Please apply the following checklist before releasing.
- Sources
- - The version number is correctly marked in CMakeList.txt, in macros
- SIMGRID_VERSION_MAJOR and friends. Please also update the
- comments right before these macros so that we keep a track of the
- version numbers that were used.
- - The "make distcheck" target works (testing that every files needed
- to build and install are included in the archive)
-- Tests
- - All tests pass on a reasonable amount of platforms (typically,
- everything on cdash)
- - You also tested to build and install the content of the source
- archive on a reasonable amount of platforms (typically, 2 or 3).
+ - The external patches (Debian, etc) are integrated.
+ The COPYING file is aligned with Debian's copyright file, and the
+ dates of SimGrid chunks are accurate.
- ChangeLog file
- - Every changes are documented
+ - All changes are documented
- The release date is indicated below the changes
- - The release is marked as stable above the changes
+ - The release is marked as stable above the changes (remove the UNRELEASED marker)
- The release dub name matches the one given in NEWS file
- NEWS
- The most notable changes of the version are documented
- The release date is indicated right below the version name
- The release dub name matches the one given in ChangeLog file
+- Release notes in the documentation
+ - The content of the future mail is part of the documentation, since
+ we won't send mails once gforge is definitly turned off.
+ - The date of the release is marked in the title
+- Tests
+ - The "make distcheck" target works (tested by jenkins)
+ - All tests pass on everything on ci + AppVeyor
+ - Tutorials and derivative projects build correctly
+ https://framagit.org/simgrid/simgrid-template-s4u/pipelines
+ https://framagit.org/simgrid/external-projects-ci/pipelines
+ - The python module builds (see below).
+ - The java jarfile builds from the github action
+
+@subsection inside_release_c_releasing Actually releasing SimGrid
+
+- Update the version number in:
+ - CMakeLists.txt (in macros SIMGRID_VERSION_*)
+ - sonar-project.properties
+ - docs/source/conf.py
+ - setup.py
+- Commit and push to both framagit and github
+- Wait for both appveyor and jenkins/osX to complete the build
+- If it's not successful, fix it and push again
+- Once it's successful everywhere: merge 'master' into 'stable' and push it to framagit
+ - You can interrupt the build on jenkins, as it was tested just before
+ - This builds the tar.gz artefact.
+
+- Download the simgrid-doc-3.X.Y (artefact of pipeline 'pages' on framagit)
+ Download the tgz file (artefact of the pipeline 'stable' on framagit)
+ Build the jar file using the github action
+- Tag the git repository v3.XX.X and push it to framagit and ghub
+- Document the tag on framagit and ghub
+ - Upload the files simgrid-3.XX.tar.gz, simgrid-3_XX.jar and simgrid-doc-3_XX.zip
+ - Add a link to the version of the ChangeLog that comes with this tag.
+ https://framagit.org/simgrid/simgrid/-/blob/v3.29/ChangeLog
+- Update the website
+ - emacs org/org-templates/level-0.org to change the release version, the tgz link and the jar link.
+ - jed .gitlab-ci.yml
+ - Change the link to the simgrid-doc-3_XX.zip file
+ - Only keep 2 old versions so that people don't find older ones in google
+ - Change the link to latest
+ - git commit -a && git push # Check that the pipeline goes well on framagit
+
+- Rebuild and upload the python package
+ - rm -rf dist/ ; python3 setup.py sdist # Build a source distrib
+ - test that the built distrib recompiles:
+ rm -rf /tmp/pysimgrid && mkdir /tmp/pysimgrid && cp dist/simgrid-*.tar.gz /tmp/pysimgrid
+ (cd /tmp/pysimgrid && tar xfz simgrid*.tar.gz && cd simgrid-*/ && python3 setup.py build)
+ - Upload it to pypi (WARNING: you cannot modify uploaded files, ever)
+ twine upload dist/simgrid-*.tar.gz
+
+@subsection inside_release_c_publishing Publishing the release if it's a stable one (3.XX not 3.XX.Y)
-\subsection inside_release_c_source Building the source archive
-
-First, clean up your git repository. Some files are included through
-globbing, you must ensure that your tree contains no cruft. You can
-either checkout a new tree or remove anything from your current tree:
-\verbatim
-$ cd simgrid
-$ git reset --hard master # warning, it will kill your uncommited changes
-$ git clean -dfx # warning, it will kill your uncommited changes
-\endverbatim
-
-You can then build the archive. This gives you your archive in the
-build dir, named 'SimGrid-${inside_release_version}.tar.gz'.
-
-\verbatim
-$ mkdir build
-$ cd build
-$ cmake ..
-$ make dist
-\endverbatim
-
-\subsection inside_release_c_win32 Binary distribution under Win32
-
-You have to install nsis tool first. Download it
-<a href="http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download">here</a>.
-
-Then be sure having wget.exe in your path to get the online documentation. You can download it
-<a href="http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/">here</a>.
-
-You can finally make the win installer.
-\verbatim
-$ cd simgrid
-$ mkdir build
-$ cd build
-$ cmake ..
-$ make nsis
-\endverbatim
-
-\subsection inside_release_c_postchecks Check list after releasing
-
-- Tag the git repository (don't forget to push the tags to the main
- repo)
-- Push the archive files on gforge
-- Rebuild and resynchronize the website so that the file gets visible
- from our download page (see @ref inside_doxygen_website).
-- Update the link ff-scm-v4-prod:/home/groups/simgrid/htdocs/simgrid/latest
- Announce the release
- - Mail the simgrid-user mailing list
+ - Mail the https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/review/simgrid-community mailing list
- the NEWS chunk in the mail;
- - the ChangeLog chunk as attachment
- - Also mail some other lists (G5K users), with only the NEWS chunk
- and the link to the download section
-
-\section inside_release_bindings Releasing the bindings
-
-Please apply the above checklists before and after releasing the bindings.
-
-Then, clean your git repository and build the archive. It will give
-you an archive file in the build dir:
-'SimGrid-Ruby-${inside_release_version}.tar.gz'.
+ - Hall of Fame in the mail
+ git shortlog -se v3.29..
+ - Link to the ChangeLog on framagit (the version of that tag)
+ - Also mail some other lists (G5K users)
+- Release the debian package
+ - rm -f ../simgrid_3.*+dfsg.orig.tar.xz
+ - uscan # download the new version
+ - gbp import-orig ../simgrid_3.*+dfsg.orig.tar.xz
+ - dch -i "New upstream release" # + copy the NEWS into debian/changelog
+ - git mv debian/libsimgrid3.XX.install debian/libsimgrid3.XY.install
+ - edit debian/control: s/simgrid3.XX/simgrid3.XY/
+- Update the simgrid/package.py for spack: https://gitlab.inria.fr/solverstack/spack-repo
+- Push the stable branch to github to rebuild and push the stable Docker images
+ - It downloads the latest tag on framagit
+ - Doing the same manually: cd tools/docker && make stable && make tuto-s4u tuto-smpi
+ (tuto-mc is not based on simgrid/stable but rebuilds from the git)
+ - Once the new images are built, trigger a rebuild of the simgrid-template-{s4u,smpi} repositories on framagit
+- Add the new simgrid/stable image to the .gitlab-ci.yml of:
+ - https://framagit.org/simgrid/simgrid-template-s4u/
+ - https://framagit.org/simgrid/simgrid-template-smpi/
+
+@subsection inside_release_c_postrelease Post-release cleanups
+
+- Create the template for the next release in ChangeLog and NEWS files
+ Release Target date: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinox
+- Bump release number to 3.X.1 in CMakeLists.txt sonar-project.properties docs/source/conf.py setup.py
+- Deal with deprecations:
+ - jed include/xbt/base.h: Introduce the next XBT_ATTRIB_DEPRECATED_v??? macro
+ - Kill the one for the current release and remove all code that were
+ mandated by the deprecated functions (both in source and headers).
+ - Do the possible cleanups now that these features are gone.
+- Regenerate the unstable docker with this new version
+
+Release numbering semantic:
+ - 3.X is a named release.
+ - We have 4 named releases per year (for each equinox and solstice)
+ - The ChangeLog and NEWS are complete and informative
+ - All tests pass on all ci systems (or the workarounds are documented)
+ - We provide and store a source .tar.gz and a full jarfile on framagit
+ - Deprecated symbols remain usable for at least 3 named releases (~1 year)
+ - These releases are announced to the users
+ - 3.X.Y where Y is even: dot release of 3.X, prerelease of 3.(X+1)
+ - We provide and store a source .tar.gz and a full jarfile on framagit
+ - These releases are NOT announced publicly, nor really documented.
+ The idea is to have something close to a rolling release.
+ - External projects can depend on dot releases to loosen their
+ release process from ours, when 4 release a year is not enough
+ - 3.X.Y where Y is odd: git current status between two releases
+ - No expectations on such versions
+ - Example
+ - 3.22.4: unannounced/loosely documented stable release
+ - 3.22.5: git status somewhere between the release of 3.22.4 and the next one
+ - 3.23: Documented and announced stable release
