== Cutting a maintenance branch ==
 
 
There are several steps needed to create a new maintenance branch for a release. Assuming <code>master</code> is at version 1.0.0, which is released, and that the next version will be 2.0.0, we must:
 
# Create a new Git branch named <code>v1.0.x</code>, starting from the exact commit containing the final released 1.0.0 version: <code> git branch v1.0.0x v1.0.0</code> (assuming the tag for <code>v1.0.0</code> has been created).
 
# In the new <code>v1.0.x</code>, bump the version number to 1.0.1 to be ready for the next service release on that branch.
 
# On the [https://hudson.eclipse.org/sirius/ Sirius HIPP], create a new job named <code>sirius-1.0.x</code>, starting from a copy of <code>sirius-master</code>. Adjust the job description and the name of the branch to build. Normally that is all that is needed, the publication script knows were to publish the build if the version bump was done correctly.
 
# On the <code>master</code> branch, bump the version number to the next planned version, e.g. 2.0.0.
 
# Update [[Sirius/Update_Sites|the list of available update sites]] on the wiki to mention the where the nightlies for the maintenance branch will be published.
 
# Announce the new branch and update-site on the <code>sirius-dev</code> mailing-list.
 
 
== Version bump ==
 
 
To bump the Sirius version, for example from 1.0.0 to 2.0.0, most of the changes required can be performed automatically. From a clean state, issue the following commands:
 
 
    git grep -l "1\.0\.0" -- '*.xml' '**/*.xml' '**/MANIFEST.MF' '**/about.ini' | grep -v plugin.xml | while read f; do sed -i -e 's/1\.0\.0/2.0.0/g' $f; done
 
    sed -i -e 's/VERSION="1\.0\.0"/VERSION="2.0.0"/' releng/org.eclipse.sirius.releng/publish-nightly.sh
 
 
This changes the version number in all <code>pom.xml</code>, <code>feature.xml</code>, <code>about.ini</code>, <code>MANIFEST.MF</code>, and in the publication script. It excludes the <code>plugin.xml</code> files because they contain the metamodel URIs, which should only change if the metamodel change in incompatible ways (and even then, in practice we don't change these and rely on our migration framework). Obviously this assumes nothing else than Sirius in the whole code base is using "1.0.0" as a version number, so '''carefully review the patch before commiting it''' (e.g. visually review the output of <code>git diff</code>).
 
 
Check the result builds correctly with:
 
 
    mvn clean package
 
 
and check in <code>packaging/org.eclipse.sirius.update/target/repository</code> that all features and plug-ins have the correction version.
 
 
See if any reference was forgotten with
 
 
    git grep -l "1\.0\.0"
 
 
It is normal to have references to the old version in <code>@since</code> annotations in the Java code, in the metamodels nsURIs, and in the release notes.
 
 
Once you are confident in the result, commit (and then push) using a message of this form:
 
 
  git commit -s -m "[version] Bump version to 2.0.0"
