create a signed git tag, create a release

It would help if there was a release, a signed git tag that users could be pointed at.

Why not git verify-commit <commit>?

Master is supposed to stay usable and permanent, with experimental stuff going into other branches, e.g. I just uploaded https://github.com/rustybird/corridor/tree/qubes/qubes

Nice, thanks! By the way, I'm working on automatically setting up a logging DNS server, similar to how it's done in orplug.

Cool!

Which version number would we give the package if it gets uploaded to the Whonix or even Debian repository?

Perhaps we just count the number of git commits and use that as version number?

[rustybird]

I think the ISO 8601 timestamp (without separators) of the last commit is often used, e.g. corridor-20160704102229

Do you know the git command to create this format?

[rustybird]

Maybe something like

git show --no-patch --pretty=format:%ai <commit> |
tr -dc 0-9 |
cut -b 1-14

I find these version numbers difficult to read, but it's your call.
