# Release Workflow
Print this document.
## Issues
Check the following issue filters:
* [Pending backports](https://dev.icinga.org/projects/i2/issues?query_id=41)
* [Invalid target version](https://dev.icinga.org/projects/i2/issues?query_id=55)
## Backport Commits
$ git checkout master
$ ./pick.py -V 2.4.9
The script creates a new branch 'auto-merged-2.4.9' which is based on the
current support branch. It then merges all commits from the 'master' branch which
reference a ticket for the version that was specified.
If there are any merge commits you will need to manually fix them and continue the
rebase until no commits are left:
$ git rebase --continue
After finishing the rebase the branch needs to be merged into the support branch:
$ git checkout support/2.4
$ git merge --ff-only auto-merged-2.4.9
## 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 number in the following files:
* [icinga2.spec]: Version: (.*)
* [icinga2.nuspec]: <version>(.*)</version>
* [tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1]: Icinga2-v(.*)-{x86,x86_64}.msi
## Changelog
Update the [ChangeLog](ChangeLog), [doc/1-about.md](doc/1-about.md) files using
the changelog.py script. Also generate HTML for the wordpress release announcement.
Changelog:
$ ./changelog.py -V 2.4.9
Docs:
$ ./changelog.py -V 2.4.9 -l
Wordpress:
$ ./changelog.py -V 2.4.9 -H -l
## Git Tag
Commit these changes to the "master" branch:
$ git commit -v -a -m "Release version <VERSION>"
For minor releases: Cherry-pick this commit into the "support" branch.
Create a signed tag (tags/v<VERSION>) on the "master" branch (for major
releases) or the "support" branch (for minor releases).
GB:
$ git tag -u EE8E0720 -m "Version <VERSION>" v<VERSION>
MF:
$ git tag -u D14A1F16 -m "Version <VERSION>" v<VERSION>
Push the tag.
$ git push --tags
For major releases: Create a new "support" branch:
$ git checkout master
$ git checkout -b support/2.4
$ git push -u origin support/2.4
For minor releases: Push the support branch, cherry-pick the release commit
into master and merge the support branch:
$ git push -u origin support/2.4
$ git checkout master
$ git cherry-pick support/2.4
$ git merge --strategy=ours support/2.4
$ git push origin master
