1 These are Bdale's notes on how to do a release.
4 - update the version in configure.ac
7 - make absolutely sure checked-out tree is "clean"
8 - if this is an x.y release, then:
9 git checkout -b branch-<version>
11 - if this is an x.y.z release, then:
12 git checkout branch-<version> # the x.y parts only
14 git tag -a <version> # full x.y.z version
16 - edit .git/gbp.conf to use branch-<version> as upstream if needed
19 git merge branch-<version>
21 - verify debian/changelog is "clean" ending in last release version
22 - craft a suitable debian/changelog entry, possibly using:
23 git-dch --release --new-version=<version>-1 --multimaint-merge
25 git commit -n debian/changelog -m "update changelog for Debian build"
27 git-buildpackage --git-no-pristine-tar
28 pristine-tar commit ../build-area/altos/altos_<version>.orig.tar.gz
29 git tag debian/<version>
31 - at this point we have packages in ~/debian/build-area/altos, now
32 we move on to the non-Debian part of the release process
36 ./autogen.sh --with-fat-dir=/home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases
39 this pushes packages for each platform to web site
41 - copy the relevant release notes file from doc/ to
42 /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>
44 - make sure that doc/altusmetrum.xsl has the right copyright year,
45 and add release to the revision history at the front (release notes
46 will be pulled in automatically)
48 - go edit ~/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>.mdwn to include
49 release date and explicit ref to dir contents so the AltOS page
50 shows versioned links, commit and push
52 (cd doc ; make publish)
54 this pushes fresh documents to the web site
56 sudo debian/rules clean
60 push commits and leave the build tree in an uncluttered state
62 Testing before a release
64 To verify that a build works, the following need to be checked
69 2) Connect TM *and* TD devices. Verify that you can Monitor
70 Flight from the TD and Configure Telemetrum from the TM.
72 3) Replay Flight, using your favorite .eeprom file. Check
73 each tab, especially the 'Site Map' tab. Make sure the
76 4) Graph Data. Graph a favorite .eeprom file. Make sure you
77 can zoom in on some region of the graph.
