# Calamares Release Process
|
|
|
|
> Calamares releases are now rolling when-they-are-ready releases.
|
|
> Releases are made from *master* and tagged there. When, in future,
|
|
> LTS releases resume, these steps may be edited again.
|
|
>
|
|
> Most things are automated through the release script [RELEASE.sh](RELEASE.sh)
|
|
|
|
## (0) A week in advance
|
|
|
|
* Run [Coverity scan][coverity], fix what's relevant. The Coverity scan runs
|
|
automatically once a week on master. The badge is displayed on the
|
|
project front page and in the wiki.
|
|
* 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. There are some
|
|
sample config-files that are empty and which fail the config-tests.
|
|
* Notify [translators][transifex]. In the dashboard there is an *Announcements*
|
|
link that you can use to send a translation announcement. Note that regular
|
|
use of `txpush.sh` will notify translators as well of any changes.

|
|
## (1) Preparation
|
|
|
|
* Pull latest translations from Transifex. We only push / pull translations
|
|
from master, so longer-lived branches (e.g. 3.1.x) don't get translation
|
|
updates. This is to keep the translation workflow simple. The script
|
|
automatically commits changes to the translations.
|
|
```
|
|
sh ci/txpull.sh
|
|
```
|
|
* Update the list of enabled translation languages in `CMakeLists.txt`.
|
|
Check the [translation site][transifex] for the list of languages with
|
|
fairly complete translations, or use `ci/txstats.py` for an automated
|
|
suggestion. If there are changes, commit them.
|
|
* Push the changes.
|
|
* Drop the RC variable to 0 in `CMakeLists.txt`, *CALAMARES_VERSION_RC*.
|
|
* Check `README.md` and the
|
|
[Coding Guide](https://github.com/calamares/calamares/wiki/Develop-Code),
|
|
make sure it's all still
|
|
relevant. Run `ci/calamaresstyle` to check the C++ code style.
|
|
Run pycodestyle on recently-modified Python modules, fix what makes sense.
|
|
* Check defaults in `settings.conf` and other configuration files.
|
|
* Edit `CHANGES` and set the date of the release.
|
|
* Commit both. This is usually done with commit-message
|
|
*Changes: pre-release housekeeping*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## (2) Release Day
|
|
|
|
* Run the helper script `ci/RELEASE.sh` or follow steps below.
|
|
The script checks:
|
|
- for uncommitted local changes,
|
|
- if translations are up-to-date and translators
|
|
have had enough time to chase new strings,
|
|
- that the build is successful (with gcc and clang, if available),
|
|
- tests pass,
|
|
- tarball can be created,
|
|
- tarball can be signed.
|
|
On success, it prints out a suitable signature- and SHA256 blurb
|
|
for use in the release announcement.
|
|
|
|
### (2.1) Buld and Test
|
|
|
|
* Build with gcc. If available, build again with Clang and double-check
|
|
any warnings Clang produces.
|
|
* Run the tests; `make test` in the build directory should have no
|
|
failures (or if there are, know why they are there).
|
|
|
|
### (2.2) 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.
|
|
You can use `make show-version` in the build directory to get the right
|
|
version number -- this will fail if you didn't follow step (1).
|
|
|
|
### (2.3) Tarball
|
|
|
|
* Create tarball: `git-archive-all -v calamares-1.1-rc1.tar.gz` or without
|
|
the helper script,
|
|
```
|
|
V=calamares-3.1.5
|
|
git archive -o $V.tar.gz --prefix $V/ master
|
|
```
|
|
Double check that the tarball matches the version number.
|
|
* Test tarball (e.g. unpack somewhere else and run the tests from step 0).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## (3) Housekeeping
|
|
|
|
* Generate MD5 and SHA256 checksums.
|
|
* Upload tarball.
|
|
* Announce on mailing list, notify packagers.
|
|
* Write release article.
|
|
* Publish tarball.
|
|
* Update download page.
|
|
* Publish release article on `calamares.io`.
|
|
* Publicize on social networks.
|
|
* Close associated milestone on GitHub if this is the actual release.
|
|
* Publish blog post.
|
|
|
|
## (4) Post-Release
|
|
|
|
* Bump the version number in `CMakeLists.txt` in the `project()` command.
|
|
* Set *CALAMARES_VERSION_RC* back to 1.
|
|
* Add a placeholder entry for the next release in `CHANGES` with date
|
|
text *not released yet*.
|
|
* Commit and push that, usually with the message
|
|
*Changes: post-release housekeeping*.
