These are Bdale's notes on how to do a release.
- update the version in configure.ac and commit
-
- git tag -a <version>
-
- git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new
-
- use --git-ignore-new so trash in checked-out tree doesn't
- cause the build to fail!
-
- at this point, we have Debian packages
+ git checkout master
+
+ - make sure the Google Maps API key is in the build chroot
+ mkdir -p /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow/opt/google
+ cp ~/altusmetrumllc/google-maps-api-key \
+ /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow/opt/google/maps-api-key
+ - 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)
+
+ - get a Google Maps API key and install it in
+ ~/altusmetrumllc/google-maps-api-key. If you don't have a
+ key, the app will still work, but downloading map tiles will
+ be slow, and you will only be able to download a limited
+ number per day.
+
+ - update the version in configure.ac
+ git log > ChangeLog
+ git commit -a
+
+ - make absolutely sure checked-out tree is "clean"
+ - make absolutely sure the pdclib/ submodule is on the master branch,
+ up to date, and "clean"
+
+ - if this is an x.y release, then:
+ git checkout -b branch-<version>
+ git tag -a <version>
+ - edit .git/gbp.conf to use branch-<version> as upstream
+
+ - 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
+
+ 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 --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
+ git-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
./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
- - 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
+ # store a stable copy of ARM binaries for production use
+ cp src/easymini-v1.0/*.elf \
+ src/telegps-v1.0/*.elf \
+ src/telemega-v1.0/*.elf \
+ src/telemetrum-v2.0/*.elf \
+ ~/altusmetrumllc/Binaries/
+ cp src/easymini-v1.0/flash-loader/*.elf \
+ src/telegps-v1.0/flash-loader/*.elf \
+ src/telemega-v1.0/flash-loader/*.elf \
+ src/telemetrum-v2.0/flash-loader/*.elf \
+ ~/altusmetrumllc/Binaries/loaders/
+ (cd ~/altusmetrumllc ; git add Binaries ; git commit -a)
+
+ - copy the relevant release notes file from doc/ to
+ /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>
+
+ - create /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/MicroPeak/releases/<rev>,
+ and move the MicroPeak installers from AltOS/releases to there
+
+ - create /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/TeleGPS/releases/<rev>,
+ and move the MicroPeak installers from AltOS/releases to there
+
+ - go edit ~/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>.mdwn,
+ /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/MicroPeak/releases/<rev>.mdwn, and
+ /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/TeleGPS/releases/<rev>.mdwn, to
+ include release date and explicit ref to dir contents so the
+ web pages 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-<version> debian pristine-tar
+ git push --tags
- leave the build tree in an unclutterd state
+ push commits and leave the build tree in an uncluttered state
