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 ${VERSION}-osx --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx.yml
mv build/out/bitcoin-*.tar.gz build/out/bitcoin-*.dmg ../
popd
Build output expected:
1. source tarball (bitcoin-${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-${VERSION}-win[32|64].zip)
4. OSX installer (bitcoin-${VERSION}-osx.dmg)
5. Gitian signatures (in gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-<linux|win|osx>/(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 ${VERSION}-osx/${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)
- Code-sign MacOSX .dmg
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
