How to cut a new release:ΒΆ

  • run bumpversion with major, minor or patch to bump the version in:

    • src/scancode/__init__.py

    • setup.py

    • Update the CHANGELOG.rst

  • commit changes and push changes to develop:

    • git commit -m "commit message"

    • git push --set-upstream origin develop

  • merge develop branch in master and tag the release.

    • git checkout master

    • git merge develop

    • git tag -a v1.6.1 -m "Release v1.6.1"

    • git push --set-upstream origin master

    • git push --set-upstream origin v1.6.1

  • draft a new release in GitHub, using the previous release blurb as a base. Highlight new and noteworthy changes from the CHANGELOG.rst.

  • run etc/release/release.sh locally.

  • upload the release archives created in the dist/ directory to the GitHub release page.

  • save the release as a draft. Use the previous release notes to create notes in the same style. Ensure that the link to third-party source code is present.

  • test the downloads.

  • publish the release on GitHub

  • then build and publish the released wheel on Pypi. For this you need your own Pypi credentials (and get authorized to publish Pypi release: ask @pombredanne) and you need to have the twine package installed and configured.

    • Build a .whl with python setup.py bdist_wheel

    • Run twine with twine upload dist/<path to the built wheel>

    • Once uploaded check the published release at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/scancode-toolkit/

    • Then create a new fresh local virtualenv and test the wheel installation with: pip install scancode-toolkit
