Include checksums in changelog
CJ-Wright opened this issue · comments
Would it be possible to include the checksums in the changelog?
What is the best way to programatically expose the checksums? (I'm thinking about the bot using user generated checksums)
If you want the changelog to part of the release, then you run into incompleteness issues. You can't compute the checksum without having the complete repository. And if you want to include the checksums, the repository isn't complete!
That said, there could be an activity that computes the checksums AFTER the tag operation. This data could then get shoved into the docs somewhere before they are built. But the checksum itself wouldn't be part of the release tarball.
Hmm ok.
Edit: Right, I was just hoping to put this into the github release notes, which I think is after the tag.
