How to do a release
- Update CMakeLists.txt with the new version number you are just about to tag
project(kphotoalbum LANGUAGES CXX VERSION 5.8.0)
- Update org.kde.kphotoalbum.appdata.xml with the new version
- Update the ChangeLog to mark the new release and add the key improvements to the list of changes, if they are not already mentioned in the ChangeLog
- Update doc/index.docbook to reflect the new release (if the documentation has been updated)
<releaseinfo>5.8.0</releaseinfo>
- Commit the last changes and push them
git commit -a git push
- Wait for the CI to pass
- Tag the new release and push it out
git tag -a -m "kpa 5.8.0 released" v5.8.0 git push --tags
- Create a tar ball of the released sources using releaseme (git clone https://invent.kde.org/sdk/releaseme.git):
git pull ./tarme.rb --origin trunk --version 5.8.0 kphotoalbum
- Upload the created tar ball to the incoming directory of upload.kde.org using an FTP client. The current instructions of notifying administrators of the upload are shown when logging in to the FTP server. You create a ticket and provide SHA sums and some other information of the upload.
- Add a new version to Bugzilla (bugs.kde.org, you have to have administrator rights to do this): Edit Products → KPhotoAlbum → Add version
- Wait for the tarball to hit the mirror servers before telling anybody ;-)
- Update the KPA web pages. The sources can be checked out via [email protected]:websites/kphotoalbum-org.git.
- Publish the release information (mailing lists, distributor's bugtracking system, social media etc.). Don't forget to post on the kde-distro-packagers mailing list, and make sure to mention any changes in dependencies!
- Create a video of the cool new features and publish it on Youtube. A nice tool for doing so is recordmydesktop. If you uploaded such a video, don't forget to add it to the Videos page on the homepage (cf. the README_new_video.txt file).
- Notify people building the binary packages for different distributions
