There is a mighty script that we informally call python-release, created by Riccardo, that we use to package new versions of our software, most notably spicerack and python-wmflib.
The goals of this task are:
- Create a gitlab repository to host this software
- Add some tweaks (already discussed with Riccardo) to upload various misc/help bash scripts to the right hosts (like aptXXXX, build2001, etc..) as part of the script.
- Collect all info and credentials needed to run the script, add as many notes as possible in a README.md
- Somebody (not Riccardo) should test the script and do a Spicerack release, to confirm everything is working.
This will allow us to bypass Riccardo when deploying Python code \o/. No wait sorry, we love Riccardo, but we need to be able to release Spicerack even when he is on holidays :D
