The Calamares release process
=============================
#### (0) A week in advance
* Run [Coverity scan][coverity], fix what's relevant. The Coverity scan runs
automatically once a week on master.
* Build with clang -Weverything, fix what's relevant.
```
rm -rf build ; mkdir build ; cd build
CC=clang CXX=clang++ cmake .. && make
```
* Make sure all tests pass.
```
make
make test
```
Note that *all* means all-that-make-sense. The partition-manager tests need
an additional environment variable to be set for some tests, which will
destroy an attached disk. This is not always desirable.
* Notify [translators][transifex]. In the dashboard there is an *Announcements*
link that you can use to send a translation announcement.

[transifex]: https://www.transifex.com/calamares/calamares/dashboard/
#### (1) Preparation
* Check `README.md` and everything in `hacking`, make sure it's all still
relevant. Run `hacking/calamaresstyle` to check the C++ code style.
Python code is checked as part of the Travis CI builds.
* Update submodules.
```
git submodule # Note list of submodules
git submodule update thirdparty/libcrashreporter-qt
```
* Check defaults in `settings.conf` and other configuration files.
* Pull latest translations from Transifex. This is done nightly on Jenkins,
so a manual pull is rarely necessary.
* Update the list of enabled translation languages in `CMakeLists.txt`.
Check the [translation site][transifex] for the list of languages with
fairly complete translations.
* Bump version in `CMakeLists.txt`, *CALAMARES_VERSION* variables, and set
RC to a non-zero value (e.g. doing -rc1, -rc2, ...). Push that.
#### (2) Tarball
* Create tarball: `git-archive-all -v calamares-1.1-rc1.tar.gz` . Double check
that the tarball matches the version number.
* Test tarball.
#### (3) Tag
* `git tag -s v1.1.0` Make sure the signing key is known in GitHub, so that the
tag is shown as a verified tag. Do not sign -rc tags.
* Generate MD5 and SHA256 checksums.
* Upload tarball.
* Announce on mailing list, notify packagers.
* Write release article.
#### (4) Release day
* Publish tarball.
* Update download page.
* Publish release article on `calamares.io`.
* Publicize on social networks.
* Update release date on JIRA.
* Publish blog post.
