Maintaining

Some notes for maintainers.

Releasing

1. Bump the version using the update-version.sh script:

   git checkout -b bump-version main
   ./scripts/update-version.sh --no-tag patch   # or minor or major

   By default this would create a local tag, but we would have to overwrite it later, so we skip that step.

2. Test it!

   make dist-test
   
   # Make sure that the version number on the wheels looks correct.
   ls */dist/*.whl

3. Make and merge a PR.

4. Update the tag locally.

   Once the PR with the new version files is merged.

   git checkout main
   git pull
   git tag vM.m.p

   Note: M.m.p is the version number you just bumped to above.

5. Retest!

   make dist-clean
   make dist-test

6. Update the tag remotely to the MLOS upstream repo.

   git push --tags # upstream (if that's what you called your upstream git remote)

7. Make a "Release" on Github.

   Once this is done, the rules in .github/workflows/devcontainer.yml will automatically publish the wheels to pypi and tagged docker images to ACR.
   Note: This may fail if the version number is already published to pypi, in which case start from the beginning with a new patch version.
