Simultaneous Release participation

  • If Trace Compass did participate in the previous simultaneous release, do milestone 1 (M1) to announce participation in incoming simultaneous release
  • If Trace Compass did not participate in the previous simultaneous release, please announce the participation on the cross-project-issue-dev mailing list before M1:
Title: Trace Compass Participation in 2019-06 release

Hi,

The Trace Compass project will participate in the
Neon simultaneous release train with a offset of +3 and version 5.0.0.

https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.tracecompass/releases/5.0.0

Regards,
Bernd

Preparing for a release

  • The release train is composed of 3 milestones build (M1, M2, M3), 2 release candidates (RC1, RC2), and the final release build
  • Create a release record well in advance to announce the release. Go to the project page and while logged in, use "Committer Tools"-> "Create new release" on the right. This can be done even before the preceding release is done. It is used to indicate our intention.
  • About 2 months before the release, probably around but before M2, make sure the corresponding release record is properly completed and ready for review.
  • Prepare the New&Noteworthy page, e.g. https://wiki.eclipse.org/Trace_Compass/News/NewIn20
  • Deal with IP. Now that we only accept contribution through Gerrit, there really shouldn't be much to do.
    1. Generate the IPLog. Go to the project page and while logged in, use "Committer Tools" -> "Generate IPLog (project)" on the right to generate the IPLog.
    2. Review the IPLog created. There shouldn't be much to change, if anything at all.
    3. Submit the IPLog using the button at the bottom of the IPLog page. This will automatically create a CQ in IPZilla.
    4. Once the IP team finishes the review they will approved the IP log.
  • Request Tools PMC approval for the release by sending an email to "tools-pmc at eclipse.org" of the form
Title: PMC Approval for Trace Compass 2.0
 
Dear PMC Members,

We'd like PMC approval for the Trace Compass 2.0 major release that is scheduled to coincide with Eclipse Neon. The release contains bug fixes, new features and API changes [1].

The project's IP Log has been submitted and is awaiting approval. The release review can be found at [2].

Regards
Bernd

  • Schedule a release review. From the release review page e.g., review for 2.0.0, there should be a green link at the top that says "Schedule a review". Once pressed the review will be available but to make it public an email must be sent to the EMO (emo at eclipse.org) like this:
Title: Please schedule Trace Compass 2.0.0 Release Review
 
Hi,

could we please schedule a release review [1] for the next major release of Trace Compass 2.0 scheduled to coincide with Neon, on June 22th, 2016? PMC approval has been requested [2]

Regards
Bernd

Preparing milestone/release candidate builds

  • (not always) run the 'mvn plugin update' script
  • Before making the build
    • For each milestone (M1, M2, M3)
      • Update only the staging target with the the most up-to-date milestone update sites (Do not forget to increment the sequence number). For example, if preparing the build for M2, make sure the update sites uses CDT M2, Platform M2, etc. This will help to detect early dependency problem.
      • Set up a separate patch where the built target file points to the milestone dependencies and push it to gerrit.
    • For Release candidates (RC1, RC2)
      • Make sure the currently used target file points to the most up-to-date update sites (Do not forget to increment the sequence number). For example, if preparing the build for RC2, make sure the update sites uses CDT RC2, Platform RC2, etc. Release candidate must not have any dependency issues.
  • Create milestones (release candidate) update site for the simultaneous release, e.g. M2
    1. Only for RC1
      • Announce release plan on Trace Compass mailing list well advance before actual release branch is created
      • Run "releng/scripts/update_version.sh" and "releng/script/check_plugins_changes.sh" Don't forget to bump CTF pom.xml files if needed. It won't be updated automatically with the script
    2. Test the milestone (release candidate) nightly build
      • Go to https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.tracecompass/downloads and test the nightly build update site
      • Download the last eclipse build (for 2019-06 release -> take the targeted 2019-06 build for example)
      • Use the nightly update site to install Trace Compass in Eclipse
      • Install update site for dependencies if missing/needed
      • Open a trace and test whether there is no issues
    3. Run https://hudson.eclipse.org/tracecompass/view/Misc/job/org.eclipse.tracecompass-simrel-publish/ with the right parameters. It will do the following
      • Goto to sub-directory downloads/tracecompass
      • If needed, create directory <release-name>/milestones, e.g. mkdir neon/milestones
      • Goto sub-directory <release-name>/milestones
      • Create milestone directory, e.g. mkdir m2
      • Copy update site content to milestone directory (e.g. m2)
      • Copy compositeArtifacts.xml and compositeContent.xml from previous release (e.g. neon)
      • Update both files for current milestone build (e.g. <child location="m2"/>)
    4. Test the milestone update site on browser and try to install it in eclipse
    5. Update simultaneous release aggregator file (tracecompass.aggrcon)
    6. Additional steps for RC1
      • Update and enable tracecompass-stable-release-nightly-new job on Hudson to build stable-5.0 branch.
      • Create locally and then push the new stable-5.0 branch, based on the build revision. Ex: 8a8d14a28d020ea899bc558bf5cc956d06f6a04e
      • Run releng/scripts/master_to_stable_release.sh and push to the new stable branch
        • It will update the update site to stable in tracing.product
        • It will enable automatic updates for the RCP in plugin_customization.ini
      • Execute manual test cases for the release (see Test Reports) and fix bugs found. This should be a team effort.
    7. Email Trace Compass mailing list to inform about the milestone build
Title: Trace Compass 5.0/2019-06 M3 posted

Hi,

I posted the Trace Compass 5.0/2019-06 M3 build:
https://download.eclipse.org/tracecompass/2019-06/milestones/ur3_m3/
 
It is based on commit: 8a8d14a28d020ea899bc558bf5cc956d06f6a04e 

2019-06 RC1 build will be Wednesday, June 5, 2019. 
Reminder: RC1 will be API and feature freeze for this release.

Regards
Bernd
