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 * * * ###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 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${VERSION} popd pushd ./gitian-builder ###fetch and build inputs: (first time, or when dependency versions change) mkdir -p inputs; cd inputs/ Register and download the Apple SDK: (see OSX Readme for details) https://developer.apple.com/downloads/download.action?path=Developer_Tools/xcode_4.6.3/xcode4630916281a.dmg Using a Mac, create a tarball for the 10.7 SDK and copy it to the inputs directory: tar -C /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/ -czf MacOSX10.7.sdk.tar.gz MacOSX10.7.sdk Build Bitcoin Core for Linux, Windows, and OS X: ./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${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 ${VERSION}-win --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml mv build/out/bitcoin-*.zip build/out/bitcoin-*.exe ../ ./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx.yml ./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-osx-unsigned --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx.yml mv build/out/bitcoin-*-unsigned.tar.gz inputs mv build/out/bitcoin-*.tar.gz build/out/bitcoin-*.dmg ../ popd bitcoin-0.9.99-osx-unsigned.tar.gz Build output expected: 1. source tarball (bitcoin-${VERSION}.tar.gz) 2. linux 32-bit and 64-bit binaries dist tarballs (bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux[32|64].tar.gz) 3. windows 32-bit and 64-bit installers and dist zips (bitcoin-${VERSION}-win[32|64]-setup.exe, bitcoin-${VERSION}-win[32|64].zip) 4. OSX unsigned installer (bitcoin-${VERSION}-osx-unsigned.dmg) 5. Gitian signatures (in gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-/(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 OSX detached signature: Once the OSX build has 3 matching signatures, Gavin 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 OSX binary: pushd ./gitian-builder # Fetch the signature as instructed by Gavin cp signature.tar.gz inputs/ ./bin/gbuild -i ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx-signer.yml ./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-osx-signed --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx-signer.yml mv build/out/bitcoin-${VERSION}-osx.dmg ../ popd Commit your signature for the signed OSX 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 Gavin 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) - Upload zips and installers, as well as `SHA256SUMS.asc` from last step, to the bitcoin.org server - Update bitcoin.org version - Make a pull request to add a file named `YYYY-MM-DD-vX.Y.Z.md` with the release notes to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org/tree/master/_releases ([Example for 0.9.2.1](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org/master/_releases/2014-06-19-v0.9.2.1.md)). - After the pull request is merged, the website will automatically show the newest version, as well as update the OS download links. Ping Saivann 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
