- Build inside docker should be parallel.
- Don't assume sudo to run docker commands (use --sudo if you need it).
- Various documentation cleanups and fixes.
- Always append version to SHA256SUMS file.

On GitHub where we build the zipfile, it exists, so we don't check out the submodule. If you do, your zipfile won't match! Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <[email protected]>

Telling users to rename it is a poor idea, and if you have multiple releases in your release/ dir it will get confusing. So always append -v25.09 and update docs accordingly. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <[email protected]>
Defaults to nproc, but you can set MAKEPAR=N to override it. Timings on my laptop are only a little better, because Rust. Before: time tools/build-release.sh bin-Fedora bin-Ubuntu ... real 33m17.104s user 0m4.259s sys 0m3.605s After: time tools/build-release.sh bin-Fedora bin-Ubuntu ... real 25m25.556s user 0m4.297s sys 0m3.743s Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <[email protected]>
I don't! Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <[email protected]>
1. Put v prefix before NEW_VERSION 2. Change the checkin line to a one-liner. 3. Have build-release.sh check for the v prefix (with --force-version= you could omit it). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <[email protected]>
With more developers, inevitably there are PRs queued during the release process. Just accept that there will need to be a branch created for any point release. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <[email protected]>
Signing `--without-zip` will not work. You will end up with a empty SHA256SUMS file. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <[email protected]>
We found a bug last release, and had to yoink tag back from GH. This is not good! Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <[email protected]>
