Clarity on build pipeline, branches, tags

[HaleTom]

Context: I'm thinking of splitting the Arch packages into develop and release and appimage (the last requiring no compilation, but larger)

I noticed tag: continuous-develop is not being updated. Last update was:

eb6528d9 Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/feature/rs-201910' into develop (tag: continuous-develop)[3 years, 8 months ago Robert Spiegel]

This wiki page says:

Tip of the develop branch is marked by tag continuous-develop

1. Is the continuous-develop tag needed anymore?
2. Has it been entirely replaced by appimage?
3. Does the develop branch always pass all integration checks / automated tests?
4. Is there any case where the tag appimage isn't applied to the tip of develop? Only when Travis CI is in progress?

Hi Tom, all what is described in the wiki page, should still be valid. ad1: yes it is build out of develop ad2: this question doesn't give me much sense. the app image is created from master (continuous) and from develop (continuous-develop) and for each tag - this the tag continuous-develop should work as described ad3: yes, but to be honest there aren't many unit tests ad4 there is no tag "appimage"; continuous & continuous-develop tags are created by travis CI builds running automatically after merge in develop or master

but you are right - for some reason the artefact for both continuous & continuous-develop haven't been updated for some reason - I now deleted both releases continuous & continuous-develop and restarted both Travis CI builds which hopefully will generate them new

all is now freshly generated and tags are set correctly

That all looks fantastic - thanks very much ☺️
