Please apply the following checklist before releasing.
- Sources
- - The version number is correctly marked in CMakeLists.txt, in macros
- SIMGRID_VERSION_MAJOR and friends.
+ - 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.
+ - The version number is correctly marked in
+ - CMakeLists.txt (in macros SIMGRID_VERSION_*)
+ - sonar-project.properties
+ - docs/source/conf.py
- 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 ci)
+ everything on ci + travis/macOS + AppVeyor)
- You also tested to build and install the content of the source
archive on a reasonable amount of platforms (typically, 2 or 3).
- ChangeLog file
- The release date is indicated right below the version name
- The release dub name matches the one given in ChangeLog file
-\subsection inside_release_c_source Building the source archive
+@subsection inside_release_c_source Building the source archive
This should be done from a clean git repository because some files are
included through globbing. The best is to use a clean checkout:
-\verbatim
+@verbatim
cd /tmp
-git clone ~/Code/simgrid
+git clone --depth=1 ~/Code/simgrid
cd simgrid
cmake . && make dist
-\endverbatim
+@endverbatim
If you prefer, you can clean your repository the hard way:
-\verbatim
-git reset --hard master # warning, it will kill your uncommited changes
-git clean -dfx # warning, it will kill your uncommited changes
+@verbatim
+git reset --hard master # remove all uncommited changes to the files tracked by git
+git clean -dfx # delete all files and directories that are not tracked by git
cmake . && make dist
-\endverbatim
+@endverbatim
-\subsection inside_release_c_source Building the binary jarfile
+@subsection inside_release_c_jarfile Building the binary jarfile
Get the jarfiles for several OSes on the CI slaves. Use Save under to
give a separate name to each of them.
-- On Jenkins: Mac OSX, Linux 64 and Linux 32 (without boost-context), FreeBSD, NetBSD
-- On AppVeyor: Windows
+- macOS, FreeBSD: on Jenkins
+- Windows: on AppVeyor
+- Linux: it is safer to rebuild them in a chroot (to avoid
+ boost-context and all other optional dependencies):
+
+@verbatim
+mkdir /tmp/build-amd64
+cp SimGrid-3.*.tar.gz /tmp/build-amd64
+sudo debootstrap --arch amd64 --variant=buildd testing /tmp/build-amd64 http://deb.debian.org/debian/
+sudo chroot /tmp/build-amd64
+echo "proc /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0" >> /tmp/fstab
+mount proc /proc -t proc
+apt-get install -y cmake default-jdk libboost-dev python3 doxygen
+cd tmp
+tar xfz ../SimGrid*tar.gz && cd SimGrid-*
+cmake . -Denable_documentation=ON -Denable_java=ON
+make -j4 && LC_ALL=C ctest -R java
+@endverbatim
Once all jarfiles are in a separate directory, run the following to
merge them:
-\verbatim
+@verbatim
mkdir content ; cd content
-for j in ../simgrid-linux64.jar ../*.jar ; do unzip -n $j ; done
+for j in ../simgrid-linux64.jar ../simgrid*.jar ; do unzip -n $j ; done
# The content of all jar should be the same, but I prefer using the Linux64 version by default
# => unpack it first, and unpack the others with -n (never overwrite)
rm ../simgrid-3_*.jar
zip -r ../simgrid-3_XX.jar * # Produced ../simgrid-3_XX.jar is 7.7M
-\endverbatim
+@endverbatim
To upload the file on gforge, you need to go to Files/Admin then clic
on the Settings icon near to the "Add a version" button, and then on
the settings icon of the release you want to change.
-\subsection inside_release_c_postchecks Check list after releasing
+@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 (tar.gz and jar) on gforge
- Post a news on gforge (before updating the website)
-- Update the link scm.gforge.inria.fr:/home/groups/simgrid/htdocs/simgrid/latest
- (and create the directory of the next version)
+- Document the tag on https://github.com/simgrid/simgrid/releases and
+ on https://framagit.org/simgrid/simgrid/tags
+ - Upload the files SimGrid-3.XX.tar.gz, simgrid-3_XX.jar and
+ SimGrid-doc-3_XX.zip (that is the artefact of the pages job on framagit) files to the changelog.
+- Update the .gitlab-ci.yml on the website
+ - Download the simgrid-doc from framagit and unpack it in position
+ - Only keep 2 versions so that people don't find older ones in google
- Rebuild and resynchronize the website so that the file gets visible
- from our download page.\n
+ from our download page.@n
- Edit org/org-templates/level-0.org to change the release version, the tgz link and the jar link.
- - emacs org/site/index.org and C-c C-c the first source block to refresh the news.
+ - emacs org/site/index.org and C-c C-c the first source block to refresh the news; fake the date in the result.
- emacs org/site/download.org and C-c C-c the first source block to refresh the download.
- emacs org/site/documentation.org and edit the version links.
- make -C org all sync
- - git commit && git push
+ - jed .gitlab-ci.yml
+ - Change the link to the SimGrid-doc-3_XX.zip file
+ - Change the version number
+ - Change the link to latest
+ - git commit -a && git push
- Announce the release
- Mail the simgrid-user 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
-- Release the debian package
+ - Hall of Fame in the mail@n
+ git shortlog -se v3.21..
+ - 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
- Create the template for the next release in ChangeLog and NEWS files
-- Change the release number in CMakeLists.txt
+ Release Target date: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinox
+- Change the release number to 3.X.90 in CMakeLists.txt and sonar-project.properties docs/source/conf.py
+- Deal with deprecations:
+ - Introduce the XBT_ATTRIB_DEPRECATED_v??? macro for the next release.
+ - 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.
+- Update the Docker images (after pushing to the git)
+ - cd tools/docker && make stable tuto-s4u push
+
+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 is a dot release of 3.X
+ - 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.90 is a git version, a preversion of 3.(X+1) (3.22.90 = pre-3.23)
+ - No expectations on such versions
+
+Doing a dot release:
+ - Update the version number in:
+ - CMakeLists.txt (in macros SIMGRID_VERSION_*)
+ - sonar-project.properties
+ - docs/source/conf.py
+ - Commit and push to both framagit and github
+ - Wait for both appveyor and jenkins/highsierra to complete the build
+ - If it's not successful, fix it and push again
+ - Once it's successful:
+ - tag the release v3_X_Y and push the tag
+ - Merge 'master' into 'releases' and push it to framagit
+ - Do not merge into 'releases' before appveyor and jenkins are done,
+ or your jarfile will not contain the code you expect for win and
+ mac.
