This document describes the processes for making and announcing a Bazaar
5
release, and managing the release process.
7
We normally have one person acting as the release manager, who
8
organizes development for the release and also actually makes the release
9
tarball and posts announcements. It can be a different person from one
12

5
release, and managing the release process. This is just one phase of the
6
`overall development cycle <http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/developers/cycle.html>`_,
7
but it's the most complex part. This document gives a checklist you can
8
follow from start to end in one go.
10
If you're helping the Release Manager (RM) for one reason or another, you
11
may notice that he didn't follow that document scrupulously. He may have
12
good reasons to do that but he may also have missed some parts.
14
Follow the document yourself and don't hesitate to create the missing
15
milestones for example (we tend to forget these ones a lot).
20
Our usual process is that one week before release we will make a release
21
branch from the trunk. We do one commit to that branch to change the
22
version number to 'rc1', and advance the trunk version to 'dev' for the
25
We then publish and announce this release candidate according to the
26
process below. We then have a week of general testing of the rc,
27
including some time for plugin authors to update their code for any
30
Normally no changes will be made on the release branch unless serious bugs
31
or regressions are found, and the release manager decides they should be
32
merged in. After one week, the release branch's version number is updated
33
and it's published as the final release. If regressions or serious
34
problems are discovered after the final release we may make an additional
35
point release from that branch.
37
The process or timing can vary if that seems appropriate in a particular
38
case but we try to release on a regular four week cycle.
40
The net effect is that the code gets some extra testing before release,
41
and the trunk is always open for general development.

28
At the start of a release cycle
29
===============================
49
31
To start a new release cycle:
33
#. If this is the first release for a given *x.y* then create a new
34
series at <https://launchpad.net/bzr/+addseries>. There is one series
35
for every *x.y* release.
37
#. If you made a new series, create a new pqm-controlled branch for this
38
release series, by asking a Canonical sysadmin. This branch means that
39
from the first release beta or candidate onwards, general development
40
continues on the trunk, and only specifically-targeted fixes go into
43
#. If you made a new series, add milestones at
44
<https://edge.launchpad.net/bzr/x.y/+addmilestone> to that series for
45
the beta release, release candidate and the final release, and their
48
#. Create a new milestone <https://edge.launchpad.net/bzr/x.y/+addmilestone>
49
and add information about this release. We will not use it yet, but it
50
will be available for targeting or nominating bugs.
51
52
#. Send mail to the list with the key dates, who will be the release
52
manager, and the main themes or targetted bugs. Ask people to nominate
53
manager, and the main themes or targeted bugs. Ask people to nominate
53
54
objectives, or point out any high-risk things that are best done early,
54
or that interact with other changes.
56
#. Add a new "series" in Launchpad at <https://launchpad.net/bzr/+addseries>. There is one
57
series for every *x.y* release.
63
Every week the release manager should send a mail to the Bazaar list
64
covering these points (as appropriate):
66
* Early communication about changing dependencies or defaults
68
* Reminder re lifecycle and where we're up to right now, in particular the
69
dates for the next release and/or candidate.
71
* Summary of recent successes and pending work.
73
* Reminder re release objectives
75
* Reminder re things needing attention, e.g. bug triage, reviews, testing of certain things, etc.

.. Was previously at http://bazaar-vcs.org/ReleaseChecklist
83
.. TODO: Still needs more clarity on what's in a RC versus a final
86
This is the procedure for making a new bzr release:
88
#. If the release is the first candidate, make a new branch in PQM.
89
(Contact Robert Collins for this step).
91
Register the branch at https://launchpad.net/products/bzr/+addbranch

106
#. In the release branch, update ``version_info`` in
107

108
(This must match ``_script_version`` in the ``bzr`` script, but
109
that is updated at the start of the release cycle, and
110
doesn't need to say if it's an rc or final release.)
112
Run this command and check the output::

#. Add a new section at the top of ``NEWS`` about the new release,

#. Update the "What's New" documents in ``doc/en/whats-new``.

#. Commit this and send it to PQM.
92
Doing a particular release
93
==========================
95
Update the source code
96
----------------------
98
#. Check that there is a milestone for the release you're doing. If there
99
is no milestone it indicates a process problem - make the milestone but
100
also mail the list to raise this issue in our process. Milestones are
101
found at <https://launchpad.net/bzr/+milestone/x.y.z>.
103
#. In the release branch, update ``version_info`` in ``./bzrlib/__init__.py``.
104
Make sure the corresponding milestone exists.
105
Double check that ./bzr ``_script_version`` matches ``version_info``. Check
106
the output of ``bzr --version``.
108
For beta releases use::
110
version_info = (2, 1, 0, 'beta', SERIAL)
114
version_info = (2, 1, 0, 'beta', 1)
116
For release candidates use::
118
version_info = (2, 0, 1, 'candidate', SERIAL)
120
For stable releases use::
122
version_info = (2, 1, 2, 'final', 0)
124
#. Update the ``./NEWS`` section for this release.
126
Fill out the date and a description of the release under the existing
127
header. If there isn't one, follow the above for using the NEWS
130
See *2.1.1* or similar for an example of what this looks like.
132
#. Add a summary of the release into the "What's New" document.
134
#. To check that all bugs mentioned in ``./NEWS`` are actually marked as
135
closed in Launchpad, you can run ``tools/check-newsbugs.py``::
137
./tools/check-newsbugs.py NEWS
139
(But note there will be many false positives, and this script may be
140
flaky <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/354985>. Don't let
141
this slow you down too much.)
119
143
#. Commit these changes to the release branch, using a command like::
121
bzr commit -m "Release 0.12rc1."
145
bzr commit -m "Release 1.14."
123
147
The diff before you commit will be something like::

188
the Internet. PQM will pull from this repository when it attempts to merge
189
your changes. Then submit those changes to PQM for merge into the
190
appropriate release branch::
152
bzr pqm-submit -m "(mbp) prepare 1.6"

-------------------------
160
206
#. Change into the source directory and run ::
164
210
#. Now we'll try expanding this tarball and running the test suite
165
211
to check for packaging problems::
167
213
make check-dist-tarball
215
You may encounter failures while running the test suite caused
216
by your locally installed plugins. Use your own judgment to
217
decide if you can release with these failures. When in doubt,
218
disable the faulty plugins one by one until you get no more
221
Remember that PQM has just tested everything too, this step is
222
particularly testing that the pyrex extensions, which are updated
223
by your local pyrex version when you run make dist, are in good
227
Publishing the source tarball
228
-----------------------------
230
#. Go to the relevant milestone page in Launchpad.
232
#. Create a release of the milestone, and upload the source tarball and
233
the GPG signature. Or, if you prefer, use the
234
``tools/packaging/lp-upload-release`` script to do this. Note that
235
this changes what the download widget on the Launchpad bzr home
236
page shows, so don't stop the release process yet, or platform binary
237
installers won't be made and the download list will stay very small!
238
<https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/586445>
241
Announcing the source freeze
242
----------------------------
244
#. Post to the ``bazaar`` list, saying that the source has been frozen.
245
This is the cue for platform maintainers and plugin authors to update
246
their code. This is done before the general public announcement of the
250
Kick off the next cycle
251
-----------------------
253
#. To let developers work on the next release, do

256
#. Pause for a few days.

259
Publishing the release

260
----------------------
173
Now you have the releasable product. The next step is making it
262
There is normally a delay of a few days after the source freeze to allow
263
for binaries to be built on various platforms. Once they have been built,
264
we have a releasable product. The next step is to make it generally
174
265
available to the world.
176
#. In <https://launchpad.net/bzr/> click the "Release series" for this
177
series, to take you to e.g. <https://launchpad.net/bzr/1.1>. Then
178
click "Register a release", and add information about this release.
180
#. Within that release, upload the source tarball and the GPG signature.
182
#. Link from http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download to the tarball and signature.
184
#. Update http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/ to have a directory of documentation
185
for this release. (Controlled by the ``update-bzr-docs`` script on
186
escudero, and also update the ``latest`` symlink in
187
``/srv/bazaar.canonical.com/doc/``.)
189
#. Announce on the `Bazaar home page`__.
191
__ http://bazaar-vcs.org/
267
#. Go to the release web page at <https://launchpad.net/bzr/x.y/x.y.z>
269
#. Announce on the `Bazaar website <http://bazaar.canonical.com/>`_.
270
This page is edited via the lp:bzr-website branch. (Changes
271
pushed to this branch are refreshed by a cron job on escudero.)
273
#. Check that the documentation for this release is available in
274
<http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com>. It should be automatically build when the
275
branch is created, by a cron script ``update-bzr-docs`` on
276
``escudero``. As of today (2009-08-27) ``igc`` manually updates the
277
pretty version of it.
194
280
Announcing the release
197
283
Now that the release is publicly available, tell people about it.
199
#. Announce to ``bazaar-announce`` and ``bazaar`` mailing lists.
200
The announce mail will look something like this:
202
| Subject: bzr 0.11 release candidate 1
204
| INTRO HERE. Mention the release number and date, and why the release. (i.e. release candidate for testing, final release of a version, backport/bugfix etc).
207
| http://bazaar-vcs.org/releases/src/bzr-VERSION.tar.gz
209
| http://bazaar-vcs.org/releases/src/bzr-VERSION.tar.gz.sig
211
| DESCRIBE-CHANGES-IN-OVERVIEW-HERE
213
| DESCRIBE-when the next release will be (if there is another - i.e. this is a release candidate)
215
| Many thanks to all the contributors to this release! I've included the
216
| contents of NEWS for VERSION below:
218
To generate the data from NEWS, just copy and paste the relevant news section and clean it up as appropriate. The main clean-up task is to confirm that all major changes are indeed covered. This can be done by running ``bzr log`` back to the point when the branch was opened and cross checking the changes against the NEWS entries.
220
(RC announcements should remind plugin maintainers to update their plugins.)
222
* For point releases (i.e. a release candidate, or an incremental fix
223
to a released version) take everything in the relevant NEWS section. For
224
example, for 0.11rc2 take everything in NEWS from the bzr 0.11rc2 line to the bzr 0.11rc1 line further down.
226
* For major releases (i.e. 0.11, 0.12 etc), take all the combined NEWS sections from within that version: for 0.11 take all of the 0.11 specific section, plus 0.11rc2, plus 0.11rc1 etc.
228
#. Update the IRC channel topic. Use the ``/topic`` command to do this, ensuring the new topic text keeps the project name, web site link, etc.
285
#. Make an announcement mail.
287
For release candidates or beta releases, this is sent to the ``bazaar``
288
list only to inform plugin authors and package or installer managers.
290
Once the installers are available, the mail can be sent to the
291
``bazaar-announce`` list too.
293
For final releases, it should also be cc'd to ``info-gnu@gnu.org``,
294
``python-announce-list@python.org``, ``bug-directory@gnu.org``.
296
In all cases, it is good to set ``Reply-To: bazaar@lists.canonical.com``,
297
so that people who reply to the announcement don't spam other lists.
299
The announce mail will look something like this::
301
Subject: bzr x.y.z released!
303
<<Summary paragraph from news>>
305
The Bazaar team is happy to announce availability of a new
306

Merging the released code back to trunk
257
347
---------------------------------------
349
The rule is to keep ``NEWS`` sections sorted by date. You'll need to
350
review the merge and make sure that that is respected.
259
352
Merge the release branch back into the trunk. Check that changes in NEWS
260
353
were merged into the right sections. If it's not already done, advance
261
354
the version number in ``bzr`` and ``bzrlib/__init__.py``. Submit this
262
355
back into pqm for bzr.dev.
265
Updating the PPA for a new release
266
----------------------------------
268
We build Ubuntu ``.deb`` packages for Bazaar as an important part of the release
269
process. These packages are hosted in a few `Personal Package Archives (PPA)`__ on
272
__ https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart
274
As of June 2008, there are actually two PPAs:
276
<https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive>
277
Final released versions.
279
<https://launchpad.net/~bzr-beta-ppa/+archive>
280
Releases and release candidates.
282
We build packages for every supported Ubuntu release
283
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases>. Packages need no longer be updated
284
when the release passes end-of-life because all users should
285
updated by then. (As of May 2009, Edgy Eft is no longer supported.)
287
The ``debian/`` directory containing the packaging information is kept in
288
branches on Launchpad, named like
289
<https://code.launchpad.net/~bzr/bzr/packaging-hardy>.
291
Preconditions for building these packages:
293
* You must have a Launchpad account and be a member of the `~bzr`__ team
295
__ https://edge.launchpad.net/~bzr/+members>
297
* You must have a GPG key registered to your Launchpad account.
299
* Configure ``dput`` to upload to our PPA with this section in your
303
fqdn = ppa.launchpad.net
305
incoming = ~bzr-beta-ppa/ubuntu
307
allow_unsigned_uploads = 0
310
fqdn = ppa.launchpad.net
312
incoming = ~bzr/ubuntu
314
allow_unsigned_uploads = 0
316
You may also want to add these lines to prevent inadvertently attempting
317
to upload into Ubuntu or Debian, which will give a somewhat unclear
321
default_host_main = notspecified
324
fqdn = SPECIFY.A.PPA.NAME
326
* You need a Ubuntu (or probably Debian) machine, and ::
328
sudo apt-get install build-essential devscripts dput quilt patch
330
Here is the process; there are some steps which should be automated in
333
#. You will need a working directory for each supported release, such as
334
``~/bzr/Packaging/hardy``
336
#. Download the official tarball of the release to e.g. ``~/bzr/Releases``
338
#. Copy the original tarball into your per-disto directory, then untar
341
cp -l ~/bzr/Releases/bzr-1.3.tar.gz bzr_1.3.orig.tar.gz
342
tar xfvz bzr_1.3.orig.tar.gz
344
The bzrtools extracted directory does not contain a version number
345
and must be renamed::
347
mv bzrtools bzrtools-1.3.0
349
#. Change into that directory and check out the packaging branch::

#. For Bazaar plugins, change the ``debian/control`` file to express a
357
dependency on the correct version of ``bzr``.
359
For bzrtools this is typically::
361
Build-Depends-Indep: bzr (>= 1.3~), rsync
362
Depends: ${python:Depends}, bzr (>= 1.3~), bzr (<< 1.4~), patch
364
#. Make a new ``debian/changelog`` entry for the new release,
365
either by using ``dch`` or just editing the file::
367
dch -v '1.3-1~bazaar1' -D hardy
369
dch will default to the distro you're working in and this isn't checked
370
against the version number (which is just our conversion), so make sure
373
**Caution:** Release candidates must insert a tilde to make them sort
374
before the final release, like this: ``bzr-1.4~rc2-1~bazaar1``.
376
Make sure you have the correct email address for yourself, version
377
number, and distribution. It should look something like this::
379
bzr (1.3-1~bazaar1) hardy; urgency=low
381
* New upstream release.

385
If you need to upload the package again to fix a problem, normally you
386
should increment the last number in the version number, following the
387
distro name. Make sure not to omit the initial ``-1``, and make sure
388
that the distro name in the version is consistent with the target name
389
outside the parenthesis.
391
#. Commit these changes into the packaging branch::
393
bzr ci -m '1.3-1~bazaar1: New upstream release.' debian
395
#. Build a source package::
399
This will create a ``.changes`` file in the per-distro directory,
400
and should invoke gpg to sign it with your key.
401
Check that file is reasonable: it should be uploading to the intended
402
distribution, have a .orig file included, and the right version number.
404
#. Upload into the appropriate PPA, either ``bzr-ppa`` or
407
dput bzr-ppa ../bzr__1.3-1\~bazaar1\_source.changes
409
#. Copy the uploaded package over to other Ubuntu releases, taking advantage
410
of Launchpad's Copy Package feature <https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive/+copy-packages>
412
**Note:** The packaging dependencies may vary between different distro series.
413
As of bzr 1.5, Dapper uses ``python-support`` and later distributions use
415
If you upload a release-specific version, you should add a ~release1 to
416
the package version, for example:: bzr.1.3-1~bazaar1~dapper1
418
#. You should soon get an "upload accepted" mail from Launchpad, which
419
means that your package is waiting to be built. You can then track its
420
progress in <https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive> and
421
<https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive/+builds>.
423
If you add all the bzr PPAs to your ``sources.list`` then you can see a
424
summary of current package versions with::
426
apt-cache madison bzr
357
As soon as you change the version number in trunk, make sure you have
358
created the corresponding milestone to ensure the continuity in bug
359
targeting or nominating. Depending on the change, you may even have to
360
create a new series (if your change the major or minor release number), in
361
that case go to `At the start of a release cycle` and follow the instructions from there.
363
You should also merge (not pull) the release branch into
364
``lp:~bzr/bzr/current``, so that branch contains the current released code
367
Releases until the final one
368
----------------------------
370
Congratulations - you have made your first release. Have a beer
371
or fruit juice - it's on the house! If it was a beta, or
372
candidate, you're not finished yet. Another beta or candidate or
373
hopefully a final release is still to come.
375
The process is the same as for the first release. Goto `Doing a
376
particular release`_ and follow the instructions again. Some details change
377
between beta, candidate and final releases, but they should be
378
documented. If the instructions aren't clear enough, please fix them.
381
Getting the release into Ubuntu
382
-------------------------------
384
(Feel free to propose or add new sections here about what we should do to
385
get bzr into other places.)
387
For the currently-under-development release of Ubuntu, no special action
388
is needed: the release should be picked by Debian and synced from there into
391
Releases off stable bzr branches should go in to the ``-updates`` of the
392
Ubuntu release that originally contained that branch. (Ubuntu Lucid had
393
bzr 2.2.0, so should get every 2.2.x update.) This means going through
394
the `SRU (Stable Release Updates)
395
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates>`__ process.
397
As of September 2010, bzr has applied to the technical board to be added
398
to the `MicroReleaseExceptions
399
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/MicroReleaseExceptions>`__
400
category so that whole bugfix releases can more easily be approved.
402
**After making a bzr stable-release release, nominate the most serious bug
403
for the appropriate Ubuntu release and subscribe the `ubuntu-sru` team.**
405
This requires a couple of tricks (please reconsider and tweak as things
406
evolves from one release to the other):
408
* create a distro task with the ``Also affects distribution`` button and
409
select ``bzr (Ubuntu)``.
411
* change the *URL* to point to ``ubuntu/+source/bzr`` instead of ``bzr``
412
(this is needed if you create the distro task but not if it exists
413
already). You should now be able to click the ``Nominate for release``
414
button and select the right Ubuntu release. As of September 2010, this
417
* ``maverick`` for the 2.2 series,
418
* ``lucid`` for the 2.1 series,
419
* ``karmic`` for the 2.0 series.
421
* Subscribe the ``~ubuntu-sru`` team to the bug.
423
* Add a comment targeted to ``~ubuntu-sru`` explaining the expectations
424
(we are targeting running the test suite during the build which, as of
425
September 2010, fails for known reasons that are currently addressed).
426
Search for bugs tagged with ``sru`` for examples and don't forget to tag
427
the bug you selected.
433
* `Packaging into the bzr PPA <ppa.html>`_ to make and publish Ubuntu
435
* `Bazaar Developer Document Catalog <index.html>`_
436
* `Development cycles <cycle.html>`_: things that happen during the cycle
437
before the actual release.
