1 These are Bdale's notes on how to do a release.
5 - make sure there is a doc/release-notes-<version>.xsl
6 - make sure that doc/altusmetrum.xsl has the right copyright year,
7 and add release to the revision history at the front (release notes
8 will be pulled in automatically)
10 - update the version in configure.ac
14 - make absolutely sure checked-out tree is "clean"
15 - make absolutely sure the pdclib/ submodule is on the master branch,
16 up to date, and "clean"
18 - if this is an x.y release, then:
19 git checkout -b branch-<version>
21 - edit .git/gbp.conf to use branch-<version> as upstream
23 - if this is an x.y.z release, then:
24 git checkout branch-<version> # the x.y parts only
26 git tag -a <version> # full x.y.z version
29 git merge branch-<version>
31 - verify debian/changelog is "clean" ending in last release version
32 - craft a suitable debian/changelog entry, possibly using:
33 git-dch --release --new-version=<version>-1 --multimaint-merge
35 git commit -n debian/changelog -m "update changelog for Debian build"
37 - if this is a -1 release, then
38 git-buildpackage --git-no-pristine-tar --git-submodules \
39 --git-upstream-branch=branch-<version> \ # eg 1.3
40 --git-upstream-tag=<version> # eg 1.3.1
42 ../build-area/altos_<version>.orig.tar.gz \
44 else if this is not a -1 release
45 git-buildpackage --git-submodules
47 git tag debian/<version>
49 - at this point we have packages in ~/debian/build-area/altos, now
50 we move on to the non-Debian part of the release process
54 ./autogen.sh --with-fat-dir=/home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases
57 this pushes packages for each platform to web site
59 - copy the relevant release notes file from doc/ to
60 /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>
62 - create /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/MicroPeak/releases/<rev>,
63 and move the MicroPeak installers from AltOS/releases to there
65 - go edit ~/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>.mdwn and
66 /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/MicroPeak/releases/<rev>.mdwn, to
67 include release date and explicit ref to dir contents so the
68 web pages shows versioned links, commit and push
70 (cd doc ; make publish)
72 this pushes fresh documents to the web site
74 sudo debian/rules clean
75 git push origin master branch-<version> debian pristine-tar
78 push commits and leave the build tree in an uncluttered state
80 Testing before a release
82 To verify that a build works, the following need to be checked
87 2) Connect TM *and* TD devices. Verify that you can Monitor
88 Flight from the TD and Configure Telemetrum from the TM.
90 3) Replay Flight, using your favorite .eeprom file. Check
91 each tab, especially the 'Site Map' tab. Make sure the
94 4) Graph Data. Graph a favorite .eeprom file. Make sure you
95 can zoom in on some region of the graph.
