This repository contains scripts used to achieve the dCache release process.

The scripts

  • prepare-template -- build a template file, used when updating release notes
  • apply-template -- apply edited template file to release-notes
  • deploy-release-notes -- build HTML (no longer necessary)
  • tag-releases -- tag releases
  • update-releases -- update the releases.xml file
  • binary-releases -- use build machines to create packages

Normal bug-fix releases

Procedure:

  1. change directory to dCache repo,
  2. run tag-releases with a list of affected major versions (triggers package building by CI, wait for success),
  3. run prepare-template with a list of affected major versions, redirecting output as template file,
  4. change to release-notes repo,
  5. edit template file,
  6. run apply-template,
  7. wait for packages to finish building,
  8. run update-releases with a list of affected release versions (new tags),
  9. check changes (e.g., git diff), commit and push changes to repo.

Binary-only releases

A binary-only release is when packages are made available without the source-code being in github. This is used when a vulnerability is discovered, to provide an embargo period. During the embargo period, sites may upgrade without details of the vulnerability being disclosed.

Procedure:

  1. change directory to dCache repo,
  2. apply patch(es) in support branch(es),
  3. run tag-releases --no-push (no packages are built),
  4. run binary-releases to build packages,
  5. copy packages into package repo,
  6. update release notes (manually),
  7. run update-releases,
  8. check changes, commit and push changes to repo,
  9. wait for embargo period to finish,
  10. copy packages from package repo,
  11. push changes into github (triggers package building in CI),
  12. copy packages from 10. back into package repo.
