Release process

Resulting artifacts

Creating a new release creates the following artifacts:

  • Container images:
    • calico/ctl:$VERSION and calico/ctl:latest
    • quay.io/calico/ctl:$VERSION and quay.io/calico/ctl:latest
  • Binaries (stored in the dist directory) :
    • calicoctl
    • calicoctl-darwin-amd64
    • calicoctl-windows-amd64.exe

Preparing for a release

  1. Make sure you are on the master branch and don't have any local uncommitted changes. e.g. Update the libcalico-go pin to the latest release in glide.yaml and run glide up -v, create PR, ensure test pass and merge.

  2. Pre-requisites for pushing container images:

    • Make sure you have write access to calico orgs on Dockerhub and quay.io.
    • Login using your dockerhub credentials.
    • docker login in your terminal.
    • For quay.io:
      1. Go to your account on quay.io
      2. Go to the account settings
      3. Go to the "settings" tab
      4. Click on "Generate Encrypted Password", it will popup a new sub-window
      5. Go to "Docker login" tab in that window
      6. Copy the command with encrypted password and paste it in your terminal
    • Now you should be able to push the container images with docker push command.

  3. Update the sub-component versions in the Makefile:

    • GO_BUILD_VER

  4. If build fails during make release, make sure git tag is deleted before doing make release again. (This can be done with git tag -d <tag>)

Creating the release

  1. Choose a version e.g. export VERSION=v1.0.0
  2. Create the release artifacts repositories make release VERSION=$VERSION.
  3. Follow the instructions to push the artifacts and git tag.
  4. Create a release on Github, using the tag which was just pushed.
  5. Attach the following calicoctl binaries:
    • calicoctl
    • calicoctl-darwin-amd64
    • calicoctl-windows-amd64.exe
  6. Add release notes for calicoctl. Use https://github.com/projectcalico/calicoctl/compare/<previous_release>...<new_release> to find all the commit messages since the last release.
