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 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
        mkdir -p inputs; cd inputs/

 Register and download the Apple SDK (see OSX Readme for details)
	visit 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
	tar -C /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/ -czf MacOSX10.7.sdk.tar.gz MacOSX10.7.sdk

 Build bitcoind and bitcoin-qt on Linux32, Linux64, and Win32:
  
	./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml
	./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION} --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml
	pushd build/out
	zip -r bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip *
	mv bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip ../../../
	popd
	./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml
	./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-win --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml
	pushd build/out
	zip -r bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip *
	mv bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip ../../../
	popd
        ./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx-bitcoin.yml
        ./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-osx --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx-bitcoin.yml
	pushd build/out
	mv Bitcoin-Qt.dmg ../../../
	popd
	popd

  Build output expected:

  1. linux 32-bit and 64-bit binaries + source (bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip)
  2. windows 32-bit and 64-bit binaries + installer + source (bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip)
  3. OSX installer (Bitcoin-Qt.dmg)
  4. Gitian signatures (in gitian.sigs/${VERSION}[-win|-osx]/(your gitian key)/

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

**Linux .tar.gz:**

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

**Windows .zip and setup.exe:**

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

###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 bitcoin.org version
  make sure all OS download links go to the right versions
  
* update download sizes on bitcoin.org/_templates/download.html

* update forum version

* update wiki download links

* update wiki changelog: [https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Changelog](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Changelog)

Commit your signature to gitian.sigs:

	pushd gitian.sigs
	git add ${VERSION}/${SIGNER}
	git add ${VERSION}-win/${SIGNER}
	git commit -a
	git push  # Assuming you can push to the gitian.sigs tree
	popd

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

### After 3 or more people have gitian-built, repackage gitian-signed zips:

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

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