35
36<p>
37This document uses the convention X.Y.Z for the release number with X.Y being
38the stable branch name.
39<br>
40Mesa provides feature and bugfix releases. Former use zero as patch version (Z),
41while the latter have a non-zero one.
42</p>
43
44<p>
45For example:
46</p>
47<pre>
48 Mesa 10.1.0 - 10.1 branch, feature
49 Mesa 10.1.4 - 10.1 branch, bugfix
50 Mesa 12.0.0 - 12.0 branch, feature
51 Mesa 12.0.2 - 12.0 branch, bugfix
52</pre>

56
57<p>
58Releases should happen on Fridays. Delays can occur although those should be keep
59to a minimum.

61See our <a href="release-calendar.html" target="_parent">calendar</a> for the

65<h2>Feature releases</h2>
66<ul>
Eric Engestrom077879c2017-02-26 23:58:03 +000067<li>Available approximately every three months.
Emil Velikov2edc29a2016-11-16 18:25:41 +000068<li>Initial timeplan available 2-4 weeks before the planned branchpoint (rc1)
69on the mesa-announce@ mailing list.
70<li>A <a href="#prerelease">pre-release</a> announcement should be available
Eric Engestrom077879c2017-02-26 23:58:03 +000071approximately 24 hours before the final (non-rc) release.
Emil Velikov2edc29a2016-11-16 18:25:41 +000072</ul>
73
74<h2>Stable releases</h2>
75<ul>
76<li>Normally available once every two weeks.
77<li>Only the latest branch has releases. See note below.
78<li>A <a href="#prerelease">pre-release</a> announcement should be available
Eric Engestrom077879c2017-02-26 23:58:03 +000079approximately 48 hours before the actual release.
Emil Velikov2edc29a2016-11-16 18:25:41 +000080</ul>
81
82<p>
83Note: There is one or two releases overlap when changing branches. For example:
84<br>
85The final release from the 12.0 series Mesa 12.0.5 will be out around the same
86time (or shortly after) 13.0.1 is out.

93Commits nominated for the active branch are picked as based on the
94<a href="submittingpatches.html#criteria" target="_parent">criteria</a> as
95described in the same section.

Andres Gomez80587072017-03-27 21:48:11 +030099Nomination happens in the mesa-stable@ mailing list. However,
100maintainer is resposible of checking for forgotten candidates in the
101master branch. This is achieved by a combination of ad-hoc scripts and
102a casual search for terms such as regression, fix, broken and similar.
103</p>
104
105<p>
106Maintainer is also responsible for testing in various possible permutations of
Emil Velikov2edc29a2016-11-16 18:25:41 +0000107the autoconf and scons build.

109
110<h2>Cherry-picking and build/check testing</h2>
111
112<p>Done continuously up-to the <a href="#prerelease">pre-release</a> announcement.</p>
113
114<p>
115As an exception, patches can be applied up-to the last ~1h before the actual
116release. This is made <strong>only</strong> with explicit permission/request,
117and the patch <strong>must</strong> be very well contained. Thus it cannot
118affect more than one driver/subsystem.
119</p>

214<h1 id="branch">Making a branchpoint</h1>
215
216<p>
217A branchpoint is made such that new development can continue in parallel to
218stabilisation and bugfixing.
219</p>
220
221<p>
222Note: Before doing a branch ensure that basic build and <code>make check</code>
223testing is done and there are little to-no issues.
224<br>
225Ideally all of those should be tackled already.
226</p>
227
228<p>
229Check if the version number is going to remain as, alternatively
230<code> git mv docs/relnotes/{current,new}.html </code> as appropriate.
231</p>
232
233<p>
234To setup the branchpoint:
235</p>
236<pre>
237 git checkout master # make sure we're in master first
238 git tag -s X.Y-branchpoint -m "Mesa X.Y branchpoint"
239 git checkout -b X.Y
Emil Velikov0f8afde2017-01-19 15:35:38 +0000240 git checkout master
241 $EDITOR VERSION # bump the version number
242 git commit -as
Emil Velikov1d104f92017-01-26 19:26:13 +0000243 cp docs/relnotes/{X.Y,X.Y+1}.html # copy/create relnotes template
244 git commit -as
Emil Velikov2edc29a2016-11-16 18:25:41 +0000245 git push origin X.Y-branchpoint X.Y
246</pre>
247
248<p>
249Now go to
250<a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/editversions.cgi?action=add&amp;product=Mesa" target="_parent">Bugzilla</a> and add the new Mesa version X.Y.
251</p>
Andres Gomeze0f7d252017-03-27 21:48:10 +0300252
Emil Velikov2edc29a2016-11-16 18:25:41 +0000253<p>
Emil Velikov383e8e22017-02-20 19:27:49 +0000254Check that there are no distribution breaking changes and revert them if needed.
255For example: files being overwritten on install, etc. Happens extremely rarely -
256we had only one case so far (see commit 2ced8eb136528914e1bf4e000dea06a9d53c7e04).

267It comes shortly after outstanding patches in the respective branch are pushed.
268Developers can check, in brief, what's the status of their patches. They,
269alongside very early testers, are strongly encouraged to test the branch and
270report any regressions.
271<br>
272It is followed by a brief period (normally 24 or 48 hours) before the actual
273release is made.

405<h3>Get latest source files</h3>

409relevant branch.

417<a href="#prerelease">pre-announce</a> stages.
Emil Velikov2edc29a2016-11-16 18:25:41 +0000418So we do a quick 'touch test'

502<h3>Update version in file VERSION</h3>
503
504<p>
505Increment the version contained in the file VERSION at Mesa's top-level, then
506commit this change.
507</p>
508
509<h3>Create release notes for the new release</h3>
510
511<p>
512Create a new file docs/relnotes/X.Y.Z.html, (follow the style of the previous
513release notes). Note that the sha256sums section of the release notes should
514be empty (TBD) at this point.
515</p>
516
517<p>
518Two scripts are available to help generate portions of the release notes:
Andres Gomeze0f7d252017-03-27 21:48:10 +0300519</p>
Emil Velikov2edc29a2016-11-16 18:25:41 +0000520
521<pre>
522 ./bin/bugzilla_mesa.sh
523 ./bin/shortlog_mesa.sh
524</pre>
525
526<p>
527The first script identifies commits that reference bugzilla bugs and obtains
528the descriptions of those bugs from bugzilla. The second script generates a
529log of all commits. In both cases, HTML-formatted lists are printed to stdout
530to be included in the release notes.
531</p>
532
533<p>
534Commit these changes and push the branch.
535</p>

Emil Velikov79562032017-03-15 17:34:24 +0000545Start the release process.

559<h3>Add the sha256sums to the release notes</h3>
560
561<p>
Eric Engestrom077879c2017-02-26 23:58:03 +0000562Edit docs/relnotes/X.Y.Z.html to add the sha256sums as available in the mesa-X.Y.Z.announce template. Commit this change.
Emil Velikov2edc29a2016-11-16 18:25:41 +0000563</p>
564
565<h3>Back on mesa master, add the new release notes into the tree</h3>
566
567<p>
568Something like the following steps will do the trick:
569</p>
570
571<pre>
572 git cherry-pick -x X.Y~1
573 git cherry-pick -x X.Y
574</pre>
575
576<p>
577Also, edit docs/relnotes.html to add a link to the new release notes, and edit
578docs/index.html to add a news entry. Then commit and push:
579</p>
580
581<pre>
582 git commit -as -m "docs: add news item and link release notes for X.Y.Z"
583 git push origin master X.Y
584</pre>

602
603<p>
Emil Velikove280a6b2017-02-10 12:51:22 +0000604As the hosting was moved to freedesktop, git hooks are deployed to update the
605website. Manually check that it is updated 5-10 minutes after the final <code>git push</code>
Emil Velikov2edc29a2016-11-16 18:25:41 +0000606</p>
607

610
611<p>
612Parse through the bugreports as listed in the docs/relnotes/X.Y.Z.html
613document.
614<br>
615If there's outstanding action, close the bug referencing the commit ID which
616addresses the bug and mention the Mesa version that has the fix.

620Note: the above is not applicable to all the reports, so use common sense.
