Release Process

Migration in progress, instructions here partially outdated!

This page describes the release process for artifacts in this repository. The term release here refers to

• Testing content and when passed tag the repository
• Release docker containers for all artifacts

All docker artifacts are listed at: https://github.com/orgs/eclipse/packages?repo_name=kuksa.val.feeders

Release Preparations

• Make sure that wanted versions of KUKSA.val components have been released (Databroker, kuksa-client pypi package and so on). See KUKSA.val release process

A suggested approach when it is time to release a kuksa.val.feeder component is to:

• Make sure that a stable new kuksa-clientexists in pypi.
• Adapt all requirements.in, requirements.txt (search for requirements* files) so they use the official version, for example kuksa-client ~= 0.4.0 to assure that only 0.4 version can be used. Alternativetely we can keep > 0.3 if we like to allow also even newer kuksa-clients, like 0.5, but then we should anyway regenerate requirements.txt (with pip-compile -U requirements.in instead of pip-compile --pre requirements.in) to include an official version.
• Review all .in/.txt-files; check if there is a need to do any update in dependencies. In the future check for known vulnerabilities
• Remove all --pre statements from e.g. Dockerfileand *.yml (search for --pre in all files) to make sure that not we by mistake get pre-releases.

Preferred kuksa-client dependency criteria is:

• >=X.YaN during development if we cannot use last released version, remeber to add --pre where needed
• ~=X.Y for releases and master/main, to make sure we use a compatible version. Upgrading shall always be a deliberate action

This means - for a release we first change to a fix version, test, tag and release. Then we may change to a >=dependency.

File	What to do
*.txt, *.in	Search for kuksa-client and update version
*.in	Regenerate *.txt with pip-compile --pre requirements.in or pip-compile requirements.in
Dockerfile	Search for pip install and pip3 install and add/remove --pre as needed for installation of requirements.txt

find . -name "*.txt" -exec egrep -ni kuksa {} /dev/null \;
find . -name "*.in" -exec egrep -ni kuksa {} /dev/null \;
find . -name "Dockerfile" -exec egrep -ni pip {} /dev/null \;

Create Docker releases

Trigger manually for all packages we have at https://github.com/orgs/eclipse/packages?repo_name=kuksa.val.feeders by selecting the corresponding action in https://github.com/eclipse/kuksa.val.feeders/actions and trigger for the used tag.

currently:

Note: For SOMEIP no reason to build binaries, does not affect docker build!

Create Github release

For now we keep it simple and try to reuse kuksa.val format

• Use the form KUKSA.val.feeders 0.4.0 Release
• Tick the "Set as a pre-release" box
• Select Previous release tag and generate release note
• Add a "What is new" section, make a summary based on git history
