+These are Keith's notes on how to do a release
+
+ - update the version and date in configure.ac if Bdale hasn't already
+
+ - update the ANDROID_VERSION in configure.ac if releasing AltosDroid
+
+ - follow instructions in doc/RELNOTES

+
+ - make sure doc/Makefile points at that too
+
+ - confirm doc/header.inc has correct copyright year

These are Bdale's notes on how to do a release.
- - make sure there's a suitable ARM Cortex toolchain in /opt/cortex!
+ - make sure Debian build environment is up to date
+ sudo cowbuilder --update
+
+ - make sure fat build environment is up to date
+ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt autoremove
+
+ - ensure i386 build support is available, and we have tools to build
+ installers for Windows and Mac OS X
+
+ sudo apt update
+ sudo apt install genisoimage nsis \
+ gcc-i686-linux-gnu gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu \
+ gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf \
+ gcc-mingw-w64-i686-posix gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64-win32
+
+ - make sure jsign is installed so we can sign Windows installers:
+
+ https://github.com/ebourg/jsign/releases/download/5.0/jsign_5.0_all.deb
+
+ - make sure ~/web/altusmetrum has no pending pullable commits
git checkout master
- - 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)
+ - update the version in configure.ac if Keith hasn't already
- - 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
+ - cherry-pick or merge appropriate content from master
+
+ - make sure there is a doc/release-notes-<version>.inc
+ - make sure that doc/*.txt have the right copyright year and the
+ new release is included
+ - confirm doc/header.inc has correct copyright year
+ - make absolutely sure checked-out tree is "clean"
+ - make absolutely sure any commits Keith might have pushed to branches
+ like debian are already pulled
+
+ git log > ChangeLog
+ git commit -a -m'update ChangeLog for <version> release'
+ git tag -a <version> -m'Releasing <version>' # full x.y.z version
- - edit .git/gbp.conf to use branch-<version> as upstream if needed
+ - make sure .git/gbp.conf set to use branch-<version> as upstream
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
+ export EMAIL=bdale@gag.com
+ gbp dch --release --multimaint-merge --new-version=<version>-1
git commit -n debian/changelog -m "update changelog for Debian build"
- if this is a -1 release, then
- git-buildpackage --git-no-pristine-tar
+ gbp buildpackage --git-no-pristine-tar \
+ --git-upstream-branch=branch-<version> \ # eg 1.3
+ --git-upstream-tag=<version> # eg 1.3.1
pristine-tar commit \
- ../build-area/altos/altos_<version>.orig.tar.gz \
+ ../build-area/altos_<version>.orig.tar.gz \
branch-<version>
else if this is not a -1 release
- git-buildpackage
+ gbp 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
+ make distclean (just to be sure, this should do nothing)
- ./autogen.sh --with-fat-dir=/home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases
+ ./autogen.sh --enable-multi-arch \
+ --with-fat-dir=/home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/
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>
+ - store a stable copy of ARM binaries for production use

+ - Push new release to web site
+
+ make fat-install
+ (cd doc ; make publish)
- - 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 ~/web/altusmetrum/ && \
+ git add */releases && git commit -m'Release <rev>' && \
+ git push origin master)
- (cd doc ; make publish)
+ - upload the Debian package
- this pushes fresh documents to the web site
+ - clean up
sudo debian/rules clean
- git push origin master branch-1.1 debian
+ git push origin master branch-<version> debian pristine-tar
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
