Using GitHub Actions to automate releases #47

Closed pratikpc closed 1 year ago

pratikpc commented 2 years ago

Hey we could use GitHub Actions to automate building and releasing the project itself.

Given that git tags are already being used, I would recommend something in which the maintainers will have to create a tag after which a GitHub Action will execute and perform the deployment

Is that something which the maintainers would interested in?

Thats something that could potentially be looked into. But we likely wouldn't use actions for publishing, as we'd probably want signed binaries which can't be done through actions. For now though, I've added actions automation for building in https://github.com/microsoft/etl2pcapng/pull/52

I don't think it'd be awful to have tags trigger the GitHub release creation.

The plan is to have all future releases prod signed (I'm already in the process of getting binaries signed for a new release). That signing is a manual process as far as I know.

The Actions are nice for checking build though (and I have been thinking about adding a test as well).

Since we now have a build action, and prod signing in github actions isn't possible AFAIK, I'm marking this done.
