Re: Using repo to make 'regular' releases

Hi,

for the topic of making "releases" I wondered if we want to explore using "repo" to tie the different Osmocom repositories into a single "release". Below is an example "default.xml" that would make up a release. The default.xml would be maintained in a git repository that we could tag, e.g. something like v201704.1 (vYYYYMM.MINOR).

I could envision we have:

• A simple build shell script to build/install everything
• A script to update (and tag) the default.xml to make new releases available.

I like the central handle on dependencies, but I don't really like XML. Why not use the git submodules approach? Can't submodules tag specific revisions?
