Release helpers

tools/add-release.py is a script that allow adding a release to the appstream file prior to tagging.

Usage

$ ./tools/add-release.py 25.04.7.8.1 com.collaboraoffice.Office.metainfo.xml

This will add release 25.04.7.8.1 with today's date in the appstream file com.collaboraoffice.Office.metainfo.xml

Options are:

• -d or --date to pass the date string to use.
• -c or --changelog to use the changelog entry from a file.

The expected changelog data should follow appstream description element.

<description>
<p>Foo</p>
<ul>
<li>Something</li>
</ul>
</description>

Debugging

Some useful environment variable settings are QT_LOGGING_RULES= to always get JS console warnings and errors (even when running without a --debug command line argument) and QT_MESSAGE_PATTERN=%{if-category}%{category}: %{endif}%{file}:%{line}: %{message} to get JS console warnings and errors that contain file and line information.
