Implements the full release flow: a single script builds both deb and rpm
packages, signs the RPM payload, generates and clearsigns SHA256SUMS, uploads
to the Gitea package registry (deb to bookworm/jammy/noble pools, rpm to the
fenris group), creates a Gitea release entry with notes, and attaches all
artifacts.
Key changes:
- scripts/release.sh: new release script with --dry-run and --publish modes
- tests/test_release.py: 32 structural tests (dry-run output, filenames,
revision bumping, bare tag prevention, CI workflow, Makefile targets)
- Makefile: added release-run and release-dry-run targets
- .gitea/workflows/release.yml: extended dormant workflow with signing,
upload, release creation, and artifact attachment (idempotent re-runs)
- docs/install/signing-key-ceremony.md: added one-time live probe section
documenting throwaway package publish, apt/dnf verification, and cleanup
Acceptance criteria met:
- One release command performs build, sign, publish, and attach
- Dry-run mode prints every command; tests assert output without network
- Revision bumping on 409 (same-version rebuilds increment release number)
- Dormant CI workflow replicates the flow (queues harmlessly without runner)
- Live probe documented with throwaway package end-to-end
- No bare tags: release API creates tag atomically with release entry
