Koha release tools

The release tools repository contains a collection of scripts to aid release mantainers and release managers in their tasks during their tenure in their respective roles.

Installation

Simply clone this repository on your development environment and copy the etc/user.example file to etc/user.yaml and update it to reflect your own details.

Scripts

The most commonly used scripts can be found within the bin/ directory, but they are generally written to be run from within your koha source clone repository.

bin/koha-push

Used to check for new authors and update bugzilla prior to pushing your branch.

The script should be run from within your koha source directory.

~/release-tools/bin/koha-push updatebz ~/release-tools/bin/koha-push updatebz --range HASH..HEAD ~/release-tools/bin/koha-push updatebz --range HASH..HEAD

Upon execution it will walk through all commits that appear in your local branch but do not yet appear upstream. It will prompt you for author details if an unrecognised author/email combination is found within a commit and will update the tracked etc/dev_map.yaml and etc/sponsor_map.yaml files respectively. You should check the resultant diff before commiting and pushing an update to the release-tools repository. The script will then mark the relevant bugs as 'Pushed to X', add the relevant version to the versions released box and add your configured thankyou comment to the bug.

bin/koha-release

Used to build the release notes and report release information.

The script should be called from within your koha source directory.

~/release-tools/bin/koha-release v19.11.00..HEAD info ~/release-tools/bin/koha-release v19.11.00..HEAD notes ~/release-tools/bin/koha-release v19.11.00..HEAD notes --silent ~/release-tools/bin/koha-release v19.11.00..HEAD html misc/release_notes/release_notes_19_11_01.html

Upon execution it will walk through all commits in your given range and generate a set of release notes from their content sourcing data from the commits, bugzilla and the translation site. It will interactively ask you about author details should it find a commit with an unrecognised author, unless the --silent parameter is passed.

• The notes command will output a markdown file.
• The html command will read in the aforementioned markdown file and general an html file.

roll_release.sh

Used to pack and sign a release tar

bin/get_developers.pl

This script will be deprecated soon. It is/was used to maintain the koha copy of docs/contributors.yaml and docs/history.txt.

Simply run the script from within your kohaclone and it will update the contributors.yaml file and produce a history_new.txt which you can use by comparison to update the history.txt.
