1. Return to the Cirrus-CI Build page for the new release tag, confirm
(or wait for) it to complete, re-running any failed tasks as appropriate.
1. For anything other than an RC, the release artifacts need to be published along
with the release. These can be built locally using:

```shell
$ git checkout vX.Y.Z
$ make release-artifacts
```

1. In the directory where you downloaded the archives, run
`sha256sum *.tar.gz *.zip > shasums` to generate SHA sums.

1. Near the bottom of the page there is a box with the message
“Add binaries by dropping them here or selecting them”. Use
that to upload the artifacts in the `release/` dir generated earlier,
as well as the two Mac pkginstallers:

* podman-remote-release-darwin_amd64.zip

release-artifacts, upload-win-installer, and mac-pkg GitHub Actions
should automatically take care of building, signing, and uploading artifacts.
Check the "Actions" tab, after publishing you should see the jobs running.
There may be more than one running due to the multiple
event states triggered, but this can be ignored, as any duplicates
will gracefully back-off. The job takes 5-6 minutes to complete.
1. Confirm the podman-[version]-setup.exe file is now on the release
page. This might not be the case if you accidentally published the
release before uploading the binaries, as the job may look before
they are available. If that happens, you can either manually kick
off the job (see below), or just make a harmless edit to the
release (e.g. add an extra whitespace character somewhere). As
long as the body content is different in some way, a new run will
be triggered.

## Manually Triggering Windows Installer Build & Upload

triggered after the artifact action succeeds.

dialog that appears

## Manually Triggering Mac Installer Build & Upload
