Release Process
====================
###update (commit) version in sources
contrib/verifysfbinaries/verify.sh
doc/README*
share/setup.nsi
src/clientversion.h (change CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE to true)
###tag version in git
git tag -s v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
###write release notes. git shortlog helps a lot, for example:
git shortlog --no-merges v(current version, e.g. 0.7.2)..v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
* * *
###update Gitian
In order to take advantage of the new caching features in Gitian, be sure to update to a recent version (e9741525c or higher is recommended)
###perform Gitian builds
From a directory containing the litecoin source, gitian-builder and gitian.sigs.ltc
export SIGNER=(your Gitian key, ie wtogami, coblee, etc)
export VERSION=(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
pushd ./litecoin
git checkout v${VERSION}
popd
pushd ./gitian-builder
###fetch and build inputs: (first time, or when dependency versions change)
mkdir -p inputs
Register and download the Apple SDK: (see OS X Readme for details)
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/download.action?path=Developer_Tools/xcode_6.1.1/xcode_6.1.1.dmg
Using a Mac, create a tarball for the 10.9 SDK and copy it to the inputs directory:
tar -C /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/ -czf MacOSX10.9.sdk.tar.gz MacOSX10.9.sdk
###Optional: Seed the Gitian sources cache
By default, Gitian will fetch source files as needed. For offline builds, they can be fetched ahead of time:
make -C ../litecoin/depends download SOURCES_PATH=`pwd`/cache/common
Only missing files will be fetched, so this is safe to re-run for each build.
###Build Litecoin Core for Linux, Windows, and OS X:
./bin/gbuild --commit litecoin=v${VERSION} ../litecoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-linux --destination ../gitian.sigs.ltc/ ../litecoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml
mv build/out/litecoin-*.tar.gz build/out/src/litecoin-*.tar.gz ../
./bin/gbuild --commit litecoin=v${VERSION} ../litecoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-win --destination ../gitian.sigs.ltc/ ../litecoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml
mv build/out/litecoin-*.zip build/out/litecoin-*.exe ../
./bin/gbuild --commit litecoin=v${VERSION} ../litecoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-osx-unsigned --destination ../gitian.sigs.ltc/ ../litecoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx.yml
mv build/out/litecoin-*-unsigned.tar.gz inputs/litecoin-osx-unsigned.tar.gz
mv build/out/litecoin-*.tar.gz build/out/litecoin-*.dmg ../
popd
Build output expected:
1. source tarball (litecoin-${VERSION}.tar.gz)
2. linux 32-bit and 64-bit binaries dist tarballs (litecoin-${VERSION}-linux[32|64].tar.gz)
3. windows 32-bit and 64-bit installers and dist zips (litecoin-${VERSION}-win[32|64]-setup.exe, litecoin-${VERSION}-win[32|64].zip)
4. OS X unsigned installer (litecoin-${VERSION}-osx-unsigned.dmg)
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 ${VERSION}-win/${SIGNER}
git add ${VERSION}-osx-unsigned/${SIGNER}
git commit -a
git push # Assuming you can push to the gitian.sigs tree
popd
Wait for OS X detached signature:
Once the OS X build has 3 matching signatures, Warren/Coblee will sign it with the apple App-Store key.
He will then upload a detached signature to be combined with the unsigned app to create a signed binary.
Create the signed OS X binary:
pushd ./gitian-builder
# Fetch the signature as instructed by Warren/Coblee
cp signature.tar.gz inputs/
./bin/gbuild -i ../litecoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx-signer.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-osx-signed --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../litecoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx-signer.yml
mv build/out/litecoin-osx-signed.dmg ../litecoin-${VERSION}-osx.dmg
popd
Commit your signature for the signed OS X binary:
pushd gitian.sigs
git add ${VERSION}-osx-signed/${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:
- Perform code-signing.
- Code-sign Windows -setup.exe (in a Windows virtual machine using signtool)
Note: only Warren/Coblee has the code-signing keys currently.
- 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)
- Update litecoin.org version
- Announce the release:
- Release sticky on litecointalk: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0
- litecoin-development mailing list
- Update title of #litecoin on Freenode IRC
- Optionally reddit /r/litecoin, ... but this will usually sort out itself
- Add release notes for the new version to the directory `doc/release-notes` in git master
- Celebrate
