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>
41 ../build-area/altos_<version>.orig.tar.gz \
43 else if this is not a -1 release
44 git-buildpackage --git-submodules
46 git tag debian/<version>
48 - at this point we have packages in ~/debian/build-area/altos, now
49 we move on to the non-Debian part of the release process
53 ./autogen.sh --with-fat-dir=/home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases
56 this pushes packages for each platform to web site
58 - copy the relevant release notes file from doc/ to
59 /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>
61 - create /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/MicroPeak/releases/<rev>,
62 and move the MicroPeak installers from AltOS/releases to there
64 - go edit ~/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>.mdwn and
65 /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/MicroPeak/releases/<rev>.mdwn, to
66 include release date and explicit ref to dir contents so the
67 web pages shows versioned links, commit and push
69 (cd doc ; make publish)
71 this pushes fresh documents to the web site
73 sudo debian/rules clean
74 git push origin master branch-<version> debian
77 push commits and leave the build tree in an uncluttered state
79 Testing before a release
81 To verify that a build works, the following need to be checked
86 2) Connect TM *and* TD devices. Verify that you can Monitor
87 Flight from the TD and Configure Telemetrum from the TM.
89 3) Replay Flight, using your favorite .eeprom file. Check
90 each tab, especially the 'Site Map' tab. Make sure the
93 4) Graph Data. Graph a favorite .eeprom file. Make sure you
94 can zoom in on some region of the graph.
