RFE: please start making github releases

[kloczek]

https://github.com/rfc1036/whois/releases
Is it possible next time on release new version make the github release to have entry on https://github.com/rfc1036/whois/releases? 🤔

I'm asking because only on make gh release is spread notification about new release to those who have set watch->releases.

More about gh releases is possible to find on
https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/managing-releases-in-a-repository

[rfc1036]

Every release is tagged, but manually creating the releases from the web interface looks like a lot of busywork.
Maybe somebody can contribute some automation?

example create release from tag using github action is shown in: https://github.com/maarten-boot/test-scan-only/blob/main/.github/workflows/create-release.yml

Sorry, but I do not care enough to spend my time implementing this. If anybody wants released tarballs then please submit a complete patch.

To implement automated gh release it needs to be somewhere implanted release proces to add necessary modifications.

If anybody wants released tarballs then please submit a complete patch.

This RFE has nothing to to with any tar balls.
It is only about generate gh release which spreads email notification.

So, what is requested here? Do you want ready-to-use builds for different platforms? Which platforms should they be for? I will prepare a workflow next weekend.

I think that creating the GH release with a source archive when a version tag is pushed to the master branch is enough for a start, thank you.
