# Release & Deployment Process
2016-04-13 23:20:46 +08:00
Please read the Working Process/Quickstart Guide in [README.md](README.md)
and the Development guidelines in [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
The release process of a new version of the extension
shall be performed by the designated *Release Manager*.
Having checked PR to be released it shall be
merged back into the `master` branch to prepare the new release.
The version number in `pg/observatory.control` must first be updated.
To do so [Semantic Versioning 2.0](http://semver.org/) is in order.
Thew `NEWS.md` will be updated.
The next command must be executed to produce the main installation
2016-04-13 23:06:27 +08:00
script for the new release, `release/observatory--X.Y.Z.sql`:
```
make release
```
Then, the release manager shall produce upgrade and downgrade scripts
to migrate to/from the previous release. In the case of minor/patch
releases this simply consist in extracting the functions that have changed
and placing them in the proper `release/observatory--X.Y.Z--A.B.C.sql`
file.
The new release can be deployed for staging/smoke tests with this command:
```
sudo make deploy
```
This will copy the current 'X.Y.Z' released version of the extension to
PostgreSQL.
The `sudo make deploy` operation can be also used for installing
the new version after it has been released.
To install a specific version 'X.Y.Z' different from the current one
(which must be present in `releases/`) you can:
```
sudo make deploy RELEASE_VERSION=X.Y.Z
```
## Relevant release & deployment tasks available in the Makefile
* `make help` show a short description of the available targets
* `make release` will generate a new release (version number defined in
`src/pg/observatory.control`) into `release/`.
Intended for use by the release manager.
* `sudo make deploy` will install the current release X.Y.Z from the
2016-04-13 23:06:27 +08:00
`release/` files into PostgreSQL.
Intended for use by the release manager and deployment jobs.
* `sudo make deploy RELEASE_VERSION=X.Y.Z` will install specified version
previously generated in `release/`
2016-04-13 23:06:27 +08:00
into PostgreSQL.
Intended to be used by the release manager and deployment jobs.
