[wesleyboar]

Overview

Add script to annotate lightweight tags.

• FP-1544

Changes

• Add script.
• Ignore its output (used to manually check if script worked).

Testing

1. Run the new script.
2. Confirm no errors.
3. Compare the two output files.
4. Confirm the "after" output difference has:
   • two dates per entry
   • no other content is changed

The whitespace in output files is different… sorry 🤷‍♂️ . Ideas?

Notes

After this process is approved, only then should we actually push the tags to origin. (Otherwise, origin might lose data from incorrect solution.)

How do you propose we make sure tags are added moving forwards in the release process?

[wesleyboar]

@rstijerina Manually run this script upon each release. Not great, I know.

I really feel this is a problem GitHub should solve (feedback).

[wesleyboar]

Proposal declined.

It's not worth changing our build process to accommodate this:

• benefit is a string in a comment on for devs who will rarely see it
• it's a problem GitHub should solve
• we want to move to a new build process anyway

This is apparently already part of main since v3.12.0-beta.4: e043d45.

[wesleyboar]

This script was eventually restored. It's available in main currently. Permalink for the v4.9.0 one.
