Creating a Release
==================
Prerequisites
-------------
- Push access to the ``syncthing`` repo, for pushing a new tag.
- SSH account on the signing server.
Process
-------
Make sure the build seems sane. I.e. the build is clean on the build
server, the integration tests pass without complaints.
Update the documentation and translations, and commit the result.
.. code-block:: bash
$ ./build.sh prerelease
$ git commit -m "Translation and docs update"
$ git push
Create a new, signed tag on master, with the version as comment, and
push it:
.. code-block:: bash
$ git tag -a -s -m v0.10.15 v0.10.15
$ git push --tags
(The tag is signed with your personal key. The binary releases will be signed
by the Syncthing Release key later.)
Trigger the ``syncthing-release`` job for the newly created
tag and wait for it to complete successfully before moving on.
Run ``go run script/changelog.go`` (in the repo) to create the changelog
comparison from the previous release. Copy to clipboard.
On the Github releases page, select the newly pushed tag and hit "Edit
Tag". Set the "Release title" to the same version as the tag, paste in
the changelog from above, and publish the release.
On the signing server, logged in via ssh, run ``sign-upload-release``. This
will create download the build artefacts from Jenkins, sign all the binaries,
create the sha1sum and sha256sum files, sign them with the release GPG key and
upload the whole shebang to Github.
Verify it looks sane on the releases page.
