This is an attempt to enumerate all the steps necessary to release a new version of Condor, given a valid nightly build ID. It's currently a work-in-progress, but will hopefully converge on an authoritative list in the near future. There are now two major parts of wrangling a release: *: Making sure the version history is right *: Everything else Each task is described in its own section. In general, the version history is a ton of work, so it's best to select two separate people, one to do the version history, one for wrangling everything else. {section: Making Sure the Version History Is Right} First, be sure to read the {link: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/developers/version-history.html Version History Policy and FAQ}. This spells out the policy for the version history and explains a big part of your task at release time: finding missing entries. Of course, you can't finalize the version history until the code-freeze for the release and the source is tagged. So, in practice, you'll have to coordinate with the real release wrangler to make sure you're looking at the right diff. Once you've got the official release tag (or the build tag that's going to become the official tag), here's what you do: 1: Check out a copy of the version history to verify: {code} git clone /p/condor/repository/CONDOR_DOC.git cd CONDOR_DOC git checkout -b V7_0_2-branch origin/V7_0_2-branch {endcode} Inside doc, you'll need to edit =version-history/X-Y.history.tex= where =X-Y= matches the release series you're working from (e.g. =7-0=). 1: Run git log between the last release and the current release from the same series: {code} git log -p V7_0_1..V7_0_2 > 7.0.2-diff {endcode} If the =V7_0_2= tag doesn't exist yet, use the appropriate build tag, e.g. =BUILD-V7_0_2-branch-2008-6-9=. 1: Go through the saved output (e.g. =7.0.2-diff=) and make sure everything in there that should be documented has a corresponding entry in the version history. 1: If you find parts of the diff that should be documented which are missing, make a list of the missing entries and who committed the changes. 1: Once you've gone through the entire diff, email your list of missing entries to condor-team@cs.wisc.edu for public humiliation and so that people know how much they owe to the version history pizza fund (see the {link: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/developers/version-history.html policy/FAQ}). You can either add the missing entries yourself, or get the guilty parties to do it. That's the whole task. However, give yourself at least a day to do it, since the diff can be huge and this is a time consuming process. Once you're done, notify the "real" release wrangler so they know when it's safe to publicly release the manual. {section: Everything Else} There are two main phases of the actual release: 1: Preliminary work to freeze the code, make a release branch, etc. (this can take a few days, so start early) 1: Release process given a valid build candidate {subsection: Preliminary Work} 1: Coordinate a development code-freeze. This involves chasing down people who are trying to finish bug fixes, new features (if it's a development release), porting, or any other core development that is slated for a given release. 1: Ensure that the parent branch (e.g. =V7_0-branch=) is building properly on all platforms. If any platforms aren't building, you need to either solve it yourself or track down the person who broke the builds and get them to fix it immediately. This can take days, so _start early_! 1: Notify the CS department. Send email to the =uwcs-condor@cs.wisc.edu= list announcing our plans for the pool upgrade. We like to give users at least a few days notice so that if there are important paper deadlines, etc, they have time to finish their jobs, or to let us know they need us to delay the upgrade. 1: Make a release branch. The main thing to know is that the branch should have the name =VX_Y_Z-branch=. Here's an example of the steps for a 7.0.3 release, from a known good NMI tag (assuming your working directory is inside of a clone of CONDOR_SRC.git): *:: The preferred method for making a release branch is from a known good build tag on NMI. {code} git branch V7_0_3-branch BUILD-V7_0-branch-2008-6-24 git push origin V7_0_3-branch {endcode} *::or, if you'd like to make the branch off of the V7_0-branch: {code} git branch V7_0_3-branch origin/V7_0-branch git push origin V7_0_3-branch {endcode} *::either way, be sure to update GitBranchDescriptions to document the new branch 1: Fix the version string in the release branch. However, in this case, the goal is to remove the "=PRE-RELEASE=" and other junk from the version string so you're left with an official version string for the final release. *:: =git checkout V7_0_3-branch= *:: Edit =src/condor_c++_util/condor_version.cpp= *:: Set the version string to: ="$CondorVersion: 7.0.3 " __DATE__ BUILDIDSTR " $";= *:: =git diff= (to verify the change before you commit it)... *:: =git commit -a -m "set official version string for 7.0.3"= *:: =git push origin V7_0_3-branch= 1: Update =src/condor_c++_util/condor_version.cpp= on the main-line development branch (e.g. V7_0-branch) to go to the next version number and to include the string "PRE-RELEASE-UWCS". *:: =git checkout V7_0-branch= *:: Edit =src/condor_c++_util/condor_version.cpp= *:: Set the version string to: ="$CondorVersion: 7.0.4 " __DATE__ BUILDIDSTR " PRE-RELEASE-UWCS $";= *:: =git diff= (to verify the change before you commit it)... *:: =git commit -a -m "updated version string for 7.0.4"= *:: =git push origin V7_0-branch= *:: Then edit the top-level CMakeLists.txt file and set the VERSION string at the top of that file to the new version 1: Get ready to make a release branch for the manual. You should ensure that ALL of the required doc merges are done. Usually Karen (smoler@cs) takes care of this, but you should check with her to coordinate. If she's not around, there are usually 3 merges that need to happen for any development series release. For example, to release 7.1.1, assuming we've been updating the V7_0_3-branch of doc for stable series changes, you'd need to do the following before you could make a V7_1_1-branch of doc. If you're doing a stable series release, you'd only need to do the first of those merges (=V7_0_3-branch= into =V7_0-branch=) and you'd be ready to create a =V7_0_4-branch= of the manual. *:: =V7_0_3-branch= into =V7_0-branch= (the current 7.0 manual) *:: =V7_1_0-branch= into =V7_1-branch= (the current 7.1 manual) *:: =V7_0-branch= into =V7_1-branch= (to get all the recent 7.0 changes into 7.1 as well) 1: Make a release branch for the manual. ASK KAREN FIRST! For example, if you're releasing 7.0.3: *:: =git clone /p/condor/repository/CONDOR_DOC.git= *:: =cd CONDOR_DOC= *:: =git branch V7_0_3-branch origin/V7_0-branch= *:: =git push origin V7_0_3-branch= 1: On the main branch of the manual (*not* the newly created release branch, but for example, the regular V7_0-branch), update condor-macros.tex and Makefile to up the version number to the next version, and push those changes to CONDOR_DOC.git. 1: Make sure the nightly build tags are being made on the release branch: *:: =cd /p/condor/home/tools/cvs-tools= *:: Edit =create_build_tag-input= *:: Uncomment and modify a section that defines a nightly build tag on the appropriate release branch. See the other examples in the file for details. There's also a very complete comment at the top of the =create_build_tag= script itself. *:: =cvs diff create_build_tag-input= (to verify the change before you commit it)... *:: =cvs commit -m "added nightly build tags for V6_X_Y-branch" create_build_tag-input= 1: Watch the nightly builds the next morning to ensure everything is working fine. Common problems include: *:: Confusion with the proper branch to pull the manual from for the nightly build tag. 1: If you'd like to fire off a build immediately, then read the {wiki: NmiBuild Building Condor with NMI} page. You'll need to start the build as cndrauto so follow the directions. That's it... you're done with the prep-work. Now, the real work begins... {subsection: Final Release Process} 1: Settle on a build ID candidate that can build on all platforms 1: Perform the ManualRegressionTests, possibly assigning some to various staff members. (Question -- has anyone done this? If so, where to run the Xen VMU tests?) 1: On nmi-s006, pin the build for 365 days using =/nmi/bin/nmi_pin=: {code} $ nmi_pin --days=365 --force {endcode} This buildid will be unpinned by the *next* wrangler when the *next* revision of Condor comes out in this series. Example: If you are the current release wrangler and have just pinned 7.0.0. The release wrangler for 7.0.1 will unpin the 7.0.0 release. 1: Make sure we've got a win32 build and releasable package (at this point, the nightly windows builds still don't provide packaging, so this remains a manual step). 1: Definitive pass-thru of test results, by platform. Need a list by platform saying "good" or "bad". 1: Deploy binaries onto production pool, start the "N-day" counter. Stable releases go onto the CS Dept. pool. Upgrading this pool is a complicated process in itself, which is documented on the {link: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/developers/pool-update.html Upgrading the UW CS Pool} page. Developement releases go onto the {quote:BaTLab} and CHTC pools. Talk to the infrastructure team to arrange upgrading these pools. *:: N >= 1 for a development series release *:: N >= 3 for a bug fix release in a stable series (X.Y.>0) *:: N >= 28 for a new stable series (X.Y.0) 1: RUST-watcher must be diligent about looking for "bad things", bug reports from our users, etc. 1: The Version History et all in the manual needs to be verified that it is all up to date. See the section on updating the version history above for details. 1: The list of supported platforms in the manual needs to be verified that it is all up to date. This generally means talking to Pete Keller. The list is in =doc/overview/overview.tex= under 'Availability'. Furthermore, the platform-specific notes in the manual =doc/platforms/*= should be verified and updated if there have been any changes. 1: Tag Build ID w/ release tag. For example, to create "V7_0_3" as opposed to "BUILD-V7_0_3-branch-2008-6-15": *:: (Assume clones of CONDOR_SRC.git, and CONDOR_DOC.git are present.) *:: =cd CONDOR_SRC= *:: =git tag V7_0_3 BUILD-V7_0_3-branch-2008-6-15= *:: =git push origin V7_0_3= (This puts the V7_0_3 tag in the central CONDOR_SRC.git repo.) *:: *Note:* Push the TAG name, not the branch name. *:: update GitBranchDescriptions to document the new branch *::: Name of the tag and date the tag was created. *::: The branch the tag was created on. *::: The official version string included in that release. *::: The original build tag that the release tag was created from. This last point is very important, since it contains the actual date the release's codebase came from, not just the date the release tag "alias" was created. This is important for date-based comparisons in git, for example. *::For example, here's the 6.9.5 tag's entry: {code} 11/28/07 V6_9_5 The offical tag for 6.9.5, from the V6_9_5-branch. Version string: $CondorVersion: 6.9.5 Nov 28 2007 BuildID: 65347 $ Original build tag: BUILD-V6_9_5-branch-2007-11-28 {endcode} Note that in this case, everything was actually from the same date, but that's an exception. Usually, the date in the version string and original build tag will differ from the date the release tag itself was added. *:: =cd ../CONDOR_DOC= *:: =git tag V7_0_3 BUILD-V7_0_3-branch-2008-6-15= *:: =git push origin V7_0_3= (This puts the V7_0_3 tag in the central CONDOR_DOC.git repo.) 1: Pre-release binary tarballs to the web. The binaries are not available to the public until they've been pushed to the mirrors (see step 14). However, they still need to be placed into AFS for the download system to find. If the version of Condor is =X.Y.Z=, then place the binary releases of Condor for the various available architectures into =/p/condor/public/binaries/vX.Y/X.Y.Z=. Note that for any particular architecture, =unstripped= binaries should not be released to the web if there is a corresponding =condordebugsyms= tarball. And with 7.5.x and above, static binaries should not be released. *:: WINDOWS: With hopefully Windows packages will be automatic. If you have only the tarballs and not the Windows MSI/ZIP, you can build them from the tarballs. People who know how to make Windows packages: TJ, Cathrin, Z, Todd T. 1::: Unzip/untar the windows tarball into a working directory, c:\scratch\temp for instance. You will end up with all of the files in c:\scratch\temp\public 1::: Create a directory for the packagages, c:\scratch\temp\package for instance. 1::: Set your git repository to the branch that you are releasing and make sure that it doesn't have any extraneous files. {code} > cd CONDOR_SRC\msconfig > dopackaging c:\scratch\temp\public c:\scratch\temp\package {endcode} this will make the .msi and .zip for Windows in the c:\scratch\temp\package directory. *:: UNIX: Mostly this involves copying everything off of nmi-s006 and into /p/condor/public/binaries/... *::: Option 1: Use nmi_crowbar 1:::: Find a machine with lots of space in /scratch or /scratch.1. This process requires about 35GB, as of November 2009. chopin.cs.wisc.edu's /scratch.1 is a good choice. 1:::: Pull down the binaries. This will take about an hour, more if you decide to set --into to point into AFS. {code} nmi_crowbar --runid=193173 --download --flatten --unpack-style=release \ --scratch=/scratch.1/adesmet --into=/scratch.1/adesmet/7.4.0-binaries {endcode} 1:::: Delete the checksum files, we don't currently use them =rm *.md5 *.sha1= 1:::: Delete the pieces of a Windows install left around. You need to do this because the Windows tarballs are packaged differently and nmi_crowbar doesn't yet special case for it. {code} rm -rf bin/ etc/ examples/ hdfs/ include/ lib/ logs/ sql/ src/ testbin/ {endcode} 1:::: For each condordebugsyms-* file, delete any corresponding * -unstripped.tar.gz". That is, for any given platform there should be a * -unstripped.tar.gz _or_ a condordebugsyms-*. 1:::: Move everything into place. This could take thirty minutes or so. We use cp here to make it easier on you when you inevitably fill up the AFS partition onto which this release goes. {code} cp * /p/condor/public/binaries/stable/v7.4/7.4.0/ {endcode} *::: Option 2: Use Nick's shiny "nmi-extract-results" script, which lives in tools/nmi-interaction. It's also in ~nleroy/bin on nmi-s006. {linebreak} The script writes to ./cache and ./public -- and will create these directories if they don't already exist. The cache is to maintain a list of things that it's already extracted from, so if you run it again, it won't do unnecessary work. {linebreak} Run the python in /prereq/Python-2.6.2/bin (put it in the front of your path). Use "-h" to get help. *:::: login to nmi-s006 *:::: Get the GID or the (RunID and date of the build) of the build you want. *:::: Run the extractor, passing it either a GID or run ID -- if it sees a "_" in the ID, it'll assume it's a GID. *::::: Provide a GID: {code} $ nmi-extract-results $ nmi-extract-results 1276577428_21704 {endcode} *::::: Provide a runid and look for builds within +/- 24 hours of today that match the passed in RID {code} $ nmi-extract-results $ nmi-extract-results 246724 {endcode} *::::: Provide a runid and look for builds with +/- 24 hours of the specified date {code} $ nmi-extract-results --date $ nmi-extract-results --date 2010/06/16 246724 {endcode} *::::: Provide a runid and extract only specific platform(s). {code} $ nmi-extract-results ... $ nmi-extract-results 246724 x86_64_rhas_3 x86_rhap_5 {endcode} *:::: The --runid search modes aren't all that painful at all, it generally finds the matching RunID in well less than a minute, so it's much better than the "run find by hand" method, which is painful. *:::: If it succeeds in finding the build, it will then extract all of the relevant binaries into ./public/v7.1.2 (well, actually, the correct name). When it's done, you should have everything you need in that directory, including the condor_src and windows tarballs (note, however, that we, as of yet, still need to have Todd, Cathrin, or Z build the ZIP and MSI files). *:::: Copy the files back to one of the CSL machines; I try to use nation or one of the less used machines (nation is a good choice), especially if I'm copying directly into AFS, otherwise it loads them down badly (AFS just doesn't handle it well at all). {code} $ cd public/v7.1.4 $ rsync -av --rsh=ssh * nation:/p/condor/public/binaries/v7.1/7.1.4 {endcode} *::: Option 3: Do it by hand: *:::: for a given build's GID, run the following on nmi-s006: {code} GID=cndrauto_nmi-s006.cs.wisc.edu_1167884128_28240 RELEASE=6.8.3 cd /space/tmp mkdir release-$RELEASE cd release-$RELEASE find /nmi/run/cndrauto/*/*/$GID/userdir -type f -name results.tar.gz | grep -v '/common/' | grep -v '/nmi:x86_winnt_5.1/' | xargs -n1 tar xvzf cp /nmi/run/cndrauto/*/*/$GID/userdir/nmi\:x86_winnt_5.1/release.tar.gz condor-$RELEASE-winnt50-x86.tar.gz tar zxvf /nmi/run/cndrauto/*/*/$GID/userdir/common/results.tar.gz condor-$RELEASE.tar.gz {endcode} *:::: Get some coffee, it'll be a while. *:::: On a CSL machine: {code} RELEASE_MAJOR=6.8 RELEASE=6.8.3 cd /p/condor/public/binaries/v$RELEASE_MAJOR mkdir $RELEASE cd $RELEASE rsync -v --progress --rsh=ssh nmi-s006:/space/tmp/release-$RELEASE/public/v$RELEASE_MAJOR/'*' ./ ls | grep -v unstripped | xargs --replace mv '{}' ../ {endcode} *:::: (You can also use "=scp nmi-s006:/space/tmp/release-$RELEASE/public/v$RELEASE_MAJOR/'*' ./=" to copy the binaries over. rsync provides the advantage that you can re-run it over and over again if your transfer is interrupted and you won't re-copy what you already have.) *::: Option 3: Derek has a script to search through a given NMI rundir and move everything we need. The script lives in the nmi_tools directory in git, and is called =move_to_afs=. Beware that this script will eat up around 8 gigabytes while it runs. It's also old and crusty and should be avoided. 1: Pre-release source tarball. The source tarball used to be created every night as part of the nightly builds. After the conversion to cmake, it is no longer created. While releasing 7.5.5, I created it by hand by tarring the contents of =userdir/common= in the =rundir= of the NMI build. I put these files in a top-level directory named =condor-X.Y.Z= and I removed the =soar= directory. Nick's =nmi-extract-results= script will also create the source tarball. The source should be placed in =/p/condor/public/binaries/vX.Y/X.Y.Z= using the name "=condor_src-X.Y.Z-all-all.tar.gz=". 1: Is this a new series release (x.x.0)? There are some additional details: *::Add a new license agreement. This is usually just copying the old license to a new name and changing the version number. {code} cvs -d /p/condor/repository/HTML co condor-web cd condor-web/src/downloads cp v7.3.license.html v7.4.license.html edit v7.4.license.html # change the Condor version numebr. cvs add v7.4.license.html cvs ci cd ../.. ./generate_html src {endcode} *::Update the download system's information. Note that the warnings above download-versions being incompatible with the standard Python install stands; make sure you use a more recent Python. {code} download-versions update --lic=http://parrot.cs.wisc.edu/v7.4.license.html \ --inst=http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.4/3_2Installation.html 7.4.0 {endcode} *::The download log files must exist; the download scripts won't create them if they don't. {code} cd /p/condor/public/license touch licensers-v7.4 problem-v7.4 sendfile-v7.4 {endcode} 1: Set the release date (the date the new version hit the Condor web site) in the Condor Manual's Version History item devoted to identifying the release date. OR, tell Karen exactly what date to use, and she'll do it for you. (#1236) 1: Build the manual. {code} git clone /p/condor/repository/CONDOR_DOC.git cd CONDOR_DOC git checkout -b V7_0_3-branch origin/V7_0_3-branch cd doc make release {endcode} {subsection: Release Condor} Once you start following these steps, Condor is available to the public. 1: Release the manual. Move the symlink in /p/condor/public/html/manual for whatever release series you're changing to point at the new version. {code} cd /p/condor/public/html/manual rm v7.0 ln -s v7.0.3 v7.0 {endcode} 1: Tell the new download system about the new binaries. *You might have to be the condor user when running these commands for the downloads to get properly pushed out*. *:: All of the programs listed here take --help options, and the are all discussed to some extent in /p/condor/downloads/doc/operation.txt . *:: These tools require Python version 2.5. The /usr/bin/python on RHEL5 2.4.3, and these scripts won't run with it. If that's the case, add /s/python-2.5/bin/ to the front of your PATH. It is not enough to call the script with /s/python-2.5/bin/python in front of it. You can detect the version of the python that you're running by: {code} $ which python /s/std/bin/python $ python -V # Note that this is a capital "V". Python 2.4.1 $ /s/std/bin/python -V Python 2.4.1 $ /s/python-2.5/bin/python -V Python 2.5 $ export PATH=/s/python-2.5/bin:$PATH $ rehash $ which python /s/python-2.5/bin/python $ python -V Python 2.5 {endcode} *:: For more complete documentation on the download tools, look at /p/condor/downloads/doc/operation.txt *:: Add a version to the new download "database". In this case, we'll install version 7.0.2, and we'll copy the release information from 7.0.1, except for the release date. Then, we'll edit the 7.0.1 description to reflect that it's no longer the most recent. Finally, we'll blow away 7.0.0 entirely. These steps are required. For all of the below commands, I'm going to assume that you've added =/p/condor/downloads/bin= to your PATH. *::: List the current versions: {code} $ download-versions print {endcode} *::: Create the 7.0.2 version: {code} $ download-versions --copy 7.0.1 --date 2008/06/10 add 7.0.2 {endcode} *::: Update the 7.0.1 description: {code} $ download-versions update --description "Recent Stable Release" 7.0.1 {endcode} *:: If this is a new series, you will need to edit /p/condor/downloads/etc/downloads.conf and add a few lines. Search for the previous series and follow its example. In particular, as a "[release 7.4] section, using a previous release as a template. Also, for each "[mirror SOMETHING]" section, add a release_7_4 entry, using previous releases as a template. *:: Install the binaries into the new download system. This step is required. {code} $ download-install -v --mode symlink 7.0.2 /p/condor/public/binaries/v7.0/7.0.2 {endcode} *:: Here's how you would create a disabled 7.1.3 version, install binaries for it, and then enable it later, changing the date to match the actual release {code} $ download-versions add 7.1.3 --copy 7.1.2 --date +3 --descr "Latest Developer Release" --disable ... $ download-install -v --mode symlink 7.1.3 /p/condor/public/binaries/v7.1/7.1.3 ... $ download-versions up 7.1.3 --enable --today {endcode} *:: Push the new binaries out to the local mirror (parrot). If we didn't specify the "--mirror parrot", it'd push to all mirrors, including INFN, and that takes quite a while. A push to parrot usually takes on the order of 50 minutes or so. The binaries will be automatically pushed to all mirrors every AM, but this allows us to get it to one mirror at least. If you're prompted for a password, enter the password of the =condor= account on CSL machines. {code} $ download-push -v --mode real --mirror parrot 7.0.2 {endcode} *:: Generate symlinks to the binaries & push them out to the local mirror. This is also done by cron, twice per hour, so, if you didn't do this step, it'd get done for you. However, it only takes a few minutes, so I included it here. {code} $ download-gen-symlinks -v --mirror parrot {endcode} 1: Verify the downloads work. 1:: Download the binaries for one platform. Unpack them. Verify condor_version runs and returns the expected result. 1:: Download the binaries for a different platform. Unpack them. Verify that they look right. 1:: Download the source. Unpack it. Verify that it looks right. 1: Push native packages into the repositories. 1:: Find a machine with at least 3 GB scratch space 1:: Obtain the RUNID and the Condor's branch name ( stable | development ) 1:: If a new platform (OS or Arch) is added, see this {wiki: CondorRepos documentation } 1:: Check the mapping file to see if release platforms are correct {code} cat /p/condor/public/html/yum/files/mapping.txt {endcode} 1:: Invoke the script to download packages and update the repositories. The script will wait for confirmation; proceed by pressing enter. {code} /p/condor/public/html/yum/files/manage_repo.pl -i 24009 -s /scratch/kooburat -b stable Downloading from runid: 24009 Using scratch folder: /scratch/kooburat/condor_repo Put packages into stable repos Enter to confirm or Ctrl^C to cancel {endcode} 1: XXX This step needs a refinement in the script intellect. XXX {linebreak}{linebreak} Create matching glidein tarballs, and install in /p/condor/public/html/glidein/binaries. This process is handled by running the following script, replacing 7.1.1 with the version you are releasing: {code} make_glidein_tarballs 7.1.1 {endcode} This script is pretty crude, and it'll only work with version numbers (and directory names) of the form x.y.z, not vx.y.z. It puts the output files in /p/condor/public/binaries/glidein . The script expects to find the condor build tarballs either in the normal release directory in AFS or in a subdirectory of it named with the version numbers of the release. If anything goes wrong, ask Dan for help. {subsection: Announce the Release} Now the binaries are available for download. Condor is released. However, you need to promptly announce the release as well. 1: Note that following announcements are very generic. For minor bug fixes or features, that's fine. But if there is a major bug fix, a security fix, or a major new feature, call it out in the announcement. 1: Update the web HTML regarding this release *:: =cvs -d /p/condor/repository/HTML co condor-web= *:: =cd condor-web= *:: edit =src/lib/news.mas= (to add an announcement 'Whats New?') *::: Here is a sample announcement: {code} { date => 'January 22, 2008', title => 'Condor 7.0.0 released!', news => <Version History</a> for a complete list of changes. Condor 7.0.0 binaries and source code are available from <a href="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/downloads/">our Downloads page.</a> ENDNEWS }, {endcode} *:: edit =src/downloads/index.html= (to fix the release-specific text on the main downloads page) *:: touch =src/index.html= (so the main page updates with the version information from the =downloads/index.html= page) *:: touch =src/manual/index.html= (so the manual links update with the version information from the =downloads/index.html= page) *:: NOTE: if you're doing the first release of a new release series, you'll also need to edit: *::: =src/index.html= to: *:::: change the "The Condor Manual:" list of links (chances are good you'll want to remove something older when you add the new one -- we'll never want that list to be longer than 3 links). *::: =src/developers/index.html= to add the new series to the "Manuals and Other Documentation" list. *::: edit =src/manual/index.html= (to update which versions of each branch/release series are the current manual) *:: =cvs commit= (all of your changes in condor-web) *:: =./generate_html src= (to update the HTML on the web with your changes -- note this only works on 32 bit machines, the 64 bit lab machines are missing some perl module or another). 1: Send email to condor-world and condor-users. Here is a sample announcement: {code} Hello, The Condor Team is pleased to announce the release of Condor 7.0.0. This first release in a new stable series includes all new features added in the 6.9 development series. See the Version History for a complete list of changes. Condor 7.0.0 binaries and source code are available from our Downloads page. Version History: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.0/8_3Stable_Release.html#sec:New-7-0-0 Downloads Page: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/downloads/ Thank you for your interest in Condor! - The Condor Team {endcode} {subsection: Post Release} These are just as important at the release process proper! 1: Turn off the old downloads. These steps take a long time to run. Note that we typically want 5 different releases available for download: current stable (7.4.4), recent stable release (7.4.3), previous stable release (7.2.5), current developer release (7.5.4) and recent developer release (7.5.3). The "recent" releases are so people can revert if something terrible happens. The previous table release is for users who delay stable upgrades. *:: Disable the 7.0.0 (X.X.n-2) release. This prevents it from appearing in the download list. {code} download-versions up 7.0.0 --disable {endcode} *:: Delete the 7.0.0 release. The first step "download-delete" will delete the files maintained by the download subsystem. The second step "download-versions delete" will delete the version from the version database. So, do the following: {code} $ download-delete 7.0.0 {endcode} *:: NRL says: Don't do this, at least for now.... {code} $ download-versions delete 7.0.0 {endcode} 1: {wiki: ArchivingCondorToDvd Archive} release products to DVD. Get recordable DVDs from Ken (no sleeves!). Drop off the finished DVD with Pete, who will store it in a box in his filing cabinet. Include the following (the archiving directions include these): *:: Binary tarballs. _This includes archiving the unstripped binaries._ *:: Matching glidein tarballs. Get these from =/p/condor/public/binaries/glidein=. {code} $ ssh tonic "cd /p/condor/public/binaries; tar cf - glidein/7.1.3" | tar xvfpS - {endcode} *:: Source tarball. *:: Manual: tarball of HTML tree, and =ref.pdf=. The HTML files are in =/p/condor/public/html/manual=. Do something like this: {code} $ ssh tonic "cd /p/condor/public; tar cf - html/manual/v7.1.3" | tar xvfpS - {endcode} 1: Stash the condor repository onto nmi-s006 by doing something like: {code} $ ssh nmi-s006 $ cd /scratch/condor_stash $ sudo -u cndrauto ./stash_condor -v V7_4_1 {endcode} (Replace V7_4_1 with the git tag of whatever version you want the externals stashed for). Talk to Matyas if you have any problems/comments. 1: On nmi-s006, unpin the *previous* release of Condor in this series by using =/nmi/bin/nmi_pin=. You can find runid for the previous release in this series of Condor at GitBranchDescriptions. Do _not_ do this until you confirm that the previous Condor revision is archived to DVD. Example: If you are releasing Condor 7.0.1, then find the runid for 7.0.0 and unpin that when you know its DVD archival status. {code} $ nmi_pin --unpin --force {endcode} 1: Close out all {link: http://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/rptview?rn=14 tickets} fixed by this release. 1: Move unresolved tickets to the next release. ticket-target-mover, documented at ScriptingGitTrac may be assistance. 1: Update the {link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condor_High-Throughput_Computing_System Condor Wikipedia page} to indicate the current release. 1: Stop building the branch nightly: *:: =cd /p/condor/home/tools/cvs-tools= *:: Edit =create_build_tag-input= *:: Delete the section that defined the nightly build tag for this branch. *:: =cvs diff create_build_tag-input= (to verify the change before you commit it)... *:: =cvs commit -m "removed nightly build tags for V6_X_Y-branch" create_build_tag-input=
