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
    • GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/spf13/cobra@master
  • 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, then

  • git branch v1.XX v1.XX-fixes
  • git cherry-pick any fixes
  • Test (see above)
  • make NEW_TAG=v1.XX.1 tag
  • edit docs/content/changelog.md
  • make TAG=v1.43.1 doc
  • git commit -a -v -m "Version v1.XX.1"
  • git tag -d -v1.XX.1
  • git tag -s -m "Version v1.XX.1" v1.XX.1
  • git push --tags -u origin v1.XX-fixes
  • make BRANCH_PATH= TAG=v1.43.1 fetch_binaries
  • make TAG=v1.43.1 tarball
  • make TAG=v1.43.1 sign_upload
  • make TAG=v1.43.1 check_sign
  • make TAG=v1.43.1 upload
  • make TAG=v1.43.1 upload_website
  • make TAG=v1.43.1 upload_github
  • NB this overwrites the current beta so after the release, rebuild the last travis build
  • Announce!
