 @alejandrosame:matrix.org | Hi all!
I've been working the last couple of days on a release notes generator after having merge conflicts and receiving feedback from contributors that wanted to have the file be split.
You can check the draft PR (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/262296) and start giving feedback since I won't be refactoring the script and structure further.
I talked already with raitobezarius about this change and he also pointed me to ask here which approach would you like to take to move forward with the autogeneration of the release notes. The idea is that the we limit changes to the collected release notes file made by contributors. Some of the options are:
- Having a bot autocommiting the release notes to the repo, so it is still rendered by github.
- Limiting commiting to the main release notes file to only release managers and editors. The could from time to time generate the file and commit it to the relevant location.
- Having a manual build output so people can check the rendered version locally. This would have to be done either way as part of the build task for the manual.
Please, share your ideas and comments :)
