+These are Keith's notes on how to do a release
+
+ - update the version and date in configure.ac if Bdale hasn't already
+
+ - follow instructions in doc/RELNOTES
+
+ - make sure there is a doc/release-notes-<version>.inc
+
+ - make sure doc/release-notes.inc points at that
+
+ - make sure doc/Makefile points at that too
+
+ - make sure that doc/altusmetrum-docinfo.xml has the right copyright
+ year, and add release to the revision history at the front (release
+ notes will be pulled in by release-notes.inc)
+
These are Bdale's notes on how to do a release.
- update the version in configure.ac and commit
+ - make sure build environment is up to date
+ sudo cowbuilder --update
- git tag -a <version>
+ - ensure i386 build support is available, and we have tools to build
+ installers for Windows and Mac OS X
- - make sure checked-out tree is "clean" so git won't complain
+ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
+ sudo apt update
+ sudo apt install gcc-multilib genisoimage nsis
+ (need some mingw packages too, but not sure which offhand)
- git-buildpackage
+ - make sure ~/web/altusmetrum has no pending pullable commits
- at this point, we have Debian packages
+ git checkout master
- git tag debian/<version>
+ - update the version in configure.ac if Keith hasn't already
+
+ - if this is an x.y release, then:
+ git checkout -b branch-<version>
+
+ - if this is an x.y.z release, then:
+ git checkout branch-<version> # the x.y parts only
+ - cherry-pick or merge appropriate content from master
+
+ - make sure there is a doc/release-notes-<version>.inc
+ - make sure that doc/altusmetrum-docinfo.xml has the right copyright
+ year, and add release to the revision history at the front (release
+ notes will be pulled in automatically)
+ - make absolutely sure checked-out tree is "clean"
+ - make absolutely sure the pdclib/ submodule is on the master branch,
+ up to date, and "clean"
+
+ git log > ChangeLog
+ git commit -a
+ git tag -a <version> # full x.y.z version
- make distclean
+ - make sure .git/gbp.conf set to use branch-<version> as upstream
- ./autogen.sh --with-fat-dir=/home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases
- make fat
+ git checkout debian
+ git merge branch-<version>
- this pushes packages for each platform to web site
+ - verify debian/changelog is "clean" ending in last release version
+ - craft a suitable debian/changelog entry, possibly using:
+ gbp dch --release --multimaint-merge --new-version=<version>-1
- - copy the relevant release notes file from doc/ to
- /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>
+ git commit -n debian/changelog -m "update changelog for Debian build"
- - 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
+ - if this is a -1 release, then
+ gbp buildpackage --git-no-pristine-tar --git-submodules \
+ --git-upstream-branch=branch-<version> \ # eg 1.3
+ --git-upstream-tag=<version> # eg 1.3.1
+ pristine-tar commit \
+ ../build-area/altos_<version>.orig.tar.gz \
+ branch-<version>
+ else if this is not a -1 release
+ gbp buildpackage --git-submodules
+ 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 (just to be sure, this should do nothing)
+
+ ./autogen.sh --enable-multi-arch \
+ --with-fat-dir=/home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/
+ make && make fat
+
+ - store a stable copy of ARM binaries for production use

+ (cd ~/altusmetrumllc ; git add Binaries ; git commit -a)
+ - remove previous versions (only keep latest release)
+ (cd ~/altusmetrumllc ; git push)
+
+ - Push new release to web site
+
+ make fat-install
(cd doc ; make publish)
- this pushes fresh documents to the web site
+ (cd ~/web/altusmetrum/ && \
+ git add */releases && git commit -m'Release <rev>' && \
+ git push origin master)
+
+ - upload the Debian package
+
+ - clean up
sudo debian/rules clean
- git push
+ 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
projects / fw / altos / blobdiff
