Release Responsible

[usercont-release-bot]

Check if there are changes worth releasing for all our RPM-packaged projects: packit, ogr, specfile

(packit is used as an example below)

• Run Prepare a new release workflow via Run workflow button: choose main branch and type the correct version number for the new release. In a while, you should see the action running and creating a pull request in the repository.
• Review the created PR - you can ask other team members to help you with changelog grammar if needed. You can check out the PR locally, update it and push it back to the PR.
• Merge the pull request once you're fine with the content (and there are no pending review requests).
• The merge of the PR should trigger an action that creates a draft release in the releases list. Edit the release, make sure the content is correct and then publish the release by clicking Publish release.
• Make sure the package is uploaded to PyPI
• Check (wait a few minutes) & merge PRs in dist-git created by packit: merge those created by the stage instance and close the ones created by the production instance. (But check that both services proposed the same set of changes.)
• Wait a few minutes and verify that RPMs are built in Koji
• Wait a bit and verify that updates have been created in Bodhi
• Celebrate another release 🚀🎉
