To release IVLE, both generic source tarballs and Ubuntu packages should
25
These instructions expect to be run on a Debian-derived system with a
26
working IVLE installation. You also need to have your system set up with
27
write access to Launchpad branches.
30
Update the internal version strings
31
===================================
33
Change the two version strings in ``doc/conf.py`` and the one in
34
``ivle/__init__.py``. Make sure you commit this change now.
37
Tag the release in Bazaar
38
=========================
40
To note down the release's revision in the Bazaar trunk, run ``bzr tag
44
Generate a source tarball
45
=========================
47
To generate a tarball of the current state of trunk, run ``bzr export
48
ivle-VERSION.tar.gz lp:ivle``.
51
Release it on Launchpad
52
=======================
54
As a member of the `IVLE Developers <https://launchpad.net/~ivle-dev>`_ team,
55
visit the `IVLE project page <https://launchpad.net/ivle>`_. There you'll see
56
a graph of IVLE's series, milestones and releases.
58
Clicking on the series in which this release should be created will present
59
a list of existing milestones and releases. If a milestone for this release
60
already exists, click "Release now". If not, click "Create release". Enter
61
the release date on the following form, and confirm the creation.
63
To upload the release tarball for the world to see, hit "Add download file" on
64
the release page. Give a meaningful description like "IVLE 1.0 source", select
65
the file, and ensure that the type is "Code Release Tarball".

75
Publish an Ubuntu package
76
=========================
78
An Ubuntu package is kept in the `PPA for production environments
79
<https://launchpad.net/~unimelb-ivle/+archive/production>`_. Releases should
80
be pushed out to there if destined for production systems. The packaging is
81
kept in a separate branch: `lp:~ivle-dev/ivle/debian-packaging
82
<https://code.launchpad.net/~ivle-dev/ivle/debian-packaging>`_.
84
You will need to be a member of the `University of Melbourne IVLE developers
85
<https://launchpad.net/~unimelb-ivle>`_ team, have an OpenPGP key assigned to
86
your account, and have signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. See the PPA
87
documentation linked below for instructions. You should be able to build
88
the package on any Debian-derived operating system that uses ``dpkg``.
89
You also need to have an SSH key `associated with your account
90
<https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair>`_ so you can
91
commit to the branch on Launchpad.
93
When performing a release, you should merge trunk into a checkout of the
94
packaging branch. Then run ``dch -i`` to add a new Debian changelog entry.
95
For the Debian version string, append ``-0ppa1`` to the IVLE version (eg.
96
``1.0-0ppa1``). Make sure that you target to the correct Ubuntu series
97
(currently ``hardy``). Also ensure that your name and email address are set
98
correctly at the bottom of the new entry.
100
Next ensure that you have a copy of the release tarball in the parent
101
directory, named ``ivle_VERSION.orig.tar.gz``. Once that's there, run
102
``debuild -S -sa -i`` inside the checkout to build the source package and
103
have the results placed in the parent directory.
105
``dput ppa:unimelb-ivle/production ivle_VERSION_source.changes`` will now
106
upload the package to the production PPA. You should receive an acknowledgement
107
email from Launchpad within five minutes, at which point Launchpad will begin
108
building binaries from the source package. You can check the build progress
109
on the `PPA detail page
110
<https://launchpad.net/~unimelb-ivle/+archive/production/+packages>`_.
112
Remember to commit to and push the ``debian-packaging`` branch when done.
