# Release & Deployment Process
|
|
|
|
The release process of a new version of the extension
|
|
shall be performed by the designated *Release Manager*.
|
|
|
|
## Release steps
|
|
1. Make sure `develop` branch passes all the tests.
|
|
1. Merge `develop` into `master`
|
|
1. Update the version number in `src/pg/crankshaft.control`.
|
|
1. Generate the next release files with this command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
make release
|
|
```
|
|
1. Generate an upgrade path from the previous to the next release by copying the generated release file. E.g:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cp release/crankshaft--X.Y.Z.sql release/crankshaft--A.B.C--X.Y.Z.sql
|
|
```
|
|
NOTE: you can rely on this thanks to the compatibility checks.
|

|
|
2. Update the [NEWS.md](https://github.com/CartoDB/crankshaft/blob/master/NEWS.md) file
|
|
1. Commit and push the generated files.
|
|
1. Tag the release:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git tag -a X.Y.Z -m "Release X.Y.Z"
|
|
git push origin X.Y.Z
|
|
```
|
|
1. Deploy and test in staging
|
|
1. Deploy and test in production
|
|
1. Merge back into develop
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Some remarks
|
|
* Version numbers shall follow [Semantic Versioning 2.0](http://semver.org/).
|
|
* CI tests will take care of **forward compatibility** of the extension at postgres level.
|
|
* **Major version changes** (breaking forward compatibility) are a major event and are out of the scope of this doc. They **shall be avoided as much as we can**.
|
|
* We will go forward, never backwards. **Generating upgrade paths automatically is easy** and we'll rely on the CI checks for that.
|
|
|
|
## Deploy commands
|
|
|
|
The new release can be deployed for staging/smoke tests with this command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo make deploy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install a specific version 'X.Y.Z' different from the default one:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo make deploy RELEASE_VERSION=X.Y.Z
|
|
```
