These are Bdale's notes on how to do a release.
- update the version in configure.ac and commit
+ git checkout master
- git tag -a <version>
+ - make sure there is a doc/release-notes-<version>.xsl
+ - make sure that doc/altusmetrum.xsl has the right copyright year,
+ and add release to the revision history at the front (release notes
+ will be pulled in automatically)
- git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new
+ - update the version in configure.ac
+ git log > ChangeLog
+ git commit -a
+ - make absolutely sure checked-out tree is "clean"
+ - if this is an x.y release, then:
+ git checkout -b branch-<version>
+ git tag -a <version>
+ - if this is an x.y.z release, then:
+ git checkout branch-<version> # the x.y parts only
+ git merge master
+ git tag -a <version> # full x.y.z version
- use --git-ignore-new so trash in checked-out tree doesn't
- cause the build to fail!
+ - edit .git/gbp.conf to use branch-<version> as upstream if needed
- at this point, we have Debian packages
+ git checkout debian
+ git merge branch-<version>
+
+ - verify debian/changelog is "clean" ending in last release version
+ - craft a suitable debian/changelog entry, possibly using:
+ git-dch --release --new-version=<version>-1 --multimaint-merge
+
+ git commit -n debian/changelog -m "update changelog for Debian build"
+
+ - if this is a -1 release, then
+ git-buildpackage --git-no-pristine-tar
+ pristine-tar commit \
+ ../build-area/altos/altos_<version>.orig.tar.gz \
+ branch-<version>
+ else if this is not a -1 release
+ git-buildpackage
+
+ git tag debian/<version>
+
+ - at this point we have packages in ~/debian/build-area/altos, now
+ we move on to the non-Debian part of the release process
make distclean
./autogen.sh --with-fat-dir=/home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases
- make fat
+ make && make fat
this pushes packages for each platform to web site
+ - copy the relevant release notes file from doc/ to
+ /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>
+
- go edit ~/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>.mdwn to include
release date and explicit ref to dir contents so the AltOS page
shows versioned links, commit and push
(cd doc ; make publish)
this pushes fresh documents to the web site
+
+ sudo debian/rules clean
+ git push origin master branch-1.1 debian
+ git push --tags
+
+ push commits and leave the build tree in an uncluttered state
+
+Testing before a release
+
+ To verify that a build works, the following need to be checked
+ on each platform:
+
+ 1) Install package
+
+ 2) Connect TM *and* TD devices. Verify that you can Monitor
+ Flight from the TD and Configure Telemetrum from the TM.
+
+ 3) Replay Flight, using your favorite .eeprom file. Check
+ each tab, especially the 'Site Map' tab. Make sure the
+ sound works.
+
+ 4) Graph Data. Graph a favorite .eeprom file. Make sure you
+ can zoom in on some region of the graph.
