What to do for a release

Guidelines for version 4.0

These notes are based on version 4.0.0alpha1, released in December 2012. The steps assume a working gramps40 source directory.

Translation update

Run the following steps:

cd gramps40
svn update
cd po
python update_po.py -p # or intltool-update -p , .genpot.sh see New environment
svn diff gramps.pot

If there have been changes, you'll need to commit gramps.pot and ask translators to update their .po files before you can make a release.

Release name

Refer to (and update) the list of previous releases to select an appropriate name.

Changelog and NEWS file

Create the changelog files:

svn2cl --reparagraph --include-rev --authors=data/authors.xml
cd po
svn2cl --reparagraph --include-rev --authors=data/authors.xml
cd ..

Using the Changelog files generated with svn2cl in the step above, edit and update the NEWS file. Commit the NEWS file. Note the svn commit revision number, which you'll need in the next step when you create the subversion tag:

svn commit -m "update for 4.0.0-alpha1 release"
Committed revision 20810.

Working on VERSION

Modify setup.py to indicate an official release:

gedit setup.py 

and update the version for the release:

VERSION = "4.0.0-alpha1"

Save change.

svn commit -m "make official release" setup.py

The version number should be the same on "about" dialog:

python Gramps.py

Subversion tag

Using the previous commit revision number, create a tag for the new release:

svn copy -r 20810 https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/maintenance/gramps40 https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/tags/gramps-4.0.0-alpha1 -m "tag 4.0.0 alpha1"
Committed revision 20811.

Changelog and source tarball

The Changelog files are required for the source tarball, but do not commit to subversion:

svn2cl --reparagraph --include-rev --authors=data/authors.xml
cd po
svn2cl --reparagraph --include-rev --authors=data/authors.xml
cd ..

Create the official source tarball:

python setup.py sdist

Note you should now have the file dist/gramps-4.0.0-alpha1.tar.gz, approximately 12.2 Mo in size.

Making the source tarball available

Announcing the new release

Post-release

  • in trunk, merge forward the NEWS file

Guidelines for version 3.4 and before

These notes are based on version 3.4.1, released in August 2012. The steps assume a working gramps34 source directory.

Translation update

Run the following steps:

cd gramps34
svn update
cd po
make gramps.pot
svn diff gramps.pot

If there have been changes, you'll need to commit gramps.pot and ask translators to update their .po files before you can make a release.

Release name

Refer to (and update) the list of previous releases to select an appropriate name.

Changelog and NEWS file

Create the changelog files:

svn2cl --reparagraph --include-rev --authors=src/data/authors.xml
cd po
svn2cl --reparagraph --include-rev --authors=../src/data/authors.xml
cd ..

Using the Changelog files generated with svn2cl in the step above, edit and update the NEWS file. Commit the NEWS file. Note the svn commit revision number, which you'll need in the next step when you create the subversion tag:

svn commit -m "update for 3.4.1 release"
Committed revision 20254.

Subversion tag

Using the previous commit revision number, create a tag for the new release:

svn copy -r 20254 https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/maintenance/gramps34 https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/tags/gramps-3.4.1 -m "tag 3.4.1"
Committed revision 20255.

Working on the tag

Check out the new tag:

cd ..
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/tags/gramps-3.4.1
cd gramps-3.4.1

Modify configure.in to indicate an official release:

gedit configure.in

There are two changes to make:

1) Change the following line:
-RELEASE=0.SVN$(svnversion -n .)
+dnl RELEASE=0.SVN$(svnversion -n .)
2) And change this line:
-dnl RELEASE=1
+RELEASE=1

Save these two changes.

svn commit -m "make official release" configure.in

Now run the following and check the version number in the "about" dialog:

./autogen.sh
make
python src/gramps.py

Changelog and source tarball

Re-create (or copy from above) the 2 Changelog files. The Changelog files are required for the source tarball, but do not commit to subversion:

svn2cl --reparagraph --include-rev --authors=src/data/authors.xml
cd po
svn2cl --reparagraph --include-rev --authors=../src/data/authors.xml
cd ..

Create the official source tarball:

make distcheck

Note you should now have the file gramps-3.4.1.tar.gz, approximately 9.6 Mo in size.

Making the source tarball available

Announcing the new release

Post-release

  • in gramps34, bump the version number in configure.in and src/const.py.in
  • in trunk, merge forward the NEWS file
