Change Details

Current Situation - We currently distribute releases to 2-3 locations. What is the reason for this? Should we consolidate to a single location for releases, and if so, where and how to get there? - [[ https://hub.docker.com/u/wikibase | docker hub ]] and the [[ https://releases.wikimedia.org/wikibase/ | wikimedia releases ]] are the places where the wbSuite packages are published - Extension Distributor has no wbSuite package. Some of the reasons are documented on this [[ https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-pipeline/blob/main/docs/adr/0002-tarball-hosting.md | ADR ]] - The example directory should not be part of the release pipeline repository

It is strange that we require users to clone the pipeline to then copy the "example" directory in order to run the Wikibase Suite "example". Do we want to still consider this the "example" or is it correct to call it a "distribution". Proposal: Move our distributions (the "example directory") to its own home (github? tbd), and clearly version each release including a semantic versioning scheme which tracks in some informative way against MediaWiki and/or Wikibase versions. This is the most critical step we can make to clarify and streamline our installation, and maintenance/upgrade process. This will also help to set things up to better focus and "tidy up" the build pipeline repository" itself, allowing us to get focused and produce better and more reliable distributions. **Completion criteria: ** Consider this proposal, and any others as a team, and come to decisions. Create tasks for completing the agreed upon solution.
