Hello folks I just published a new PR (#2156) <https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/2156> so that Polaris has semi-automated releases [1]. This work is a 1:1 mapping of the release guide into bash scripts, with a couple of additional checks. This is intended to facilitate reviews and so that it could be used as early as for the upcoming release.
You can get an idea of what each script is doing by looking at the command that _would be_ executed if dry-run mode was disabled (it is enabled by default to allow experimentation). Simply look at the `releasey/test/` directory. Shout out to Robert for his prior work on release automation (#485) <https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/485/>. This served as the basis for the current PR. I hope we can start using this as early as for the 1.0.1 release Cheers Pierre -- Pierre
