Please sign release 1.4.0-rc1

[innir]

Hi,

as your previous release where signed, please also sign 1.4.0-rc1 - I would want to package it for Debian but my scripts do check the signature and thus fail at the moment.

Thanks! Philip

@annejan May I gently ping you on that ... or even propose to release 1.4.0 (Debian freeze is approaching end of this year and I'd love to have a new version included). BTW: Thanks for all your great work!

I was looking into something similar. OpenSUSE is stuck on 1.3.2. Please sign 1.4.0.

Are there any reasons for not releasing 1.4.0?

[annejan]

The only reason is time and energy . . . . I'll try and craft a release tomorrow.

[Thaodan]

Thank you very much.

PS: In case you create testing releases in the future please don't use a dash in them, something like .99 or similar is better, a dash is an illegal character in most build systems.

Current issue is that https://www.travis-ci.com/ stopped their "Free for OpenSource" policy. The Linux and macOS builds were handled by Travis.

I'm looking for a way to create those with GitHub Actions.

Sorry for the delay.

[Thaodan]

I can help with Linux builds, we can build them on the OpenSUSE OBS.

Would https://circleci.com/open-source/ help?

@annejan Thanks for releasing 1.4.0 :-) And also thanks for signing the release - but could you please explicitly upload the file you signed? GitHub changed what's hidden behind the Source code (tar.gz) in the past, which would break the signature. Not uploading that file explicitly also breaks the way Debian fetches new releases and makes it hard to verify the signature.

[annejan]

Done and thanks @innir, I have updated my procedures!
