decred/release

This release tool cross-compiles reproducible executables and release archives (.tar.gz or .zip depending on platform) for Decred releases.

Usage:

$ go run .

Executables will be written to a bin directory and archived or copied into the dist directory. SHA256 hashes of all files for a distribution are written to a manifest file, also found in the dist directory for each distribution.

The build must be performed from within the Git repository, and it is not recommended to install the release builder using go install.

release's Issues

dcrinstall is not ready for darwin/arm64

We need to verify that dcrinstall works on this platform, and update the packaging script to package the arm64 dcrinstall executable.

If this isn't finished by the time we release v1.6.1, we are not publishing the dcrinstall package for this platform.
