Pex Release Process

Table of Contents

Pre-requisites

PGP

All release tags are signed (using git tag --sign) so that users of Pex can verify maintainers have performed & trust a release. This requires releasers having a PGP key configured with git and published to key servers. An additional nicety is to configure you PGP key with GitHub for those who like to check provenance via a web UI.

Some documentation to help you get things set up if you don't have all of these pre-requisites:

  • Creating a key and configuring your key with Git and GitHub is all described here
  • Publishing your key to a keyserver is described here

Some key servers you probably want to publish your key to explicitly above and beyond your PGP setup's default configured keyserver include:

  • hkps://pgp.mit.edu
  • hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com
  • hkps://keys.openpgp.org
