For releases you should first have a tagged release on the containerd repository.
Afterwards test if you can actually build the release with (for example):
make REF=${TAG} docker.io/library/ubuntu:24.04
If you can actually build the package then start prepping
your release by adding an entry in the debian/changelog
with the
format:
./scripts/new-deb-release <VERSION>
This will add an entry into the changelog for the specified VERSION and will also increment the debian packaging version if the specified VERSION is already there.
NOTE: Make sure to fill out the bullets for the changelog
Releases can then be built with:
make REF=${TAG} docker.io/library/ubuntu:24.04
or
make REF=${TAG} BUILD_IMAGE=docker.io/library/ubuntu:24.04
