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.

|
|
|
#### (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.
