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)

##perform gitian builds

From a directory containing the dogecoin 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 ./dogecoin
git checkout v${VERSION}
popd
pushd ./gitian-builder

Build dogecoind and dogecoin-qt on Linux32, Linux64, and Win32:

./bin/gbuild --commit dogecoin=v${VERSION} ../dogecoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION} --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../dogecoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml
pushd build/out
zip -r dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip *
mv dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip ../../../
popd
./bin/gbuild --commit dogecoin=v${VERSION} ../dogecoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-win --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../dogecoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml
pushd build/out
zip -r dogecoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip *
mv dogecoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip ../../../
popd
popd

Build output expected:

linux 32-bit and 64-bit binaries + source (dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip)
windows 32-bit and 64-bit binaries + installer + source (dogecoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip)
Gitian signatures (in gitian.sigs/${VERSION}[-win]/(your gitian key)/

repackage gitian builds for release as stand-alone zip/tar/installer exe

Linux .tar.gz:

unzip dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip -d dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux
tar czvf dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux.tar.gz dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux
rm -rf dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux

Windows .zip and setup.exe:

unzip dogecoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip -d dogecoin-${VERSION}-win
mv dogecoin-${VERSION}-win/dogecoin-*-setup.exe .
zip -r dogecoin-${VERSION}-win.zip dogecoin-${VERSION}-win
rm -rf dogecoin-${VERSION}-win

Perform Mac build:

OSX binaries are created by Gavin Andresen on a 64-bit, OSX 10.6 machine.

./autogen.sh
    SDK=$(xcode-select --print-path)/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk
    CXXFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.6 -isysroot $SDK" ./configure --enable-upnp-default
make
export QTDIR=/opt/local/share/qt4  # needed to find translations/qt_*.qm files
T=$(contrib/qt_translations.py $QTDIR/translations src/qt/locale)
    export CODESIGNARGS='--keychain ...path_to_keychain --sign "Developer ID Application: DOGECOIN FOUNDATION, INC., THE"'
python2.7 contrib/macdeploy/macdeployqtplus Dogecoin-Qt.app -sign -add-qt-tr $T -dmg -fancy contrib/macdeploy/fancy.plist

Build output expected: Dogecoin-Qt.dmg

###Next steps:

Code-sign Windows -setup.exe (in a Windows virtual machine using signtool) Note: only Gavin has the code-signing keys currently.
upload builds to SourceForge
create SHA256SUMS for builds, and PGP-sign it
update dogecoin.com version make sure all OS download links go to the right versions
update forum version
update wiki download links
update wiki changelog: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Changelog

Commit your signature to gitian.sigs:

pushd gitian.sigs
git add ${VERSION}-linux/${SIGNER}
git add ${VERSION}-win/${SIGNER}
git add ${VERSION}-osx/${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:

From a directory containing dogecoin source, gitian.sigs and gitian zips

export VERSION=(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
mkdir dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian
pushd dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian
unzip ../dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip
mkdir gitian
cp ../dogecoin/contrib/gitian-downloader/*.pgp ./gitian/
for signer in $(ls ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}/); do
 cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}/${signer}/dogecoin-build.assert ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert
 cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}/${signer}/dogecoin-build.assert.sig ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert.sig
done
zip -r dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip *
cp dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip ../
popd
mkdir dogecoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian
pushd dogecoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian
unzip ../dogecoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip
mkdir gitian
cp ../dogecoin/contrib/gitian-downloader/*.pgp ./gitian/
for signer in $(ls ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-win/); do
 cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-win/${signer}/dogecoin-build.assert ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert
 cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-win/${signer}/dogecoin-build.assert.sig ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert.sig
done
zip -r dogecoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip *
cp dogecoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip ../
popd

- Code-sign MacOSX .dmg

Note: only Gavin has the code-signing keys currently.

Create SHA256SUMS.asc for builds, and PGP-sign it. This is done manually. Include all the files to be uploaded. The file has sha256sum format with a simple header at the top:

Hash: SHA256
