release tags not being created?

[stevengj]

For some reason, no releases are being tagged by @JuliaRegistrator, since version 1.1. @fingolfin last updated TagBot in #165.

I've had to redo the DocumenterTools.genkeys() process for several of my repos; I think there may have been a bunch of keys reset at some point automatically by GitHub.

[fingolfin]

Yes, the SSH_KEY needs to be setup. Please follow the instructions at https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/TagBot#ssh-deploy-keys.

After you have done that you can hopefully generate the missing tags by going to https://github.com/JuliaMath/DecFP.jl/actions/workflows/TagBot.yml and then (if you have sufficient admin rights) select the "Run workflow" popup button; in there, set the "lookback" value high enough that it cover the missing commits -- it is given in days, the default is 3, but the 1.2 release was 2021-11-23, so I guess you need something like ... 800 or so, to be on the safe side cough. Disclaimer: I am not sure how well that works, and if it will detect all "missing" releases in one go, or if you have to maybe run this multiple times...

Should be fixed now, thanks!

But it doesn't look like it worked to create the 1.2 and 1.3 release tags retroactively :sad:

[fingolfin]

The run produced a "GitHub returned a 5xx error code". Maybe that day range is just to big. The last release was in July (?) so maybe try with something like 210 days instead?

[fingolfin]

... or just make another release ;-)

[stevengj]

I tried 210 days, no dice.

It's not a huge deal, we can just wait until the next release (assuming it works then).
