## Preparations <a id="preparations"></a>

Specify the release version.

```
VERSION=2.11.0
```

Add your signing key to your Git configuration file, if not already there.

```
vim $HOME/.gitconfig

[user]
        email = michael.friedrich@icinga.com
        name = Michael Friedrich
        signingkey = D14A1F16
```

### Issues <a id="issues"></a>

Check issues at https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2

### Backport Commits <a id="backport-commits"></a>

For minor versions you need to manually backports any and all commits from the
master branch which should be part of this release.

### Authors <a id="authors"></a>

Update the [.mailmap](.mailmap) and [AUTHORS](AUTHORS) files:

```
git checkout master
git log --use-mailmap | grep '^Author:' | cut -f2- -d' ' | sort -f | uniq > AUTHORS
```

## Version <a id="version"></a>

Update the version:

```
sed -i "s/Version: .*/Version: $VERSION/g" VERSION
```

## Changelog <a id="changelog"></a>

Choose the most important issues and summarize them in multiple groups/paragraphs. Provide links to the mentioned
issues/PRs. At the start include a link to the milestone's closed issues.


## Git Tag  <a id="git-tag"></a>

```
git commit -v -a -m "Release version $VERSION"
```

Create a signed tag (tags/v<VERSION>) on the `master` branch (for major
releases) or the `support` branch (for minor releases).

```
git tag -s -m "Version $VERSION" v$VERSION
```

Push the tag:

```
git push --tags
```

**For major releases:** Create a new `support` branch:

```
git checkout master
git push

git checkout -b support/2.12
git push -u origin support/2.12
```


## Package Builds  <a id="package-builds"></a>

```
mkdir $HOME/dev/icinga/packaging
cd $HOME/dev/icinga/packaging
```

### RPM Packages  <a id="rpm-packages"></a>

```
git clone git@git.icinga.com:icinga/rpm-icinga2.git && cd rpm-icinga2
```

### DEB Packages <a id="deb-packages"></a>

```
git clone git@git.icinga.com:packaging/deb-icinga2.git && cd deb-icinga2
```

#### Raspbian Packages

```
git clone git@git.icinga.com:icinga/raspbian-icinga2.git && cd raspbian-icinga2
```

### Windows Packages

```
git clone git@git.icinga.com:icinga/windows-icinga2.git && cd windows-icinga2
```


### Branch Workflow

Checkout `master` and create a new branch.

* For releases use x.x[.x] as branch name (e.g. 2.11 or 2.11.1)
* For releases with revision use x.x.x-n (e.g. 2.11.0-2)


### Switch Build Type

Edit file `.gitlab-ci.yml` and comment variable `ICINGA_BUILD_TYPE` out.

```yaml
variables:
  ...
  #ICINGA_BUILD_TYPE: snapshot
  ...
```

Commit the change.

```
git commit -av -m "Switch build type for $VERSION-1"
```

#### RPM Release Preparations

Set the `Version`, `revision` and `%changelog` inside the spec file:

```
sed -i "s/Version:.*/Version:        $VERSION/g" icinga2.spec

vim icinga2.spec

%changelog
* Thu Sep 19 2019 Michael Friedrich <michael.friedrich@icinga.com> 2.11.0-1
- Update to 2.11.0
```

#### DEB and Raspbian Release Preparations

Update file `debian/changelog` and add at the beginning:

```
icinga2 (2.11.0-1) icinga; urgency=medium

  * Release 2.11.0

 -- Michael Friedrich <michael.friedrich@icinga.com>  Thu, 19 Sep 2019 10:50:31 +0200
```


### Release Commit

Commit the changes and push the branch.

```
git commit -av -m "Release $VERSION-1"
git push origin 2.11
```

GitLab will now build snapshot packages based on the tag `v2.11.0` of Icinga 2.

### Package Tests

In order to test the created packages you can download a job's artifacts:

Visit [git.icinga.com](https://git.icinga.com/packaging/rpm-icinga2)
and navigate to the respective pipeline under `CI / CD -> Pipelines`.

There click on the job you want to download packages from.

The job's output appears. On the right-hand sidebar you can browse its artifacts.

Once there, navigate to `build/RPMS/noarch` where you'll find the packages.

### Release Packages

To build release packages and upload them to [packages.icinga.com](https://packages.icinga.com)
tag the release commit and push it.

RPM/DEB/Raspbian:

```
git tag -s $VERSION-1 -m "Release v$VERSION-1"
git push origin $VERSION-1
```

Windows:

```
git tag -s $VERSION -m "Release v$VERSION"
git push origin $VERSION
```


Now cherry pick the release commit to `master` so that the changes are transferred back to it.

**Attention**: Only the release commit. *NOT* the one switching the build type!


## Build Infrastructure <a id="build-infrastructure"></a>

https://git.icinga.com/packaging/rpm-icinga2/pipelines
https://git.icinga.com/packaging/deb-icinga2/pipelines
https://git.icinga.com/packaging/windows-icinga2/pipelines
https://git.icinga.com/packaging/raspbian-icinga2/pipelines

* Verify package build changes for this version.
* Test the snapshot packages for all distributions beforehand.

Once the release repository tags are pushed, release builds
are triggered and automatically published to packages.icinga.com

## Release Tests  <a id="release-tests"></a>

* Test DB IDO with MySQL and PostgreSQL.
* Provision the vagrant boxes and test the release packages.
* Test the [setup wizard](https://packages.icinga.com/windows/) inside a Windows VM.
* Start a new docker container and install/run icinga2.

## GitHub Release  <a id="github-release"></a>

Create a new release for the newly created Git tag: https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2/releases

> Hint: Choose [tags](https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2/tags), pick one to edit and
> make this a release. You can also create a draft release.

The release body should contain a short changelog, with links
into the roadmap, changelog and blogpost.


## Chocolatey  <a id="chocolatey"></a>

Navigate to the git repository on your Windows box which
already has chocolatey installed. Pull/checkout the release.

Create the nupkg package (or use the one generated on https://packages.icinga.com/windows):

```
cpack
```

Fetch the API key from https://chocolatey.org/account and use the `choco push`
command line.

```
choco apikey --key xxx --source https://push.chocolatey.org/

choco push Icinga2-v2.11.0.nupkg --source https://push.chocolatey.org/
```


## Docker  <a id="docker"></a>

> Only for final versions (not for RCs).

[GitHub actions](https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2/actions) to complete.

```bash
VERSION=2.12.1

TAGS=(2.12)
#TAGS=(2.12 2 latest)

docker pull icinga/icinga2:$VERSION
