Release Checklist

The following steps are partially automated by Makefile release-{major,minor} targets.

In upstream git repository (https://github.com/abrt)

1. rename the unreleased section in NEWS to the new version and create an empty unreleased section
2. create source (tarball)
3. create a release commit
4. create git tag
5. push the created commit and tag into git repository.
6. go to https://github.com/abrt/satyr/releases, draft a new release using the most recent tag (the one that you just pushed) and attach satyr-X.Y.tar.gz that was generated when you ran make dist

Example for a minor release:

1. $ vim NEWS
2. $ git add NEWS
3. $ make release-minor
4. $ git push origin master
5. $ git push --tags origin master
6. $ make dist

In dist-git repository

Clone the repository via $ fedpkg clone $REPO_NAME.

1. add a new source file (you get the file from upstream repo) $ fedpkg new-sources $UPSTREAM_SOURCE_TARBALL
2. modify spec file
   • change Version to the new one
   • set Release to 1%{?dist}
   • address all changes which was done in upstream spec file from last release (specfile is not shipped by source file)
   • add a changelog entry
3. stage spec file $ git add $SPECFILE and create a new commit $ git commit -s
4. try local build if you are on the right system $ fedpkg local
5. try scratch build in koji $ koji build --scratch $FEDORA_VERSION $SRPM (FEDORA_VERSION is for example rawhide or f25)
6. push created commit into dist-git $ fedpkg push
7. do a build $ fedpkg build
8. submit update to bodhi https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/
