Release tags discussion

[GallaisPoutine]

Hi @pedroscaff,

What are your thoughts on release tags ?
I'm thinking it could be a great way to automate deliveries, and source tarballs. I do not know how tarball releases can be automated, but this can be a first way to do this.

I am thinking of this kind of things:

For information I just prepped locally each and every tags of the baseline. I also signed them, so users know they can trust it.
If you agree I can push them.

Regards,
Raph

Edit:

Out of curiosity I tested on my personal fork. It seems that the only thing needed to create tarballs are the tags. Github generated automatically tarballs and zips in the /release/ tab !

hi @GallaisPoutine, I think it is a good idea! It would be nice to have the release tag + do a cargo version update (which I think it is already required for some automated archlinux packaging thing for our project). As a second step we could also add binaries to the releases. I'll create one issue and if you feel like working on it go for it! Thanks for bringing this up

@GallaisPoutine I created two issues, feel free to give your input there as well, I just tried to give some first guidance since I have good experience with devops/CI/CD.
