| # Release checklist |
| |
| * Run `build-scripts/create-release.py -R libsdl-org/SDL --ref <branch>` to do |
| a dry run creating the release assets. Verify that the archives are correct. |
| |
| * Tag the release, e.g. `git tag release-3.8.0; git push --tags` |
| |
| * Run `build-scripts/create-release.py -R libsdl-org/SDL --ref <release-tag>` |
| to have GitHub Actions create release assets. This makes sure the revision |
| string baked into the archives is correct. |
| |
| * Verify that the source archive REVISION.txt has the correct release tag. |
| |
| * Sign the source archives and upload everything to libsdl.org |
| |
| * Create a GitHub release and attach the archives you just generated. |
