Steps to release

Create a branch

Name the branch following the guidelines of semantic versioning http://semver.org/:

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

  • MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
  • MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
  • PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
$ git checkout master
$ git checkout -b release/0.2.2
$ git push --set-upstream origin release/0.2.2

Draft

Draft the release

This step should be done at the very beginning of planning. If you already did it, skip it now.

At code -> releases draft a new release

  • tag version : v0.2.2
  • release title : v0.2.2

Create the milestone

At the issues section , create a milestone. Name it like the tag version: 0.2.2. There must be a way to link it to the tag , I just don’t know how.

Create issues

Assign issues to the milestone

Close

Close the milestone

Check the milestone has no open issues and close it.

Update the authors

$ git checkout 0.2.2
$ cd templates/bootstrap/
$ ./get_authors.sh

It will create a file authors.html.ep, review it and commit it.

$ git commit authors.html.ep
$ cd ../..

Update the release number

In Ravada.pm

Modify lib/Ravada.pm around line 5:

our $VERSION = '0.2.5';

Modify the Changelog

Check the last issues closed for this milestone and add them to the Changelog file:

$ git checkout release/0.2.2
$ gvim Changelog.md
$ git commit -a

Push changes

$ git push

Close the release

Make sure the target is the same as the branch, not the master. Close the release at:

  • Close the Milestone
  • Publish the Release

Release binary

Debian

Create the debian package.

$ fakeroot ./deb/debianize.pl
$ lintian ravada_0.8.1_all.deb

Upload the file to our repo and change the number at:

http://ravada.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/INSTALL.html

$ git checkout gh-pages
$ gvim docs/docs/INSTALL.md
$ gvim docs/docs/res/ravada_installer.sh
