# Release process
The release process follows the usual PR-and-review flow, allowing an external reviewer to have a final check before publishing a release.
## Requirements
This guide requires:
* a web browser (and network connectivity)
* `git`
* GPG setup and personal key for signing
* [git-evtag](https://github.com/cgwalters/git-evtag/)
* write access to the git repository
* upload access to this project on GitHub
## Release checklist
- Prepare local environment:
- [ ] `git remote get-url --push origin`
- [ ] validate that the output above points to `git@github.com:ostreedev/ostree.git`
- [ ] `git checkout main && git pull`
- [ ] `git clean -fd`
- [ ] `RELEASE_VER=yyyy.n` (matching `package_version` in `configure.ac`)
- [ ] `git checkout -b release-${RELEASE_VER}`
- Prepare the release commits:
- [ ] `sed -i -e 's/^is_release_build=no/is_release_build=yes/' configure.ac`
- [ ] move the new-symbols stanza (if any) from `src/libostree/libostree-devel.sym` to `src/libostree/libostree-released.sym`
- [ ] comment the `src/libostree/libostree-devel.sym` include in `Makefile-libostree.am`
- [ ] update `tests/test-symbols.sh` with the new digest from `sha256sum src/libostree/libostree-released.sym`
- [ ] `git commit -a -m "Release ${RELEASE_VER}"`
- [ ] `RELEASE_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse HEAD)`
- [ ] `./autogen.sh && make dist`
- [ ] update `year_version` and `release_version` in `configure.ac` for the next development cycle
- [ ] `sed -i -e 's/^is_release_build=yes/is_release_build=no/' configure.ac`
- [ ] `git commit -a -m 'configure: post-release version bump'`
- Open a PR to create the release:
- [ ] `git push -u origin release-${RELEASE_VER}`
- [ ] open a web browser and create a PR for the branch above, titled `Release ${RELEASE_VER}`
- [ ] make sure the resulting PR contains two commits
- [ ] in the PR body, write a short summary of relevant changes since last release (using `git shortlog` too)
- [ ] get the PR reviewed, approved and merged
- Publish the tag:
- [ ] `git fetch origin && git checkout ${RELEASE_COMMIT}`
- [ ] `git-evtag sign v${RELEASE_VER}`
- [ ] `git push --tags origin v${RELEASE_VER}`
- Publish the release and artifacts on GitHub:
- [ ] find the new tag in the [GitHub tag list](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/tags) and click the triple dots menu, then create a release for it
- [ ] write a short changelog (i.e. re-use the PR content)
- [ ] attach `libostree-{RELEASE_VER}.tar.xz`
- [ ] publish release
- Clean up:
- [ ] `git clean -fd`
- [ ] `git checkout main`
- [ ] `git pull`
- [ ] `git push origin :release-${RELEASE_VER}`
- [ ] `git branch -d release-${RELEASE_VER}`
