Here we try to keep an up to date record of how Mopidy releases are made. This documentation serves both as a checklist, to reduce the project’s dependency on key individuals, and as a stepping stone to more automation.
Update changelog and commit it.
Bump the version number in mopidy/__init__.py. Remember to update the test case in tests/test_version.py.
Merge the release branch (develop in the example) into master:
git checkout master
git merge --no-ff -m "Release v0.16.0" develop
Install/upgrade tools used for packaging:
pip install -U twine wheel
Build package and test it manually in a new virtualenv. The following assumes the use of virtualenvwrapper:
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
mktmpenv
pip install path/to/dist/Mopidy-0.16.0.tar.gz
toggleglobalsitepackages
# do manual test
deactivate
mktmpenv
pip install path/to/dist/Mopidy-0.16.0-py27-none-any.whl
toggleglobalsitepackages
# do manual test
deactivate
Tag the release:
git tag -a -m "Release v0.16.0" v0.16.0
Push to GitHub:
git push
git push --tags
Upload the previously built and tested sdist and bdist_wheel packages to PyPI:
twine upload dist/Mopidy-0.16.0*
Merge master back into develop and push the branch to GitHub.
Make sure the new tag is built by Read the Docs, and that the latest version shows the newly released version.
Spread the word through the topic on #mopidy on IRC, @mopidy on Twitter, and on the mailing list.
Update the Debian package.
This howto is not intended to learn you all the details, just to give someone already familiar with Debian packaging an overview of how Mopidy’s Debian packages is maintained.
Install the basic packaging tools:
sudo apt-get install build-essential git-buildpackage
Create a Wheezy pbuilder env if running on Ubuntu and this the first time. See #561 for details about why this is needed:
DIST=wheezy sudo git-pbuilder update --mirror=http://mirror.rackspace.com/debian/ --debootstrapopts --keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg
Check out the debian branch of the repo:
git checkout -t origin/debian
git pull
Merge the latest release tag into the debian branch:
git merge v0.16.0
Update the debian/changelog with a “New upstream release” entry:
dch -v 0.16.0-0mopidy1
git add debian/changelog
git commit -m "debian: New upstream release"
Check if any dependencies in debian/control or similar needs updating.
Install any Build-Deps listed in debian/control.
Build the package and fix any issues repeatedly until the build succeeds and the Lintian check at the end of the build is satisfactory:
git buildpackage -uc -us
If you are using the pbuilder make sure this command is:
sudo git buildpackage -uc -us --git-ignore-new --git-pbuilder --git-dist=wheezy --git-no-pbuilder-autoconf
Install and test newly built package:
sudo debi
Again for pbuilder use:
sudo debi --debs-dir /var/cache/pbuilder/result/
If everything is OK, build the package a final time to tag the package version:
git buildpackage -uc -us --git-tag
Pbuilder:
sudo git buildpackage -uc -us --git-ignore-new --git-pbuilder --git-dist=wheezy --git-no-pbuilder-autoconf --git-tag
Push the changes you’ve done to the debian branch and the new tag:
git push
git push --tags
If you’re building for multiple architectures, checkout the debian branch on the other builders and run:
git buildpackage -uc -us
Modify as above to use the pbuilder as needed.
Copy files to the APT server. Make sure to select the correct part of the repo, e.g. main, contrib, or non-free:
scp ../mopidy*_0.16* bonobo.mopidy.com:/srv/apt.mopidy.com/app/incoming/stable/main
Update the APT repo:
ssh bonobo.mopidy.com
/srv/apt.mopidy.com/app/update.sh
Test installation from apt.mopidy.com:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
