...

  • Hyrax GitHub Repository Tags
    • Quite a number of Tags exist
    • Tag cleanup requires coordination from the community
      • Perhaps this could be proposed as a Dev. Congress activity?
      • There is effort involved in squashing Tags which needs to be considered
    • There are collisions between version numbers for Hyrax and Sufia in the past
      • Perhaps remove Tags from Sufia which are invalid now (as they don't reference any Hyrax releases)
      • There would be a way through RubyGems to find all of the Hyrax-referencing Tags
      • Scripting against the API might support querying this and doing this in batch
    • Is it possible to limit push Tag permissions in GitHub?
      • Tom could not find any setting for this
      • It might not be realistic to assume that we can purge these Tags continuously without restricting the ability for contributors to push Tags
      • Perhaps engage with contributors and ask them to delete any existing `git checkouts`, as the Tags can be pushed
      • Hence, we would need to restrict `git push` rights for a small number of contributors
    • GitHub Actions does provide a hook for tagging
      • Maybe there is some automation here?
    • Clarification: It's people's `git push` behavior which leads to these problems
    • Maintainers have deleted Tags, and they have reappeared
      • Perhaps there is some way of listening for new pushes with Tags, and intercepting this
    • GitHub Tag Collisions
      • If Alice and Bob both push with the same Tag name, how is this conflict resolved?
      • If the person minting a Hyrax version needs to perform Tag cleanup locally, then that new version Tag won't be getting obliterated is the desirable behavior
    • Tag Confusion
      • People think that 2.5.2 is a Tag which doesn't reference a valid release
        • This did not even come from the Sufia merge
    • Annotated Tags
      • These are full commits associated with the Tag
      • Does `rake release` include this functionality?
        • Tom did perform a `rake release` with an annotation and with signing the Tag
        • This should be a strongly recommended practice
    • GitHub Actions
      • Can we, through Actions and RubyGems API, clean up on `git push`?
      • Concern: It would be preferred to explore supporting this in CircleCI, as otherwise GitHub Actions would conflate multiple CI platforms
    • Generating a list of the Tags which we've generated from RubyGems
      • This would provide us with a means of providing a chronology between the Tags and the releases
    • We definitely need a document describing the release process
      • If Tag annotations are going to be supported, we should no longer use `rake release`
      • We should still explore whether or not `rake release` supports annotating Tags
      • Those releasing should also sign each release
    • Plans
      • Carry on, when you release, if there is a Tag in the way, this gets clear
      • Future practice: When a collision occurs, bump the Hyrax patch version, and start with a clean slate
        • People are still going to be confused regarding which Tags reference valid releases
        • If this is a small, restricted group of people getting confused, then perhaps this could just be added to the README
          • This could be a warning with a list of the releases from RubyGems
    • Action Items
      • Jeremy volunteers to provide a PR for improving the README discussing points of potential confusion with regards to Tagging
      • Tom volunteers to provide instructions for releasing Gems and improve the README
        • This will include the expectation that releases should be signed
      • Releases Page
        • Releases appear to be valid after 1.0.5
        • Scrolling after January 2015, there are problematic releases
      • Jeremy will request a review from Lynette in order to ensure that questions related to working directly off of Tags are addressed
  • Community Manager Position
    • (Please check Slack for an update on the process of the Community Manager interview process)
  • Next Scheduled Tech. Call
