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${VERSION} popd pushd ./gitian-builder ###fetch and build inputs: (first time, or when dependency versions change) mkdir -p inputs Register and download the Apple SDK: (see OSX Readme for details) https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/Developer_Tools/xcode_6.1.1/xcode_6.1.1.dmg Using a Mac, create a tarball for the 10.9 SDK and copy it to the inputs directory: tar -C /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/ -czf MacOSX10.9.sdk.tar.gz MacOSX10.9.sdk ###Optional: Seed the Gitian sources cache By default, gitian will fetch source files as needed. For offline builds, they can be fetched ahead of time: make -C ../bitcoin/depends download SOURCES_PATH=`pwd`/cache/common Only missing files will be fetched, so this is safe to re-run for each build. ###Build Bitcoin Core for Linux, Windows, and OS X: ./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${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 ${VERSION}-osx-unsigned --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx.yml mv build/out/bitcoin-*-unsigned.tar.gz inputs/bitcoin-osx-unsigned.tar.gz mv build/out/bitcoin-*.tar.gz build/out/bitcoin-*.dmg ../ popd Build output expected: 1. source tarball (bitcoin-${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-${VERSION}-win[32|64].zip) 4. OSX unsigned installer (bitcoin-${VERSION}-osx-unsigned.dmg) 5. Gitian signatures (in gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-/(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 ${VERSION}-osx-unsigned/${SIGNER} git commit -a git push # Assuming you can push to the gitian.sigs tree popd Wait for OSX detached signature: Once the OSX build has 3 matching signatures, it will be signed with the Apple App-Store key. A detached signature will then be committed to the bitcoin-detached-sigs repository, which can be combined with the unsigned app to create a signed binary. Create the signed OSX binary: pushd ./gitian-builder ./bin/gbuild -i --commit signature=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx-signer.yml ./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-osx-signed --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx-signer.yml mv build/out/bitcoin-osx-signed.dmg ../bitcoin-${VERSION}-osx.dmg popd Commit your signature for the signed OSX binary: pushd gitian.sigs git add ${VERSION}-osx-signed/${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) 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) Note: check that SHA256SUMS itself doesn't end up in SHA256SUMS, which is a spurious/nonsensical entry. - Upload zips and installers, as well as `SHA256SUMS.asc` from last step, to the bitcoin.org server into `/var/www/bin/bitcoin-core-${VERSION}` - Update bitcoin.org version - First, check to see if the Bitcoin.org maintainers have prepared a release: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org/labels/Releases - If they have, it will have previously failed their Travis CI checks because the final release files weren't uploaded. Trigger a Travis CI rebuild---if it passes, merge. - If they have not prepared a release, follow the Bitcoin.org release instructions: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org#release-notes - After the pull request is merged, the website will automatically show the newest version within 15 minutes, as well as update the OS download links. Ping @saivann/@harding (saivann/harding on Freenode) 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
