What to do for a release

Updated guidelines for Git

Translation update

Run the following steps:

git checkout gramps52
git pull
cd po

For Gramps 3.4 and earlier use:

./genpot.sh

For Gramps 4.x use (See New environment and differences between tools. See po/update_po.py to generate a new template/catalog (gramps.pot).)

python update_po.py -p  
git 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:

git log gramps-5.2.1.. --pretty --numstat --summary --no-merges | git2cl > ChangeLog
git log gramps-5.2.1.. --pretty --numstat --summary --no-merges -- po/*.po | git2cl > po/ChangeLog

Using the Changelog files generated with git2cl in the step above, edit and update the NEWS file. Commit the NEWS file:

git commit -am "update for 5.2.1 release"

Working on VERSION

Gramps 4.2.x

  • 4.2.x

Check gramps/version.py to indicate an official release:

gedit gramps/version.py 

and if need, update the version for the release:

VERSION_TUPLE = (4, 2, 0)

Modify gramps/gen/const.py to indicate an official release:

- VERSION += git_revision
+ VERSION += "-1"

Save change:

git add .
git commit -am "make official release"

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

python Gramps.py

or

python Gramps.py -v

Gramps 3.4.x

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$(git log -1 --format=%h .)
+dnl RELEASE=0.SVN$(git log -1 --format=%h .)
2) And change this line:
-dnl RELEASE=1
+RELEASE=1

Save these two changes.

git commit -am "make official release" configure.in

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

./autogen.sh
python src/gramps.py

Create a tag

Create the release tag:

git tag -am "tag 5.2.1" gramps-5.2.1

git push origin gramps-5.2.1

Work on tag

Revert change on gramps/gen/const.py to indicate git revision:

+ VERSION += get_git_revision(ROOT_DIR)

Save change:

git commit -am "bump to <new version number>"
git push
