In the future it seems like a good idea to automate the release process even more.

We are already building and testing the various .deb packages on travis. According to the documentation [1] it should be easy to automatically upload these to a new GitHub release whenever a new tag is created.

The same goes for the pip/wheel package. With a bit of work we might be able to compile SG++ with the manylinux2010 setup [2] and thus have a package that is accepted and automatically pushed to the PyPi repository.
