Nick Craig-Wood 1ce0b45965 build: Stop tagged releases making a current beta - fixes #4789

Before this change stable releases updated the current beta which mean
confusingly the current beta release would jump backwards from
1.54.0-beta to 1.53.3-beta say.

This commit stops any tagged build making a current beta release. They
will still make beta releases, they just won't update the
rclone*current*.zip and version.txt files.

This also means that a .0 release will not make a current beta like it
does at the moment.

Release

This file describes how to make the various kinds of releases

Extra required software for making a release

github-release for uploading packages
pandoc for making the html and man pages

Making a release

git checkout master # see below for stable branch
git pull
git status - make sure everything is checked in
Check GitHub actions build for master is Green
make test # see integration test server or run locally
make tag
edit docs/content/changelog.md # make sure to remove duplicate logs from point releases
make tidy
make doc
git status - to check for new man pages - git add them
git commit -a -v -m "Version v1.XX.0"
make retag
git push --follow-tags origin
Wait for the GitHub builds to complete then...
make fetch_binaries
make tarball
make vendorball
make sign_upload
make check_sign
make upload
make upload_website
make upload_github
make startdev # make startstable for stable branch
announce with forum post, twitter post, patreon post

Early in the next release cycle update the dependencies

Review any pinned packages in go.mod and remove if possible
make update
git status
git add new files
git commit -a -v

Making a point release

If rclone needs a point release due to some horrendous bug:

Set vars

BASE_TAG=v1.XX # e.g. v1.52
NEW_TAG=${BASE_TAG}.Y # e.g. v1.52.1
echo $BASE_TAG $NEW_TAG # v1.52 v1.52.1

First make the release branch. If this is a second point release then this will be done already.

git branch ${BASE_TAG} ${BASE_TAG}-stable
git co ${BASE_TAG}-stable
make startstable

Now

git co ${BASE_TAG}-stable
git cherry-pick any fixes
Do the steps as above
make startstable
git co master
# cherry pick the changes to the changelog - check the diff to make sure it is correct
git checkout ${BASE_TAG}-stable docs/content/changelog.md
git commit -a -v -m "Changelog updates from Version ${NEW_TAG}"
git push

Making a manual build of docker

The rclone docker image should autobuild on via GitHub actions. If it doesn't or needs to be updated then rebuild like this.

docker pull golang
docker build --rm --ulimit memlock=67108864  -t rclone/rclone:1.52.0 -t rclone/rclone:1.52 -t rclone/rclone:1 -t rclone/rclone:latest .
docker push rclone/rclone:1.52.0
docker push rclone/rclone:1.52
docker push rclone/rclone:1
docker push rclone/rclone:latest
