## Package Builds
### RPM Packages <a id="rpm-packages"></a>
### RPM Packages
```
git clone git@github.com:icinga/rpm-icingaweb2.git && cd rpm-icingaweb2
git clone git@git.icinga.com:packaging/rpm-icingaweb2.git && cd rpm-icingaweb2
```
#### Branch Workflow
**Major releases** are branched off `master`.
### DEB Packages
```
git checkout master && git pull
git clone git@git.icinga.com:packaging/deb-icingaweb2.git && cd deb-icingaweb2
```
**Bugfix releases** are created in the `release` branch and later merged to master.
### Branch Workflow
```
git checkout release && git pull
Checkout `master` and create a new branch.
* For releases use x.x[.x] as branch name (e.g. 2.7 or 2.7.1)
* For releases with revision use x.x.x-n (e.g. 2.7.0-2)
### Switch Build Type (For RPM and DEB)
Edit file `.gitlab-ci.yml` and comment variable `ICINGA_BUILD_TYPE` out.
```yaml
variables:
...
#ICINGA_BUILD_TYPE: snapshot
...
```
#### Release Commit
Set the `Version`, `Revision` and `changelog` inside the spec file.
Commit the change.
```
sed -i "s/Version: .*/Version: $VERSION/g" icingaweb2.spec
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" icingaweb2.spec
vim icingaweb2.spec
%changelog
* Wed Apr 24 2019 Johannes Meyer <johannes.meyer@icinga.com> 2.6.3-1
- Update to 2.6.3
* Tue Jul 30 2019 Johannes Meyer <johannes.meyer@icinga.com> 2.7.0-1
- Update to 2.7.0
```
#### DEB Release Preparations
Update file `debian/changelog` and add at the beginning:
```
icingaweb2 (2.7.0-1) icinga; urgency=medium
* Release 2.7.0-1
-- Eric Lippmann <eric.lippmann@icinga.com> Tue, 30 Jul 2019 09:28:52 +0000
```
### Release Commit (For RPM and DEB)
Commit the changes and push the branch.
```
git commit -av -m "Release $VERSION-1"
git push
git push origin 2.7
```
**Note for major releases**: Update release branch to latest.
`git checkout release && git pull && git merge master && git push`
Gitlab will now build snapshot packages based on the tag `v2.7.0` of Icinga Web 2.
**Note for minor releases**: Cherry-pick the release commit into master.
`git checkout master && git pull && git cherry-pick release && git push`
### Package Tests
In order to test the created packages you can download a job's artifacts:
### DEB Packages <a id="deb-packages"></a>
Visit [git.icinga.com](https://git.icinga.com/packaging/rpm-icingaweb2)
and navigate to the respective pipeline under `CI / CD -> Pipelines`.
There click on the job you want to download packages from:
![Pipeline Jobs](doc/res/gitlab-rpm-package-pipeline-jobs.png "Pipeline Jobs")
The job's output appears. On the right-hand sidebar you can browse its artifacts:
![Job Artifacts](doc/res/gitlab-job-artifacts.png "Job 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.
```
git clone git@github.com:icinga/deb-icingaweb2.git && cd deb-icingaweb2
git tag -s 2.7.0-1
git push origin 2.7.0-1
```
#### Branch Workflow
Now cherry pick the release commit to `master` so that the changes are transferred back to it.
**Major releases** are branched off `master`.
**Attention**: Only the release commit. *NOT* the one switching the build type!
```
git checkout master && git pull
```
**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` by using the `dch` helper.
```
VERSION=2.6.3
./dch $VERSION-1 "Update to $VERSION"
```
```
git commit -av -m "Release $VERSION-1"
git push
```
**Note for major releases**: Update release branch to latest.
```
git checkout release && git pull && git merge master && git push
```
**Note for minor releases**: Cherry-pick the release commit into master.
```
git checkout master && git pull && git cherry-pick release && git push
```
#### DEB with dch on macOS
```
docker run -v `pwd`:/mnt/packaging -ti ubuntu:bionic bash
apt-get update && apt-get install git ubuntu-dev-tools vim -y
cd /mnt/packaging
git config --global user.name "Eric Lippmann"
git config --global user.email "eric.lippmann@icinga.com"
VERSION=2.6.3
./dch $VERSION-1 "Update to $VERSION"
```
