```
### Issues
Check issues at https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2
### Backport Commits
For minor versions you need to manually backports any and all commits from the
master branch which should be part of this release.
### Authors
Update the [.mailmap](.mailmap) and [AUTHORS](AUTHORS) files:
```
git checkout master
git log --use-mailmap | grep '^Author:' | cut -f2- -d' ' | sort | uniq > AUTHORS
```
## Version
Update the version:
```
sed -i "s/Version: .*/Version: $VERSION/g" VERSION
```
## Changelog
Update the [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) file.
### Requirements
Export these environment variables:
```
export ICINGA_GITHUB_AUTH_USERNAME='user'
export ICINGA_GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN='token'
export ICINGA_GITHUB_PROJECT='icinga/icinga2'
```
### Generation
**Close the version on [GitHub](https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2/milestones).**
Run the script which updates the [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) file.
```
./changelog.py
git diff
```
## Git Tag
> **Major Releases**: Commit these changes to the `master` branch.
>
> **Minor Releases**: Commit changes to the `support` branch.
```
git commit -v -a -m "Release version $VERSION"
```
Create a signed tag (tags/v) 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/2.11
git push -u origin support/2.11
```
**For minor releases:** Push the support branch, cherry-pick the release commit
into master and merge the support branch:
```
git push -u origin support/2.10
git checkout master
git cherry-pick support/2.10
git merge --strategy=ours support/2.10
git push origin master
```
## Package Builds
### RPM Packages

#### Branch Workflow

**Bugfix releases** are created in the `release` branch and later merged to master.
```
git checkout release && git pull
```
#### Release Commit
Set the `Version`, `Revision` and `changelog` inside the spec file.
```
sed -i "s/Version: .*/Version: $VERSION/g" icinga2.spec
vim icinga2.spec
