DMD Release Building
Requirements
- a linux (maybe osx) host
- virtualbox
- vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com/)
- a Windows 7 license
- an OSX (currently 10.8) license
- a gpg key that is part of our keyring (http://dlang.org/gpg_keys.html)
- an S3 account for http://downloads.dlang.org
- an ssh account for http://ftp.digitalmars.com
- aws client tool
Setup boxes
- See the build script for how to setup the vagrant boxes.
Build steps
- Make sure dmd/VERSION contains the to be build version
cd dmd
git checkout stable
echo 2.072.1 > VERSION
git add VERSION
git commit -m 'update VERSION file'
git push upstream stable
- Combining the changelog
- copy the changelog.dd parts from the dmd/druntime/phobos stable repos to a new dlang.org/changelog/2.068.1.dd
- use tools/changed to get the bugzilla changelog list
- Use dlang.org/changelog/update_nav.sh to update prev/next navigation in changelogs
- Update dlang.org/win32.mak
- Test building the stable branch
- cd installer/create_dmd_release
- rdmd build_all v2.070.2 stable
- possibly fix build script, repos, or update patches
- Tag a new version
Push the tags to your private forks (origin) first to test whether the release builds cleanly. Tags on upstream must not be changed ever. To build from your private forks you need to change the base url in cloneSources.
for proj in dmd druntime phobos tools dlang.org installer; do
pushd $proj
git fetch upstream
git tag -sm 'v2.071.2-b4' v2.071.2-b4 upstream/stable
git push origin v2.071.2-b4
popd
done
- Build binaries
- cd installer/create_dmd_release
- rm -rf build
- rdmd build_all v2.070.2 v2.071.2-b4
- Sign binaries
for file in build/*; do
gpg2 -b $file
done
- Perform additional tests
- Upload binaries
rsync --progress -av --chmod=ug=rw build/ martin@digitalmars.com:/var/pub/digitalmars.com/
- Upload to releases or pre-releases
aws --profile ddo s3 sync build/ s3://downloads.dlang.org/pre-releases/$(date '+%Y')/ --acl public-read --cache-control max-age=604800
aws --profile ddo s3 sync build/ s3://downloads.dlang.org/releases/$(date '+%Y')/ --acl public-read --cache-control max-age=604800
- Make sure to check for errors during upload and probably repeat
- If everything went right until here, push the tags to upstream
for proj in dmd druntime phobos tools dlang.org installer; do
git -C $proj push upstream v2.068.1-b1
done
- Update LATEST_BETA or LATEST
- aws --profile ddo s3 cp LATEST_BETA s3://downloads.dlang.org/pre-releases/LATEST --acl public-read
- aws --profile ddo s3 cp LATEST s3://downloads.dlang.org/releases/LATEST --acl public-read
- Update downloads.dlang.org
- cd downloads.dlang.org (https://github.com/braddr/downloads.dlang.org)
- ls create_dmd_release/build >> make-links
- edit 'make-links' and add symlinks for all the new files
- run
./make-links
- build
make -C src
- and run
./src/build-gen-index s3_index generate
to regenerate the download pages to ./ddo aws --profile ddo s3 sync ./ddo/ s3://downloads.dlang.org/ --acl public-read --cache-control max-age=604800
- commit and push changes to downloads.dlang.org
- Update LATEST_BETA or LATEST on ftp server (for compatibility with older scripts)
- ssh martin@digitalmars.com 'echo -n 2.071.2-b4 > /var/pub/digitalmars.com/LATEST_BETA'
- ssh martin@digitalmars.com 'echo -n 2.071.2 > /var/pub/digitalmars.com/LATEST'
- Merge stable branches into master
cd dmd # repeat for every repo
git fetch upstream
git checkout -b merge_stable upstream/master
git merge upstream/stable
# fix any conflicts
git hub pull new -b master
- Rebuild and sync dlang.org
- Use a tool like Check-My-Links to check the download pages
- Write an announcement to digitalmars.D.announce and/or dmd-beta.
- Update the version in D's Wikipedia article
- Publish announcements to Twitter, Reddit, HackerNews, Slashdot (make noise!)
- Update DMD version in this D wiki
Draft for DUB release building
DUB_VERSION=v1.1.1
cd dub
git checkout stable
# (... edit change log with the final release date ...)
echo "module dub.version_;" > source/dub/version_.d
echo "enum dubVersion = \"$DUB_VERSION\";" >> source/dub/version_.d
git add CHANGELOG.md source/dub/version_.d
git commit -m "Update change log and version file."
# should be a proper tag with message, possibly signed
git tag $DUB_VERSION --sign --message="$DUB_VERSION"
./build.sh
# if everything went right:
git push upstream $DUB_VERSION
# (... copy binary to release archive ...)
Note: downloads on code.dlang.org are automatically built once the new version tag gets pushed.
