Release Process
====================
* update translations (ping wumpus, Diapolo or tcatm on IRC)
* see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/translation_process.md#syncing-with-transifex
### Define the release version as:
* * *
$ ZCASH_RELEASE=${UPSTREAM_VERSION}.z${ZCASH_RELEASE_COUNTER}
###update (commit) version in sources
Example:
contrib/verifysfbinaries/verify.sh
doc/README*
share/setup.nsi
src/clientversion.h (change CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE to true)
$ ZCASH_RELEASE=0.11.2.z2
###tag version in git
Also, the following commands use the ZCASH_RELEASE_PREV bash variable
for the previous release:
git tag -s v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
$ ZCASH_RELEASE_PREV=0.11.2.z1
###write release notes. git shortlog helps a lot, for example:
### update (commit) version in sources
git shortlog --no-merges v(current version, e.g. 0.7.2)..v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
doc/README.md
src/clientversion.h
* * *
In clientverion.h change CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE to false while Zcash
is in alpha-test phase.
###update Gitian
### write release notes
In order to take advantage of the new caching features in Gitian, be sure to update to a recent version (`e9741525c` or later is recommended)
git shortlog helps a lot, for example:
###perform Gitian builds
$ git shortlog --no-merges v${ZCASH_RELEASE_PREV}..HEAD \
> ./doc/release-notes/release-notes-${ZCASH_RELEASE}.md
From a directory containing the bitcoin source, gitian-builder and gitian.sigs
export SIGNER=(your Gitian key, ie bluematt, sipa, etc)
export VERSION=(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
pushd ./bitcoin
git checkout v${VERSION}
popd
pushd ./gitian-builder
### merge the previous changes
###fetch and build inputs: (first time, or when dependency versions change)
Do the normal pull-request, review, testing process.
mkdir -p inputs
wget -P inputs https://bitcoincore.org/cfields/osslsigncode-Backports-to-1.7.1.patch
wget -P inputs http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/osslsigncode/osslsigncode/osslsigncode-1.7.1.tar.gz
### make tags / release-branch for the newly merged result
Register and download the Apple SDK: (see OS X Readme for details)
In this example, we ensure zc.v0.11.2.latest is up to date with the
previous merged PR, then:
https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/Developer_Tools/xcode_6.1.1/xcode_6.1.1.dmg
$ git tag v${ZCASH_RELEASE}
$ git branch zc.v${ZCASH_RELEASE}
$ git push origin v${ZCASH_RELEASE}
$ git push origin zc.v${ZCASH_RELEASE}
Using a Mac, create a tarball for the 10.9 SDK and copy it to the inputs directory:
### update github default branch to this new release branch
tar -C /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/ -czf MacOSX10.9.sdk.tar.gz MacOSX10.9.sdk
### write / publish a release announcement
###Optional: Seed the Gitian sources cache
### celebrate
By default, Gitian will fetch source files as needed. For offline builds, they can be fetched ahead of time:
### missing steps
make -C ../bitcoin/depends download SOURCES_PATH=`pwd`/cache/common
Zcash still needs:
Only missing files will be fetched, so this is safe to re-run for each build.
###Build Bitcoin Core for Linux, Windows, and OS X:
./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-linux --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml
mv build/out/bitcoin-*.tar.gz build/out/src/bitcoin-*.tar.gz ../
./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-win-unsigned --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml
mv build/out/bitcoin-*-win-unsigned.tar.gz inputs/bitcoin-win-unsigned.tar.gz
mv build/out/bitcoin-*.zip build/out/bitcoin-*.exe ../
./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-osx-unsigned --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx.yml
mv build/out/bitcoin-*-osx-unsigned.tar.gz inputs/bitcoin-osx-unsigned.tar.gz
mv build/out/bitcoin-*.tar.gz build/out/bitcoin-*.dmg ../
popd
Build output expected:
1. source tarball (bitcoin-${VERSION}.tar.gz)
2. linux 32-bit and 64-bit dist tarballs (bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux[32|64].tar.gz)
3. windows 32-bit and 64-bit unsigned installers and dist zips (bitcoin-${VERSION}-win[32|64]-setup-unsigned.exe, bitcoin-${VERSION}-win[32|64].zip)
4. OS X unsigned installer and dist tarball (bitcoin-${VERSION}-osx-unsigned.dmg, bitcoin-${VERSION}-osx64.tar.gz)
5. Gitian signatures (in gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-<linux|{win,osx}-unsigned>/(your Gitian key)/
###Next steps:
Commit your signature to gitian.sigs:
pushd gitian.sigs
git add ${VERSION}-linux/${SIGNER}
git add ${VERSION}-win-unsigned/${SIGNER}
git add ${VERSION}-osx-unsigned/${SIGNER}
git commit -a
git push # Assuming you can push to the gitian.sigs tree
popd
Wait for Windows/OS X detached signatures:
Once the Windows/OS X builds each have 3 matching signatures, they will be signed with their respective release keys.
Detached signatures will then be committed to the bitcoin-detached-sigs repository, which can be combined with the unsigned apps to create signed binaries.
Create the signed OS X binary:
pushd ./gitian-builder
./bin/gbuild -i --commit signature=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx-signer.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-osx-signed --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx-signer.yml
mv build/out/bitcoin-osx-signed.dmg ../bitcoin-${VERSION}-osx.dmg
popd
Create the signed Windows binaries:
pushd ./gitian-builder
./bin/gbuild -i --commit signature=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win-signer.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-win-signed --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win-signer.yml
mv build/out/bitcoin-*win64-setup.exe ../bitcoin-${VERSION}-win64-setup.exe
mv build/out/bitcoin-*win32-setup.exe ../bitcoin-${VERSION}-win32-setup.exe
popd
Commit your signature for the signed OS X/Windows binaries:
pushd gitian.sigs
git add ${VERSION}-osx-signed/${SIGNER}
git add ${VERSION}-win-signed/${SIGNER}
git commit -a
git push # Assuming you can push to the gitian.sigs tree
popd
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
### After 3 or more people have gitian-built and their results match:
- Create `SHA256SUMS.asc` for the builds, and GPG-sign it:
```bash
sha256sum * > SHA256SUMS
gpg --digest-algo sha256 --clearsign SHA256SUMS # outputs SHA256SUMS.asc
rm SHA256SUMS
```
(the digest algorithm is forced to sha256 to avoid confusion of the `Hash:` header that GPG adds with the SHA256 used for the files)
Note: check that SHA256SUMS itself doesn't end up in SHA256SUMS, which is a spurious/nonsensical entry.
- Upload zips and installers, as well as `SHA256SUMS.asc` from last step, to the bitcoin.org server
into `/var/www/bin/bitcoin-core-${VERSION}`
- Update bitcoin.org version
- First, check to see if the Bitcoin.org maintainers have prepared a
release: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org/labels/Releases
- If they have, it will have previously failed their Travis CI
checks because the final release files weren't uploaded.
Trigger a Travis CI rebuild---if it passes, merge.
- If they have not prepared a release, follow the Bitcoin.org release
instructions: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org#release-notes
- After the pull request is merged, the website will automatically show the newest version within 15 minutes, as well
as update the OS download links. Ping @saivann/@harding (saivann/harding on Freenode) in case anything goes wrong
- Announce the release:
- Release sticky on bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0
- Bitcoin-development mailing list
- Update title of #bitcoin on Freenode IRC
- Optionally reddit /r/Bitcoin, ... but this will usually sort out itself
- Notify BlueMatt so that he can start building [https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoin](the PPAs)
- Add release notes for the new version to the directory `doc/release-notes` in git master
- Celebrate
a. deterministic build
b. signatured tags
c. thorough pre-release testing (presumably more thorough than standard PR tests)
d. release deployment steps (eg: updating build-depends mirror, deploying testnet, etc...)
e. proper zcash-specific versions and names in software and documentation.
