Produce releases?

[jmdh]

Hello,

I'm looking at packaging this module for Debian, and noticed that you are producing regular releases but suggest that people download directly from master.

I wondered if you would consider making releases too, since this would make it easier to keep track of versions installed. We can work around this by renaming master.tar.gz to include 0.0.3+20150522, but this is a bit ugly and needs manual intervention.

Thanks for your work on this project!

P.S. the bug report about adding this to Debian is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760962

@jmdh This is a defect in a README file. User should use pip install pywinrm==version instead of master. I will fix readme and will add release tags into the Git repository.

Great, thanks!

Also, it would be good if the pip packages contained LICENSE and README.md for packaging.

Hi Alexey, could you release a source tarball for the latest version? Debian is currently stuck at 0.1.1 (which is the latest source tarball released), and packaging directly from git repos is frowned upon. It would help to get the latest release of pywinrm into Debian before the release freeze.

[jmdh]

@leegarrett actually 0.0.3, but thanks for spotting this. I have dropped the ball on keeping this package updated in Debian and agree it would be good to get this fixed for the freeze.

[diyan]

@leegarrett @jmdh OK, I will work on this. What do you need from my side other than tagging release on Github and updating CHANGELOG.md?

[nitzmahone]

The release process isn't fully automated- I did the last couple with a bdist_wheel and didn't include an sdist. I think I might be able to add the sdist without doing a new release, but lemme try it on test-pypi first...

[leegarrett]

@diyan To make me fully happy, https://pypi.python.org/simple/pywinrm/ should have a pywinrm-0.2.1.tar.gz as an end result.

@jmdh I'm currently preparing a new release, and noticed that the usual steps would have me end up with 0.1.1.

[nitzmahone]

@leegarrett I've added the corresponding sdist (.tar.gz) to the existing 0.2.1 release on pypi- does that get you where you need to be?

[diyan]

@nitzmahone I'm preparing 0.2.2 release. Do you have anything to add into CHANGELOG?

[nitzmahone]

@diyan Nope- the CredSSP stuff is the only thing that's been merged since 0.2.1, and Jordan already included it in the changelog in his PR. I was planning to do a pass over some Py3 bugs/tests to get everything happy before 0.2.2, but if you want to do it now, I can do that in 0.2.3 later...

[nitzmahone]

@diyan Oh nevermind, you added it to the changelog just now. For the pypi deploy, are you set up to do both bdist_wheel and sdist? You only used to do sdists, so just want to make sure both are available.

[diyan]

@nitzmahone Let's tag 0.2.2 release now, ok?

In such way, @jmdh and @leegarrett could work on python2-winrm / python3-winrm packages for Debian. They have pretty outdated configuration and it will took some time to sync with latest pywinrm release.

Once you are ready you can tag bugfix release as v0.2.3 and guys will just increment version number.

[diyan]

For the pypi deploy, are you set up to do both bdist_wheel and sdist?

Shame on me but I have no idea how to setup this. Could you do this for me - tag releases on GitHub and PyPI? Everything is ready from what I see. Changelog is up-to-date all tests are green on Travis / AppVeyor

[nitzmahone]

@diyan: No problem- that's why I asked. ;) I was able to add the tarball the Debian folks need to the existing 0.2.1 release on pypi. But I also think we're OK to release 0.2.2 now with just CredSSP support added. I know some folks are eagerly awaiting. :)

[diyan]

@nitzmahone Awesome. Please do it once you feel ready.

[nitzmahone]

OK, 0.2.2 release is up on PyPI with CredSSP support- both sdist and bdist_wheel.

cc/ @jmdh @leegarrett - let me know if you need anything else on this end for packaging stuff. Thanks!
