Contents
Updated guidelines for Git
Translation update
Run the following steps:
git checkout gramps52 git pull cd po
Gramps 4.x
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
Look at the changelog:
git log v5.2.1.. --pretty --numstat --summary --no-merges > ChangeLog
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 += git_revision
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
Create a tag
Create the release tag:
git tag -am "tag 5.2.1" v5.2.1
Tags should be prefixed with the letter v.
Push to repository
Push the changes to the repository:
git push origin v5.2.1
Work on tag
Move to the new release number on branch
Gramps 4.2.x
- 4.0.x
Bump the version number in gramps/version.py
Update the version for the release:
VERSION_TUPLE = (4, 0, ...)
Revert change on gramps/gen/const.py to indicate git revision:
- #VERSION += get_git_revision + VERSION += get_git_revision
Save change:
git commit -am "bump to <new version number>" git push
Release from tag
git checkout <tag> -b <new_branch_name>
Gramps 4.2.x
git log v5.2.1.. --pretty --numstat --summary --no-merges | git2cl > ChangeLog cd po git log v5.2.1.. --pretty --numstat --summary --no-merges -- *.po | git2cl > ChangeLog
Using the Changelog files generated with git2cl,
