| # We have a choice - defensiveness vs convenience: | |
| # 1. Be defensive by filtering if the release doesn't look like a normal | |
| # version, or if it's a patch release to an older version... the logic | |
| # gets tricky quickly. Easiest way to be 100% sure is stop running this | |
| # on `release` and instead require a human to manually run this workflow | |
| # after they tag a release. | |
| # 2. Minimize the upfront hassle by assuming every release is a normal | |
| # version release and the latest one. Today both are resoundingly true | |
| # as this repo isn't that active/busy, so we don't worry about | |
| # multiple release branches, pre-releases, etc. | |
| # | |
| # For now I've gone with option 2, as it is much more convenient and if we | |
| # typo something during a release it's easy to fix by immediately tagging a | |
| # correct release. And if we don't notice the typo, well, in that case | |
| # requiring a human to manually run the workflow wouldn't have protected us | |
| # either, we'd have had to filter by only things that look like versions. | |
| # Anyway, for now this is good enough, and if it gets to be a problem down | |
| # the road we increase the robustness of this. | |
