release_process: add intermediary “update misc files” commit?
Originally created by @CyrilBrulebois on #16585 (Redmine)
Currently there are a lot of things getting done post release, under “Rename, copy, garbage collect and update various files”.
The first git commit instructions is very much below, after having
collected things for the news about security bugfixes, etc.
I’d be happy to have two additions here:
- mentioning cleaning up GPG’s output, which can (and at least locally always do) contain warnings about key trust.
- a call to git add and git commit with e.g. “Update misc files for ${VERSION?:}”
so that it can be recorded properly in git before new files get added with changelog excerpts/security fixes, etc.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have admin enable hashed storage. More information
