Release Process
skipjack opened this issue · comments
I think we need to figure out a good release process for this repo (not sure what the standard is for other webpack-contrib repos). First things first, we should probably create:
- A
prepublishnpm script that runs the build so we don't forget to before publishing - Maybe a
postpublishnpm script that removes the/distdirectory?
I did add a release script using standard-version however I'm not really sure how to properly push the tagged commits up to the remote. I don't have permissions to directly push to master and only "Rebase & Merge" / "Squash & Merge" are allowed for PRs which both leave the tag orphaned. Oddly enough, I am able to push tags directly to master so what I've been doing is a "Rebase & Merge", then delete the orphaned tag and create the same one on the new master commit.
Any advice much appreciated. Seeing as I'm not going to be the lead maintainer on this repo, maybe it just makes sense to give master privileges to whoever that's going to be and then they can run the release script and push the commit directly to master.

@skipjack - Release is handled by webpack-defaults for all the loaders / plugins and will shortly be automated via CircleCi workflows.
The access problem on the other hand has been resolved :)

Cool, thanks -- for now I guess @TheLarkInn and I can just cut releases and push directly to master.

Interesting, I'll look into that (and I know I still owe you / webpack-defaults a remark-lint or some form of markdown lint config). I did start a rebuild branch on webpack.js.org which uses remark so it's finally in the works.
