Release Process

This document describes how to create a new release of hyprvoice.

Automated Release Process

1. Create a Release Tag

# Make sure you're on main branch with latest changes
git checkout main
git pull origin main

# Create and push a version tag
git tag v0.1.0
git push origin v0.1.0

2. GitHub Actions Automatically:

• ✅ Builds the binary with CGO for Linux x86_64
• ✅ Runs all tests
• ✅ Creates a GitHub release with changelog
• ✅ Uploads hyprvoice-linux-x86_64 binary
• ✅ Generates and uploads SHA256 checksums

3. Update AUR Package

cd packaging/
./update-aur.sh 0.1.0

That's it! The script handles everything:

• Updates PKGBUILD version and checksums
• Copies files to AUR repository
• Generates .SRCINFO
• Tests the build
• Commits and pushes to AUR (with confirmation)

Manual Release (if needed)
