It would be very nice if the announce mail included either a sha256
checksum for the tarball (thanks Guido for doing that in your recent
release!), or a GPG key used to sign the release, see
http://lwn.net/Articles/548857/ for more details about this.
I sign the tag as well as the email so together with the checksums this
builds the "chain of trust" (given you trust my gpg signature). A
further improvement would be to build the tarballs first and then add
the checksums as the commit message of the tag - I'll try to do that
with the next 0.9.12.x release.
This is the quick hack I'm currently using based on Cole's description -
it sure needs further tweeking when doing further releases:
---
#!/bin/bash
#
set -e
if [ -z "$1" -o -z "$2" ]; then
echo "Usage $0 version oldversion"
exit 1
fi
VERSION=$1
OLDVER=$2
TARBALL=libvirt-$1.tar.gz
MD5=$(md5sum $TARBALL)
SHA1=$(sha1sum $TARBALL)
SHA256=$(sha256sum $TARBALL)
git tag -s -m "libvirt release $VERSION" v$VERSION
CHANGES=$(git log --no-merges --pretty=" %s (%an)" v$OLDVER..v$VERSION)
