Description

According to https://help.nextcloud.com/t/creation-of-prereleases/142744 we could push out pre-releases to beta testers and also nightly releases.

  • Make deploy scripts compatible with a release suffix (like 1.2.3-rc1)
  • Make deploy scripts capable of generating nightly releases
  • Prepare a workflow for nightly release generation

Research direction

Start by reviewing the deploy scripts and the existing release workflow, using the completed release-suffix work as context. Implement the two unchecked checklist items: nightly release generation and a workflow to run it. Done means nightly releases can be generated reliably without regressing prerelease support.
