Release

This file describes how to make the various kinds of releases

Extra required software for making a release

  • github-release for uploading packages
  • pandoc for making the html and man pages

Making a release

  • git status - make sure everything is checked in
  • Check travis & appveyor builds are green
  • make check
  • make test # see integration test server or run locally
  • make tag
  • edit docs/content/changelog.md
  • make doc
  • git status - to check for new man pages - git add them
  • git commit -a -v -m "Version v1.XX.0"
  • make retag
  • git push --tags origin master

  • Wait for the appveyor and travis builds to complete then...

  • make fetch_binaries
  • make tarball
  • make sign_upload
  • make check_sign
  • make upload
  • make upload_website
  • make upload_github
  • make startdev

  • announce with forum post, twitter post, G+ post

Early in the next release cycle update the vendored dependencies

  • Review any pinned packages in go.mod and remove if possible
  • make update
  • git status
  • git add new files
  • git commit -a -v

If make update fails with errors like this:

# github.com/cpuguy83/go-md2man/md2man
../../../../pkg/mod/github.com/cpuguy83/go-md2man@v1.0.8/md2man/md2man.go:11:16: undefined: blackfriday.EXTENSION_NO_INTRA_EMPHASIS
../../../../pkg/mod/github.com/cpuguy83/go-md2man@v1.0.8/md2man/md2man.go:12:16: undefined: blackfriday.EXTENSION_TABLES

Can be fixed with

* GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/russross/blackfriday@v1.5.2
* GO111MODULE=on go mod tidy
* GO111MODULE=on go mod vendor

Making a point release

If rclone needs a point release due to some horrendous bug:

First make the release branch. If this is a second point release then this will be done already.

  • BASE_TAG=v1.XX # eg v1.49
  • NEW_TAG=${BASE_TAG}.Y # eg v1.49.1
  • echo $BASE_TAG $NEW_TAG # v1.49 v1.49.1
  • git branch ${BASE_TAG} ${BASE_TAG}-fixes

Now

  • git co ${BASE_TAG}-fixes
  • git cherry-pick any fixes
  • Test (see above)
  • make NEW_TAG=${NEW_TAG} tag
  • edit docs/content/changelog.md
  • make TAG=${NEW_TAG} doc
  • git commit -a -v -m "Version ${NEW_TAG}"
  • git tag -d ${NEW_TAG}
  • git tag -s -m "Version ${NEW_TAG}" ${NEW_TAG}
  • git push --tags -u origin ${BASE_TAG}-fixes
  • Wait for builds to complete
  • make BRANCH_PATH= TAG=${NEW_TAG} fetch_binaries
  • make TAG=${NEW_TAG} tarball
  • make TAG=${NEW_TAG} sign_upload
  • make TAG=${NEW_TAG} check_sign
  • make TAG=${NEW_TAG} upload
  • make TAG=${NEW_TAG} upload_website
  • make TAG=${NEW_TAG} upload_github
  • NB this overwrites the current beta so we need to do this
  • git co master
  • make LAST_TAG=${NEW_TAG} startdev

  • cherry pick the changes to the changelog and VERSION

  • git checkout ${BASE_TAG}-fixes VERSION docs/content/changelog.md
  • git commit --amend
  • git push
  • Announce!

Making a manual build of docker

The rclone docker image should autobuild on docker hub. If it doesn't or needs to be updated then rebuild like this.

docker build -t rclone/rclone:1.49.1 -t rclone/rclone:1.49 -t rclone/rclone:1 -t rclone/rclone:latest .
docker push rclone/rclone:1.49.1
docker push rclone/rclone:1.49
docker push rclone/rclone:1
docker push rclone/rclone:latest
