This commit changes our release process from the model of having a
release commit (and pull request) which also updated the NEWS.md file
and bumped the versions in the osbuild.spec and setup.py files to simply
pushing a tag.
After the tag (containing the release notes) is pushed, a GitHub
composite action is triggered that creates a GitHub release with the
contents of the git release tag. Furthermore the bumping of the version
number now always has to happen directly after a release to avoid having
to push a(n untested) commit to main for the release and this is also
handled by the GitHub composite action.
Finally packit pushes directly to dist-git now on pushing the release
tag, so no pull-request needs to be reviewed and merged anymore.
This is achieved using "jobs" from packit-as-a-service, more
specifically the propose_downstream job. Furthermore
sync_from_downstream job is configured to keep the spec file
synchronized and prevent merge conflicts for new releases.
Also a small change in Makefile was necessary as it does not reflect the
current state of the spec file in Fedora dist-git (tarball name is
different). The spec file itself is not modified in this commit, because
it will be synchronized automatically using Packit.
packit is a service for continous delivery into Fedora repositories. It
should help us synchronize upstream repository on Github with downstream
repository on src.fedoraproject.org.
