RELEASING: add pre-release suggestion to test downstream projects #406

Closed bluetech closed 1 year ago

bluetech commented 1 year ago

The recent 1.1.0 release broke two different users of pluggy (devpi and conda). In order to avoid such things in the future, we should improve our pre-release testing.

I went through pluggy's reverse dependencies and found a few large projects which use pluggy (at least these are the ones I recognized). Here is the list, with notes on how to test them (I haven't verified the steps yet):

For now we can just suggest testing these manually in the RELEASING file, but in the future maybe we can automate it.
