Extra required software for making a release
- github-release for uploading packages
- pandoc for making the html and man pages
Making a release
- git status - make sure everything is checked in
- Check travis & appveyor builds are green
- make check
- make test # see integration test server or run locally
- make tag
- edit docs/content/changelog.md
- make doc
- git status - to check for new man pages - git add them
- git commit -a -v -m "Version v1.XX"
- make retag
- git push --tags origin master
-
Wait for the appveyor and travis builds to complete then...
- make fetch_binaries
- make tarball
- make sign_upload
- make check_sign
- make upload
- make upload_website
- make upload_github
- make startdev
-
announce with forum post, twitter post, G+ post
Early in the next release cycle update the vendored dependencies
- Review any pinned packages in go.mod and remove if possible
- make update
- git status
- git add new files
- git commit -a -v
If make update
fails with errors like this:
# github.com/cpuguy83/go-md2man/md2man
../../../../pkg/mod/github.com/cpuguy83/go-md2man@v1.0.8/md2man/md2man.go:11:16: undefined: blackfriday.EXTENSION_NO_INTRA_EMPHASIS
../../../../pkg/mod/github.com/cpuguy83/go-md2man@v1.0.8/md2man/md2man.go:12:16: undefined: blackfriday.EXTENSION_TABLES
Can be fixed with
* GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/russross/blackfriday@v1.5.2
* GO111MODULE=on go mod tidy
* GO111MODULE=on go mod vendor
Making a point release. If rclone needs a point release due to some horrendous bug, then
- git branch v1.XX v1.XX-fixes
- git cherry-pick any fixes
- Test (see above)
- make NEW_TAG=v1.XX.1 tag
- edit docs/content/changelog.md
- make TAG=v1.43.1 doc
- git commit -a -v -m "Version v1.XX.1"
- git tag -d -v1.XX.1
- git tag -s -m "Version v1.XX.1" v1.XX.1
- git push --tags -u origin v1.XX-fixes
- make BRANCH_PATH= TAG=v1.43.1 fetch_binaries
- make TAG=v1.43.1 tarball
- make TAG=v1.43.1 sign_upload
- make TAG=v1.43.1 check_sign
- make TAG=v1.43.1 upload
- make TAG=v1.43.1 upload_website
- make TAG=v1.43.1 upload_github
- NB this overwrites the current beta so after the release, rebuild the last travis build
- Announce!
