How to make a release

git

• Resolve all issues associated with the milestone
• Merge all pull requests associated with the milestone into master
• Create a feature branch in a forked repo for the new release and on that branch:
  • Bump the version
  • Update the ASCII art in __init__.py with figlet :)
  • Update the change log
• Open and merge a pull request to merge the release changes into master
• On the main GitHub repo:
  • Create a new release branch named after the version (e.g. 1.7) in anticipation of hot fixes for that release later on
  • Tag the new state of master with the release number, e.g. v1.7
  • push the new branch: git push --all
  • push the new tag: git push --tag
• Add the relevant change log entries to the release info on GitHub by drafting a new release as per https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-releases, select the release's git tag as base
• Close the milestone of the current release
• Potentially create a new milestone for the next release

Note: Don't forget to update the PeekaooAV submodule of https://github.com/scVENUS/PeekabooAV-Installer to reference the new release.

PyPi Upload

• Check out the release tag
• Clean the workspace
• Create a source distribution with setup.py sdist
• Upload to PyPi using twine

cd /path/to/PeekabooAV/
git checkout v1.7
git clean -id
python setup.py sdist
twine upload -u peekabooav dist/*

Check your work here https://pypi.org/project/PeekabooAV/.

Note: Ensure that you have a clean workspace before building distributions, since any uncommited changes in your local workspace are included in the distribution.
