Please also create git tags while releasing new crate versions

[Xuanwo]

So that users know which commits we are on.

[YangKeao]

The only maintainer of this project @YangKeao cannot push directly (so he cannot push tags). He rarely contributes to the tikv/tikv directly, and doesn't pay a lot attention to the community of tikv, so he doesn't know when/how/why it happened 😕 . He has tagged some commits a long time ago, but after some point in time, he cannot do it anymore.

Maybe when he is not that tired, he'd like to contact someone who knows the community rule of the tikv to help him solve the problem.

Based on my knowledge, only tikv committers can push tags directly.

Possible solutions include as follows:

• Inviting one of the committers to take care of this project, maybe @andylokandy? They don't need to take part in the development, just need to push tags for release. I think it's not a big burden since pprof-rs is not heavy traffic.
• Ping one of tikv's maintainers to give you more rights on this project. Because it doesn't make sense that you are the maintainer of pprof-rs but don't have permission to push tags.
• Transfer this project out of tikv's umbrella if the tikv community doesn't have an interest in maintaining it.

Also, ping @tisonkun for more advice about the current situation.

Databend depends heavily on pprof-rs and I'm interested in maintaining pprof-rs, we can help maintain this project.

[Xuanwo]

I will raise this issue to tikv/community to get more ideas.

Ping all maintainers of tikv for comments:

• @BusyJay
• @andylokandy
• @breezewish
• @hicqu
• @innerr
• @nrc
• @skyzh
• @yiwu-arbug

@YangKeao you have Maintain access to this repository already.

@YangKeao you have Maintain access to this repository already.

Sorry for the misleading. As I just tried, I can push a tag (v0.9.1), but cannot push to master directly, is it expected?

To https://github.com/tikv/pprof-rs.git
 * [new tag]         v0.5.1 -> v0.5.1
 * [new tag]         v0.9.1 -> v0.9.1
 ! [rejected]        master -> master (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/tikv/pprof-rs.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do
hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing
hint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes

hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

I think it's fine to push the tags 😆 . I'll tag some old releases to fix this problem.

Then the release process would be: @YangKeao submits a PR to upgrade the version, after it's merged, he will tag the commit and push the tag.

I think it's expected. the master branch is protected and doesn't allow pushing directly.

Then the release process would be: @YangKeao submits a PR to upgrade the version, after it's merged, he will tag the commit and push the tag.

Looks good to me!

Maybe we can integrate with a GitHub Action to automatically create release (and possibly upload to crates.io?)

Some examples: https://github.com/risinglightdb/sqllogictest-rs/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml

Automatically publishing on crates.io is pretty cool, maybe I could add a bot as the owner of this crate, and publish the crate through bot's token 🤔 .

Closing for addressed, thanks @YangKeao again!

And also thanks advice from @tisonkun @skyzh.
