checklist for doing a release:
1. Check to make sure weewx.conf doesn't have any local changes.
In particular, check to make sure:
1. WEEWX_ROOT points to /home/weewx
2. debug=0 in weewx.conf
2. Make sure the correct version has been entered:
1. weewx.__init__.py
2. weewx.conf
3. docs/customizing.htm docs/upgrading.htm docs/usersguide.htm
3. Make sure all changes have been logged
1. docs/changes.txt
2. pkg/debian/changelog.rpm
3. pkg/changelog
4. Make sure the upgrading guide has been updated if necessary.
5. If working off a branch, do a merge to master.
6. Create the tarball: ./setup.py sdist
7. As a final sanity check, go to the production machine, unpack the
tarball, install, run.
8. Tag it: git tag -a v1.3.1 -m "Version 1.3.1 release"
9. Upload to SourceForge:
1. make upload-src
2. make upload-readme
3. Select the new tarball as the Mac, Linux, and BSD distribution
10. Update docs on the web site:
1. make upload-docs
11. Update the web site:
1. Add to the news page.
2. Upload news.htm to the web server.
12. Run a backup on condor
13. Announce the release to the weewx user's group.
release process by command: ---------------------------------------------------
# on any host, do a fresh checkout, set the version and update changelogs
git clone https://github.com/weewx/weewx.git
vi bin/weewx/__init__.py
make version
make deb-changelog
make rpm-changelog
vi docs/changes.txt # as needed
vi docs/upgrading.htm # as needed
git commit -a -m "release x.y.z"
git push
# generate the readme then upload it to development_versions
make readme upload-readme
# on debian host, build src and deb, upload to development_versions
rm -rf build dist
make src-package deb-package upload-src deb-package
# on redhat host, build the redhat rpm package, upload to development_versions
rm -rf build dist
make rpm-package upload-rpm
# on suse host, build the suse rpm package, upload to development_versions
rm -rf build dist
make rpm-package upload-rpm
# tag the release
git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "tag release X.Y.Z"
# upload the docs
git clone https://github.com/weewx/website.git
make upload-docs
# at sourceforge, move the new files into position
mv development_versions/weewx-x.y.z* .
mv development_versions/README.txt .
notes -------------------------------------------------------------------------
create README.txt for sourceforge:
make readme
how to update the version number:
modify __version__ in bin/weewx/__init__.py # canonical version location
make version # this propagates the version number everywhere
svn commit -m "..." # commit the change to the repository
how to build source package:
make src-package
how to build debian package:
make deb-changelog
emacs pkg/debian/changelog # add any package-specific changes, if any
svn commit -m "update deb changelog"
make deb-package
how to build redhat package:
make rpm-changelog
emacs pkg/changelog.rpm # add any package-specific changes, if any
svn commit -m "update rpm changelog"
make rpm-package
to display debconf variables:
sudo debconf-show weewx
to manually purge debconf variables:
sudo echo PURGE | debconf-communicate weewx
to sign rpm packages you need .rpmmacros in your home directory:
~/.rpmmacros
%_signature gpg
%_gpg_name Matthew Wall
to generate gpg key used for signing packages:
gpg --gen-key
gpg --list-keys
to export the text version of a public key:
gpg --export -a "Matthew Wall" > mwall.gpg.key
notes:
there are multiple changelogs:
docs/changes.txt - definitive changelog for the application
pkg/debian/changelog - changes to the debian packaging
pkg/changelog.rpm - changes to the redhat packaging
README.txt - copy of changes.txt uploaded to sourceforge files directory
when signing, gpg info must match the name and email in the latest package
changelog entry.
the debian changelog *must* have a version number that matches the app version.
the redhat package will build if the version numbers do not match. use the
rpm-changelog and deb-changelog targets to ensure that changelog versions match
the application version for a release.
there are many ways to build a debian package. first tried dpkg (uses DEBIAN
dir and is fairly low-level) but that does not create changes and source diffs.
then dried dpkg-buildpackage (uses debian dir and is higher level) but misses
the config and templates. ended up using dpkg-buildpackage with some manual
(scripted) file manipulation.
what to test when creating debian and redhat packages:
install, upgrade, remove, purge
install, modify files, remove
install, modify files, upgrade
to do debian builds you must first install:
python-imaging
python-configobj
debhelper
how to install/remove using various approaches:
source install:
setup.py install
setup.py install home=/opt/weewx-x.y.z
debian install/remove:
dpkg -i weewx_x.y.z-r.deb # install
(apt-get install weewx) # finish install if dependencies failed
dpkg -r weewx # remove
dpkg -P weewx # purge
redhat install/remove:
yum install weewx-x.y.z-r.rpm [--nogpgcheck] # install with yum
yum remove weewx # remove with yum
rpm -i weewx-x.y.z-r.rpm # install with rpm directly
rpm -e weewx # remove with rpm
testing:
any linux:
- new install using setup.py to /home/weewx
setup.py install
- upgrade using setup.py to /home/weewx
setup.py install
modify /home/weewx/weewx.conf
setup.py install
- new install using setup.py to /opt/weewx
setup.py install home=/opt/weewx
- upgrade using setup.py to /opt/weewx
setup.py install home=/opt/weewx
modify /opt/weewx/weewx.conf
setup.py install home=/opt/weewx
on centos and suse:
- new install using rpm
rpm -i weewx_x.y.z.rpm
- upgrade using rpm
rpm -i weewx_r.s.t.rpm
rpm -U weewx_x.y.z.rpm
- upgrade using rpm with extensions installed
rpm -i weewx_r.s.t.rpm
wee_extension --install cmon
rpm -U weewx_x.y.z.rpm
debian:
- new install usinb dpkg
dpkg -i weewx_x.y.z.deb
- upgrade using dpkg take maintainer's version of weewx.conf
dpkg -i weewx_r.s.t.deb
modify /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
dpkg -i weewx_x.y.z.deb
- upgrade using dpkg use old version of weewx.conf
dpkg -i weewx_r.s.t.deb
modify /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
dpkg -i weewx_x.y.z.deb
- reconfigure using dpkg
dpkg-reconfigure weewx
all platforms:
- installation and removal of extensions
wee_extension --install cmon
wee_extension --install pmon
wee_extension --remove cmon
- reconfigure using wee_config
wee_config --reconfigure
wee_config --reconfigure --driver=weewx.drivers.vantage
- list drivers
wee_config --list-drivers
