Final github.com publishing things

[smoser]

#5 got publishing of releases over to github.
But there are a few other things that I was still (manually) doing when I did a release:

a.) updating https://download.cirros-cloud.net/version/devel and version/released files.
These are just "latest" files and simple text. Easy to update.

b.) updating stream data
bin/mirror-dump-sstream-data usage shows how I would do this:

    # this is now moved to git
    $ git clone https://git.launchpad.net/simplestreams
    $ git clone https://github.com/cirros-dev/cirros.git

    $ ./cirros/bin/mirror-dump-sstream-data "\$mirror_d" > mdata.txt
    $ ./simplestreams/tools/tenv tab2streams mdata.txt cirros-streams.d

    $ ./simplestreams/tools/tenv env -u GNUPGHOME \
       $ SS_GPG_BATCH=1 SS_GPG_DEFAULT_KEY=A5DDB840  \
       $ js2signed cirros-streams.d

Unfortunately, mirror-dump-sstream-data basically required access to
all the content so it can generate sums.

sstream data is basically an index of content available. Ubuntu uses it to distribute images. For cirros, the most obvious benefit is the ability to add it as an lxc remote. See 888e7f3 for example.

https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/build-stages/ could be rescue.

Steps:

• build + deploy artifacts
• fetch artifacts + md5sum + whatever-with-files + deploy MD5SUMS and whatever-needed

Noticed that this is an outstanding issue.

I was wondering if we wanted to include md5 checksums in the CI pipeline for 0.6.0 @hrw? Does not look to be that complicated, but we could generate the checksums in either bin/build-release, or in the GitHub Actions workflow and then upload them with the other artifacts. Let me know your thoughts.

I think that generation of checksums for release should be part of CI workflow.

Sounds good. That's what I was thinking too. I'll see about adding it as part of the workflow as a step.

just came across this issue as it seems that http://download.cirros-cloud.net/version/released is not being updated for the latest 0.6.2 release. @smoser might i kindly ask you to look into this again or at least manually update the released file?
