Research direction
Examine the existing release process in the repository. Look at the referenced issue https://github.com/tectonic typesetting/tectonic/issues/54 for similar automation. Review the Travis CI deployment documentation at https://docs.travis ci.com/user/deployment/releases/ to understand how to integrate. Consider modifying the PKGBUILD file and adding a script to update version numbers on tag.
