
[x] 15. Create the new release vX.Y.Z tag in the RELEASE repo.
[x] 16. Update the vX tag in the RELEASE repo to point to the new vX.Y.Z tag (howto).
[x] 17. Edit .github/workflows/pkg.yml in the main branch of the TEST repo to refer again to @vX.
[ ] 18. Verify that the Packaging action in the TEST repo against the main branch passes and works as desired.
[ ] 19. (optional) If the MAJOR version was changed, update affected repositories that use the reusable workflow to use the new MAJOR version, including adjusting to any breaking changes introduced by the MAJOR version change.
