Release Process

How to make a minor or major release?

Releases above patch level are more complex, because we did not find a way not to hardcode the version number in a bunch of files, and because a few dependant services (source control, continuous integration, code coverage, documentation builder ...) also depends on version numbers.

Checklist:

• Files
• Github

Recipes

Get current minor:

git semver | python -c 'import sys; print(".".join(sys.stdin.read().strip().split(".")[0:2]))'

Open git with all files containing current minor:

ack `git semver | python -c 'import sys; print("\\\\.".join(sys.stdin.read().strip().split(".")[0:2]))'` | vim -
