If you have apache roles you should be able to see it, hopefully.
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/releases/tag/untagged-ddeff182f42fef31fb9e
(if the link doesn't work try finding it on the release page)
should we publish it as pre-release (there is a checkbox for that)?
Publishing it will create a 17-rc1 tag for the release branch since I
don't think its possible to publish without tagging something.
It looks like releases are fairly easy to remove, so we don't have to
keep all release notes of RCs around forever. I think git tags can be
removed without force push, right?
It certainly would be nicer to link to in the announce emails than the
closed PR list.
We used to tag all release candidates. Let me know if you think it's
worth doing for this and I can start pushing them again easily enough.
oh cool. Well it would be better to tag via shell than via UI since it
has usually a more predictable outcome :)
So if we decide to add the generated release notes we probably should do
it that way I think.
Mind you, the only reason we push tags is to use annotated vs
lightweight tags as far as I remember, and I can't remember why that
decision was made either?!
I think the main difference if I remember correctly is that annotated
tags are commits. So its more official, someone has to commit something.
Lightweight tags suddenly appear in the repo (and I believe they can be
also easily deleted). But a commit is a commit.
The release note generator UI doesn't care what kind of tag it is - so
it wouldn't matter there.
(but maybe that was not the reason)
