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 checkout master
  • git pull
  • git status - make sure everything is checked in
  • Check GitHub actions build for master is Green
  • make test # see integration test server or run locally
  • make tag
  • edit docs/content/changelog.md # make sure to remove duplicate logs from point releases
  • make tidy
  • 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 GitHub builds to complete then...

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

  • announce with forum post, twitter post, patreon post

Early in the next release cycle update the 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

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 v1.52
  • NEW_TAG=${BASE_TAG}.Y # eg v1.52.1
  • echo $BASE_TAG $NEW_TAG # v1.52 v1.52.1
  • git branch ${BASE_TAG} ${BASE_TAG}-stable

Now

  • FIXME this is now broken with new semver layout - needs fixing
  • FIXME the TAG=${NEW_TAG} shouldn't be necessary any more
  • git co ${BASE_TAG}-stable
  • git cherry-pick any fixes
  • Test (see above)
  • make NEXT_VERSION=${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 ${BASE_TAG}-stable
  • Wait for builds to complete
  • make BRANCH_PATH= TAG=${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 VERSION=${NEW_TAG} startdev

  • cherry pick the changes to the changelog and VERSION

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

Making a manual build of docker

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

docker pull golang
docker build --rm --ulimit memlock=67108864  -t rclone/rclone:1.52.0 -t rclone/rclone:1.52 -t rclone/rclone:1 -t rclone/rclone:latest .
docker push rclone/rclone:1.52.0
docker push rclone/rclone:1.52
docker push rclone/rclone:1
docker push rclone/rclone:latest
