Pony Release Process

Goal

• Be able to release a version of Pony compiler quickly and easily.
• Release ponyc more often.

Release process

• There is a dedicated branch in ponyc repo for each major version of the compiler.
• Each time a commit is push on these branch it triggers a Travis job that try to build a version of ponyc for each latest linux OS families (archlinux, fedora, debian).
• Build are done in a docker container for Linux.
• If a commit with name Pony Release X.X.X is push on these branch it will build and release ponyc and push the packages on github release page.

Next

• Improve error messages at for release script
• Do the same for windows and OS X but without the docker container.
• Push ponyc builded on OS repository (brew, chocolatey, nuget, apt, pacman, dnf).
• Try to build a ponyc version package for other platform I386, ARM ?
