Create & update release binaries:

  1. run ease-release on the Hudson server. Building is save and does not alter official download locations. Build will run from master branch by default. If you want to build from a release branch, the job needs to be adapted.
  2. on a failure: fix the problem, back to step 1
  3. promote the build and set the version parameter correctly (eg 0.5.3). After promotion the update sites and download locations are updated and live.
  4. on a failure: fix the problem, back to step 1
  5. create a tag named ease_${version} (eg ease_0.5.3) for each of the following repositories:
  6. push created tags
  7. update the Release Notes wiki page
  8. update the download/index.php page location
  9. add a news entry to the news folder
  10. post an update to the mailing list

Prepare next release:

  1. update plugin/feature versions to next revision (0.5.3 -> 0.6.0); best use search/replace on the whole workspace
  2. create a new release on the EASE project page (sidebar: Committer Tools)
  3. update product roadmap
  4. maintain bugzilla
    • switch to the my account page
    • select 'Bugzilla Manager' from the Committer Tools
    • select 'Edit' from Bugzilla Management
    • add a new Bugzilla version using the release name (eg. 0.5.3)
    • add a new Bugzilla milestone for the upcoming version (eg. 0.6.0). Make sure the Sort key is smaller than the one from the previous release. This will list the upcomping release on the topmost position of the drop down dialog.
