Release feed without PR tags

[nathanboktae]

Excuse the meta question, but the release feed (https://github.com/nodejs/node/releases.atom) has been very chatty with tags from pull requests. Is there a release feed without those? I'd hate to miss security releases from our slack channel.

@orangemocha this is your commit tagging thing from the merge job.

[orangemocha]

Yep, that's the internal tag. There are a couple : jenkins-accept-pull-request-temp2, jenkins-accept-commit-temp2

Hopefully we can filter them out from the atom feed. @nodejs/build

[Fishrock123]

Do we need to use tags for this?

[orangemocha]

It could be a branch. Given that most people don't fetch tags, it is less visible as a tag but other than that I don't think it matters much.

[Fishrock123]

Actually I think this should warrant switching off tags ASAP.

[orangemocha]

@rvagg how difficult would it be to filter the atom feed? If it's just a matter of adding a grep line to a script, that would be easier than changing the Jenkins jobs to use branches. It can certainly be done but it's not as easy as changing a string from "refs/tag" to a "refs/branch" and the tag approach has had a few months of testing.

..but I'll look into it in more detail tomorrow.

[Fishrock123]

@orangemocha This isn't something we have control of. GitHub does it.

[orangemocha]

@Fishrock123 : sold 😉 I'll fix it

[nathanboktae]

I ❤️ you guys for your responsiveness on something that could've been totally ignored. Much appreciated.

[Fishrock123]

The CI job isn't being used anymore, so I'm going to close this. Future ones will have to use a branch, if re-implemented.

Thanks a lot!
