Is there a script that's public that you use for tagging the QEMU
release? I see make-release in scripts/, but that's for creating the
tarballs after the tagging has been done.
I use this script:

Thanks!
I am looking into being able to cut releases for our Python QMP library,
but due to constraints in the Python packaging ecosystem I have not yet
been able to solve, it requires its own VERSION file.
It would be nice if when 5.2.0 is tagged that "0.5.2.0" could be written
into ./python/VERSION as well.
I'm pretty strongly against having the version hardcoded
anywhere except the top level VERSION file. Everything else
should read the information from there.
Yeah, I know. I don't want to do it either, but I don't see an
alternative that works with Python packaging tooling right now.
The problem is that whenever you run an install, (which runs a python
"build"), the source is copied out into a temp directory where it loses
all access to the parent directory and any knowledge of .git.
Perhaps someone has a solution, but I've not found one yet. The authors
of pip are aware of the problem and are working on a solution, but we
don't have one yet.
thanks
