High level release procedure that we follow to make a formal release for the
|
|
getdns API project. This is a recipe - if you have a better way to do it then
|
|
update this document and share it with us.
|
|
|
|
- code freeze
|
|
confirm with core team that all commits are in, from this point forward
|
|
only bug fixes will be included in the release branch
|
|
|
|
- create a release branch
|
|
in git repository named for the release, e.g. "v0.1.2"
|
|
we do this because folks may want to continue to work in the master branch
|
|
and be free to commit changes without injuring the release process. Since
|
|
building and testing binaries for a release takes a few days we don't want to
|
|
force changes to queue up.
|
|
|
|
One might argue that a release can be cut more quickly, however there are
|
|
inevitably little tweaks that need to be made that get uncovered as a result
|
|
of the binary builds - these tweaks need to be included in the souces for
|
|
this release so building the source tarball can't be done until all of the
|
|
binaries have been built and tested.
|
|
|
|
- clone repo release branch to a clean local repo
|
|
this should be a brand spanking new directory - don't try to shortcut it and
|
|
use a working directory with lots of cruft - crap will find its way into the
|
|
release and embarass you:
|
|
|
|
# git clone -b v0.1.2 https://github.com/getdnsapi/getdns.git getdns-0.1.2
|
|
|
|
- update files to reflect release number/date
|
|
./README.md
|
|
./ChangeLog
|
|
./configure.ac (AC_INIT)
|
|
|
|
# autoreconf
|
|
|
|
commit these changes to the release branch
|
|
|
|
# git commit -a -m "release number and date updates"
|
|
# git push
|
|
|
|
- build binaries for each target platform
|
|
- create clean local repo
|
|
- build code (no additional libraries, note that regression tests will not build)
|
|
if you are building a simple binary tar then something like this works
|
|
# ./configure --prefix=/Users/gwiley/getdnsox/export
|
|
# make
|
|
# make install
|
|
# tar -C /Users/gwiley/getdnsosx/export -cvf getdns-0.1.2.tar *
|
|
|
|
- build code (with libevent)
|
|
# ./configure --with-libevent2
|
|
|
|
- run regression tests and verify that alls well
|
|
|
|
if you have do do anything even mildly interesting to get the build or install to
|
|
work then we either have to add it to the README.md or, preferably, fix it
|
|
and update the branch
|
|
|
|
- install on each target platform
|
|
- make sure and use a user that was NOT used for the build, this will uncover
|
|
any silliness related to absolute paths in the build
|
|
|
|
- if a build breaks or an install fails then commit fixes to the relase branch
|
|
- rebuild EVERY binary using the changed release branch
|
|
|
|
- once all binaries are built and tested clean, create source tar ball
|
|
|
|
- generate checksums for each binary/source tar
|
|
|
|
- upload source and binaries to the getdnsapi.net site
|
|
|
|
- update getdnsapi.net web site
|
|
news entry for the release
|
|
main page download links
|
|
main page checksums
|
|
|
|
- announce message to
|
|
getdns mailing list
|
|
stub-resolvers mailing list
|
|
Verisign internal via the matrix
|
|
|
|
- merge branch changes back into master
