-Releasing software
--------------------
-
-When releasing a new version, the following steps should be taken:
-
-1. Make sure all automated tests pass.
-
-2. Make sure the package metadata in ``setup.py`` is up-to-date. You can
- verify the information by re-generating the egg info::
-
- python setup.py egg_info
-
- and inspecting ``src/pysaml2.egg-info/PKG-INFO``. You should also make sure
- that the long description renders as valid reStructuredText. You can
- do this by using the ``rst2html.py`` utility from docutils_::
-
- python setup.py --long-description | rst2html > test.html
-
- If this will produce warning or errors, PyPI will be unable to render
- the long description nicely. It will treat it as plain text instead.
-
-3. Update the version in the VERSION_ file and report the changes in
- CHANGELOG.md_ and commit the changes.::
-
- git add CHANGELOG.md
- git add VERSION
- git commit -v -s -m "Release version X.Y.Z"
-
-4. Create a release branch_::
-
- git branch vX.Y.Z
-
-5. Create a release tag_::
-
- git tag -a -s vX.Y.Z -m "Version X.Y.Z"
-
-6. Push these changes to Github::
-
- git push --follow-tags origin vX.Y.Z
- git push --follow-tags origin vX.Y.Z:vX.Y.Z
-
-7. Create a source and wheel distribution and upload it to PyPI::
-
- # generate a source and wheel distribution at once
- python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
-
- # generated files are under dist/
- ls dist/
-
- # upload release on test.pypi.org
- twine upload --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/pysaml2-X.Y.Z*
-
- # then, upload release on official pypi.org
- twine upload dist/pysaml2-X.Y.Z*
-
-8. Upload the documentation to PyPI. First you need to generate the html
- version of the documentation::
-
- cd docs/
- make clean
- make html
- cd _build/html
- zip -r pysaml2-docs.zip *
-
- Submit the generated pysaml2-docs.zip file.
-
-9. Send an email to the pysaml2 list announcing this release
-
-
-**Important:** Once released to PyPI or any other public download location,
-a released egg may *never* be removed, even if it has proven to be a faulty
-release ("brown bag release"). In such a case it should simply be superseded
-immediately by a new, improved release.
