Re: [sigrok-devel] sigrok release tarballs?

[Ladislav L. <kra...@kr...>]

Hi!

I agree. We've recently merged some fixes that remedy compile issues on
modern systems. I have a few PRs in my queue to test & review, but
honestly I agree we could make a service release now and perhaps set up
some semi-regular release cadence, even if it is a few features/fixes
here and there.

Soeren, how do you feel about it? I'm not sure how difficult the release
process is, but I can grab the documentation and see if I can make it
work, at least testing all the processes.

I'm mostly worried about building installer packages, in my experience
that always breaks if there hasn't been a release for a long time. In
this case, I would suggest to release a version and build the installers
after the fact if possible.

Regards,
Ladislav
