Making a backup-utils release

Automatic Process from chatops (internal to GitHub only)

  1. .ghe backup-utils-release 2.12.0

Automatic Process from CLI

  1. Install the Debian devscripts package: sudo apt-get install devscripts
  2. Run GH_AUTHOR="Bob Smith <[email protected]>" GH_RELEASE_TOKEN=your-amazing-secure-token script/release 2.12.0

Manual Process

In the event you can't perform the automatic process, or a problem is encountered with the automatic process, these are the manual steps you need to perform for a release.

  1. Install the Debian devscripts package: sudo apt-get install devscripts
  2. Add a new version and release notes to the debian/changelog file: dch --newversion 2.12.0 --release-heuristic log You can use make pending-prs to craft the release notes.
  3. Rev the share/github-backup-utils/version file.
  4. Tag the release: git tag v2.12.0
  5. Build that tarball package: make dist
  6. Build the deb package: make deb. All the tests should pass.
  7. Draft a new release at https://github.com/github/backup-utils/releases, including the release notes and attaching the tarball and deb packages. The dist tarball you should upload has the revision in the file name, i.e. something like github-backup-utils-v2.12.0.tar.gz
  8. Push the head of the release to the 'stable' branch.
