Dynolog is a telemetry daemon for performance monitoring and tracing. It exports metrics from different components in the system like the linux kernel, CPU, disks, Intel PT, GPUs etc. Dynolog also integrates with pytorch and can trigger traces for distributed training applications.
Publishing timely releases will enable users to pick stable versions of dynolog. This is a must-have for a good open source project and we are going to work towards it here.
We plan to leverage github releases feature in conjunction with git tags.
Our release flow should include RPM and debian packages for users to directly down and utilize.
Dynolog sources will have the version ID string available so the binary/tools can self identify the version as well.
Development Items
[x] Add a release.txt file and use it in CMake build flow, propagate it to C++ and rpm/debian package name.
[x] Add instructions on how to git tag, build rpm and debian package. See an example here
[x] Dyno cli tool adds a 'version' subcommand so you can query the version of daemon running on remote host.
Future Work
This will be the basic version of release flow. In the future we can also automatically build RPMs and Debian packages using github actions or circleCI.
