Hi everyone,

We are happy to announce the release of opam-publish 2.7.0 (and 2.6.0), which together brought the ability to more easily publish your releases automatically, thanks to @filipeom:

  • A new OPAM_PUBLISH_GH_TOKEN environment variable and --token argument are now available to pass the GitHub token

  • SSH keys aren’t used to push the branch to the user’s fork anymore. Instead the token we already require is used.

  • If undefined, the git config variables user.name and user.email are automatically filled with the github username and username@opam-publish as a backup

An example of the new automated setup can be found in this CI job.

Other minor changes include:

  • The addition of a message after the PR is open, to notify users that they can re-run opam-publish to update the PR. Thanks to @punchagan

  • The switch from lwt_ssl to tls-lwt which avoid one dependency and avoid depending on the system libssl

Happy publishing!
