It is unclear whether git tagging should be involved in this step - already tagged on gerrit.

git tagging -> https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-prototype/pull/27

the tar publishing -> https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-prototype/pull/25

There is now a step in the pipeline called build_mediawiki that can be reviewed here for example -> https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-prototype/actions/runs/477999022

This could be reviewed by looking at new builds on main, https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-prototype/actions/runs/478052740 for example now has repo and fedprops suite.

There is a draft ADR that talks a bit about the contents already, basically copy paste of how mediawiki does it https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-prototype/pull/14, this could be used as some kind of inspiration.

Ok this pull request now covers all of the bullepoints.

Added another PR restructuring all of the documentation to use an index with links -> https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-prototype/pull/21

https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-prototype/pull/19/files is merged with documentation

@KFrancis Thank you!

@toan Your releasers-wikibase access should be taken care of (may take up to 30 min to roll out everywhere).

@KFrancis Are you able to confirm NDA status for Tobias, thanks

@jbond I was not able to find an NDA on record, but will process one now. I'll contact you if I have additional information. Thanks!

The change has now been merged all users listed in the original post should have the required access. @toan I have been unable to validate your NDA status to enable shell access however we can deal with that in T269777 and once resolved i will add you to this group when the shell account is created.

Please reopen this issue if there are any further issues

there does not seem to be a limit on this.

some initial work is proposed here https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-prototype/pull/18 covering the first bullet point

https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-prototype/pull/13

https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-prototype/pull/8

You could also add a group just for this following this example to create a group specifically for this: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/483800

Not everyone can run composer (security, shared hosting, shell access etc), and so we support both vendor in the extension folder (for an extensions dependancies), as well as composer-merge plugin method.

Could be worth WMDE putting a bit of time (I imagine it's not going to need too much engineering effort, probably, maybe...) into improving ExtensionDistributor to add that tag support

Just putting some ideas out there. I'm definitely not saying "YOU MUST DO IT THIS WAY" :). But at the same time, there's maybe some value for having the tags in the repos (which >presumably will exist as part of the building process), and a way to get them from extension disitributor too.
