Workflow release.yml trigger: cross-project consistency/alignment

release.yml Trigger Configuration Analysis

Summary

Analysis of release.yml workflow configuration across all 6 WAMP Python projects.

Project	Trigger Workflows	release-development if: condition	runs-on
txaio	["main"]	release_type == 'development' || release_type == 'nightly'	ubuntu-latest
autobahn-python	["wheels", "wheels-docker", "wheels-arm64", "wstest", "main"]	release_type == 'development'	ubuntu-latest
zlmdb	["wheels", "wheels-docker", "wheels-arm64", "main"]	release_type == 'development' || release_type == 'nightly'	ubuntu-latest
cfxdb	["main"]	release_type == 'development' || release_type == 'nightly'	ubuntu-24.04
wamp-xbr	["main"]	release_type == 'development' || release_type == 'nightly'	ubuntu-24.04
crossbar	["main"]	release_type == 'development' || release_type == 'nightly'	ubuntu-24.04

Inconsistencies Found

1. autobahn-python missing nightly condition

Issue: autobahn-python only checks release_type == 'development', missing || release_type == 'nightly'

Current (autobahn-python):

if: |
  needs.check-all-workflows.outputs.all_complete == 'true' &&
  (github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' ||
   (github.event_name == 'workflow_run' && github.event.workflow_run.conclusion == 'success')) &&
  needs.identifiers.outputs.release_type == 'development'

Should be (aligned with other projects):

if: |
  needs.check-all-workflows.outputs.all_complete == 'true' &&
  (github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' ||
   (github.event_name == 'workflow_run' && github.event.workflow_run.conclusion == 'success')) &&
  (needs.identifiers.outputs.release_type == 'development' || needs.identifiers.outputs.release_type == 'nightly')

2. Trigger workflows differ (intentional)

This is expected and intentional:

• Pure Python packages (txaio, cfxdb, wamp-xbr, crossbar): Only need ["main"]
• Native wheel packages (autobahn-python, zlmdb): Need multiple wheel workflows + main

3. runs-on differs

• Older configs: ubuntu-latest
• Newer configs: ubuntu-24.04

Recommendation: Standardize on ubuntu-24.04 for consistency and explicit version control.

Action Items

• Fix autobahn-python: Add || release_type == 'nightly' to release-development condition
• Consider standardizing runs-on: ubuntu-24.04 across all projects
