Release process

When we release Navit, here are the steps we have to follow for now (April 2018):

• Update NAVIT_VERSION_MAJOR, NAVIT_VERSION_MINOR and NAVIT_VERSION_PATCH in CMakeLists.txt

• Update Sailfish spec in contrib/sailfish/navit-sailfish.spec - Version: Update to new Version number - Release: Reset to 1 when Version is updated - Changelog

• update the contributors list using: scripts/generate_contributors.sh

• generate changelog using git cliff --unreleased --prepend CHANGELOG.md Then edit the CHANGELOG.md and clean it up.

• cut tag (verify that master is up-to-date with trunk)

• Wait that circleci finishes to build all the jobs for the master branch (not trunk)

• attach artifacts from the master branch build from circleCI to the tag (don’t forget the .cab and the .exe for wince)

• Generate the release based on the tag

• download the tarball and generate the release signature using gpg --armor --detach-sign then attach the .asc file as an artifact

• Grab the Versioncode from the build_android and update https://github.com/navit-gps/download-center/edit/master/_data/version.yml (Search for “Version Code” within the Build Log on Circleci)

• On Sourceforge:

  • wait about 30min that the files appear at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/navit/files/

  • If that’s not the case you might have to reset the integration: https://sourceforge.net/p/navit/admin/files/gh_integration

  • On the folder of the latest release, click on the little information symbol at the end of the line for the apk file and set it as default for android, set the win32 one as default for windows and the tarball as default for all the rest, this will make the latest download link on sourceforge point to the right file

  • update sourceforge news by adding a new post: https://sourceforge.net/p/navit/news/

• On Launchpad:

  • update: https://launchpad.net/navit/+announcements

  • verify that https://code.launchpad.net/navit is up-to-date
