Release process: reviewing improvements following 4.5~rc1, 4.5, and 4.6

Hello fellow RMs (anonym,
intrigeri),
I’ve tried to select the changes that were the most easy and possibly
uncontroversial from my list of small-to-not-so-small “bugs” during the
4.5~rc1 and 4.5 release processes. In case that helps you figuring out
where the changes are coming from, I’ve pushed two separate yet
cumulative branches: feature/improvements-from-4.5-rc1
and
feature/improvements-from-4.5
There are some other things I’d like to fix, like:
- maybe reordering a few steps (it’s easier to start building IUKs on Jenkins if you start pushing your images early);
- relatedly: maybe adding some condensed/specific git-annex commands to make that happen quicker;
- possibly reporting progress when dealing with all those IUKs (checking/copying means no output for 4+ minutes, which might be worrying);
- better clean-ups in various places.
But I’d be happy to get those branches out of my way in the first place.
Also, any opinions regarding the huge mix of spaces and tabs we have at
the moment in release_process.mdwn
? I’m tempted to kill all tabs.
Feature Branch: feature/improvements-from-4.5-rc1, feature/improvements-from-4.5, feature/improvements-from-4.6
