3Release Procedure
4=================
5
6The ZOO-Project release procedure is commonly defined by the following
7rules:
8
9* Any of the :ref:`zoo_developers` can ask for a release by asking the
10  :ref:`zoo_psc` and pointing a release manager. This last will then
11  vote for accepting both the manager and the release procedure to
12  happen.
13* If not already created, create  a wiki page (like this `one
14  <http://zoo-project.org/trac/wiki/Release/1.3.0/Notes>`_ using this
15  scheme: Release/M.m.r/Notes), summarizing changes from the previous
16  release (extracted from the `revision log
17  <http://zoo-project.org/trac/browser/trunk/zoo-project/HISTORY.txt>`_).
18* That file should include new features, changed features, and
19  deprecated features if any. Changes to the official documentation
20  should be specifically noted along with other items that will cause
21  breaking changes during upgrades.
22* Read the documentation and remove outdated parts.
23* Create release candidate as .zip and .tar.bz2  then add them on this
24  `page <http://zoo-project.org/site/Downloads>`_ (by editing this
25  `wiki page <http://zoo-project.org/trac/wiki/Download>`_)
26* Cut a release candidate once you think that everything is in
27  order. Announce the release candidate for review for at least 1
28  week. In this period of time, it is also appropriate for you to
29  deploy in production since you are asserting that it is stable and
30  (significant) bug free. Publish a specific revision with this.
31* If significant bugs are reported, fix and cut a new release
32  candidate. If no major bugs, then announce that the release
33  candidate has officially been promoted to the official release (if
34  you want, you can do this with a motion and support of the PSC).
35* Ensure that release exactly matches something in SVN. Tag and branch
36  appropriately.
37* Update documentation as needed.
38* Announce on various email list and other locations
39  (news_item@osgeo.org, SlashGeo, etc)

41Creating an Official Release
42----------------------------
43
44Release versions lead to an update in documentation and standard tarballs. This is to help future administrators repeatably create releases.
45
46* Double check that the pages from `the ZOO-Project.org web site <http://zoo-project.org/>`_ match the current version.
47* Double check that the latest build file matches the current revisions number.
48* If this is a new major release create a branch and a tag.
49
50.. code::
51
52    cd zoo-project-svn/
53    svn cp trunk branches/branch-1.6
54    svn cp trunk tags/rel-1.6.0
55
56* If this is a major or minor relase, create a tag.
57
58.. code::
59
60    svn cp branches/branch-1.6 tags/rel-1.6.1
61
62* Commit the tags or branches with the version numbers.
63
64.. code::
65
66    svn commit -m 'Created branch/tags for the X.Y.Z release'
67
68* Create version archives
69
70.. code::
71
72    export VERSION=2.6.0
73    cd zoo-propject-svn
74    cp -r trunk zoo-project-$VERSION
75    cd zoo-project-$VERSION
76    rm -rf $(find ./ -name ".svn")
77    cd zoo-project/zoo-kernel
78    autoconf
79    # In case you did not build ZOO-Kernel
80    cd ../../..
81    # In case you built ZOO-Kernel, then remove the generated file from the archive
82    make clean
83    rm -f  {Makefile,ZOOMakefile.opts}
84    cd ../../..
85    # In case you built one or more ZOO-Services, then remove the generated file from the archive
86    rm $(find ./zoo-project-$VERSION/zoo-project/zoo-services -name "*zo")
87    # Remove documentation from the archive
88    rm -rf ./zoo-project-$VERSION/{docs,workshop}
89    tar -cvjf ./zoo-project-$VERSION.tar.bz2 ./zoo-project-$VERSION
90    zip -r ./zoo-project-$VERSION.zip ./zoo-project-$VERSION
91    scp -P 1046 ./zoo-project-$VERSION.{zip,tar.bz2} zoo-project.org:/var/www/localhost/htdocs/dl/
92
93* Update the `Downloads page <http://zoo-project.org/site/Downloads>`_ to add the latest release (by editing `this wiki page <http://zoo-project.org/trac/wiki/Downloads>`_).
