Release Process

[Xuanwo]

Hi, I want to add a workflow to automatically release crates, allowing committers to push tags to the repository to trigger a release. I believe this aligns with our vision of "release fast".

What do you think?

SGTM. Do you mean that we make a reusable workflow and share it with all crates repo?

This can be possibly done as:

• https://github.com/apache/pulsar-test-infra
• https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-actions

The release workflow may be as simple as a single cargo publish. Some projects, however, might have a more complex layout, such as fastrace. How about writing directly in the project? We can create one if needed in the future.

writing directly in the project

This is a good start.

I currently use cargo release -x to batch the push tag and publish task, while I still modify the next version manually although sometimes cargo release minor -x.

Auto release with cargo publish triggered by tag push following semver pattern sounds reasonable. Just for simply share the publish token ..

Currently, fastrace includes an manual step to publish sub crates. Specifically, commenting out all sub crate dependencies under [dev-dependencies] to avoid cycle dependency. Is there any automatic tool for this?

I will check it out.

At least, in a per repo configure bias, we can write a script for it ..
