Osmocom release process update

Hi. Just a heads-up on recent changes related to Osmocom releases. In short: read about it at https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Make_a_new_release Somewhat longer explanation: In attempt to simplify and structure release process (see https://projects.osmocom.org/issues/1861 ) I've added helper script (osmo-release.mk, installed by recent libosmocore-dev) which attempts to automate as much as possible: * treat library and non-library projects differently * autogenerate debian/changelog * automatically bump version * cleanup TODO-RELEASE * checks for missing *_LIBVERSION update * automatically commit, sign and tag the result Of course it might fail to do the right thing for multitude of reasons (incorrectly filled TODO-RELEASE, missing tags, missing git-version-gen helper, weird versions in debian/changelog etc) so nothing is pushed automatically. You're expected to inspect the release commit and push it manually (don't forget to push the tag too!). In general, it works: made libosmo-abis 0.4.0 and osmo-bts 0.6.0 releases using it. The patches to make it available to other *osmo* projects are under review. Now, if you've read that far, you must be really interested in making release for some Osmocom project (or just really bored :) Either way, please do any of the following: * read the wiki page linked above and see if anything unclear/poorly written/needs corrections * suggest further updates to release policy described in there * review corresponding patches in gerrit * suggest further automation step (ideally, as a patch to osmo-release.mk ;) * try "make release" for one of the projects not mentioned above (if you have sufficient rights to push tags to gerrit) * have a look at recent libosmo-abis (>=0.4.0) and osmo-bts (>=0.6.0) and see if anything is broken N. B: release helper expects version to follow http://semver.org/ - this has been raised in ML and no objections followed. Please adhere to it for all future versions. -- Max Suraev <msuraev(a)sysmocom.de> http://www.sysmocom.de/ ======================================================================= * sysmocom - systems for mobile communications GmbH * Alt-Moabit 93 * 10559 Berlin, Germany * Sitz / Registered office: Berlin, HRB 134158 B * Geschaeftsfuehrer / Managing Director: Harald Welte
