2. **How to build Sonic, package it and release it on Crates, GitHub, Docker Hub and Packagecloud (multiple architectures):**
    1. Tag the latest Git commit corresponding to the release with tag `v1.0.0`, and push the tag
    2. Wait for all release jobs to complete on the [actions](https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic/actions) page on GitHub
    3. Download all release archives, and sign them locally using: `./scripts/sign_binaries.sh --version=1.0.0`
    4. Publish a changelog and upload all the built archives, as well as their signatures on the [releases](https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic/releases) page on GitHub
