Release TODO

tv is getting closer to being the finished product that was envisioned from the start. I assume that when tv is "complete" releases/patches will become less frequent. This page is to be a reminder of tasks I need to do when new versions are pushed. I am making this now while the steps are fresh in my mind.

1. Documentation checklist
   • has the version been bumped in the help section
   • say what has changed in changelog.md
2. Bump the version in Config.toml
3. Release. Push and merge a "prep" commit before commiting
4. git checkout main. git pull. Add a tag locally that matches the version number. Push the tag to main. (This triggers GHA) git tag 0.0.0 and git push origin 0.0.0
5. Add Debian Release: Use cargo deb to build a debian binary (maybe add this to GHA in the future). Upload to releases page.
6. Add RPM Release: Use alien --verbose --to-rpm ./target/debian/tidy-viewer_<VERSION_NUMBER>_amd64.deb to make an RPM package.
7. Update the homebrew tap. Get the sha256sum of the apple darwin build and change the version numbers.
8. Publish cargo publish
