Major / Minor Release

Below are the steps needed to do a release. But rather than doing them by hand, you can run this script:

https://github.com/eclipse/che-plugin-registry/blob/master/make-release.sh

HOWEVER, because the master branch is protected from commits, the above script will not be able to commit an update to the VERSION file. Instead it must produce a PR.

remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed for refs/heads/master.
remote: error: At least 1 approving review is required by reviewers with write access.
To github.com:eclipse/che-plugin-registry
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (protected branch hook declined)
  • create a branch for the release e.g. 7.8.x
  • provide a PR with bumping the VERSION file to the 7.8.x branch
  • Release Build Status CI is triggered based on the changes in the release branch (not 7.8.x).
  • add 7.8.0 versions of the che-machine-exec and che-theia plugins and bump latest.txt files of those plugins to 7.8.0
  • update container runtime image tag of the theia-dev plugin to 7.8.0
  • submit PR with the changes above to the 7.8.x branch.

In order to trigger the CI once the PR is merged to the 7.8.x one needs to:

 git fetch origin 7.8.x:7.8.x
 git checkout 7.8.x
 git branch release -f 
 git push origin release -f

CI will build an image from the release branch and push it to quay.io e.g quay.io/eclipse/che-plugin-registry:7.8.0

The last things that need to be done:

  • the 7.8.0 tag creation from the 7.8.x branch
  • provide a PR to add the latest 7.8.0 versions of the che-theia and che-machine-exec plugins to the master branch, including updates to latest.txt files.

After the release, the VERSION file should be bumped in the master branch, e.g. to 7.9.0-SNAPSHOT.

Service / Bugfix Release

The release process is the same as for the Major / Minor one, but the values passed to the make-release.sh script will differ so that work is done in the existing 7.7.x branch.

./make-release.sh --repo git@github.com:eclipse/che-plugin-registry --version 7.7.1 --trigger-release

Note that nNew che-machine-exec and che-theia plugins for the 7.7.1 release should ALSO be added to the master branch.
