How to release pytest (draft)
--------------------------------------------
1. bump version numbers in setup.py and pytest/__init__.py
2. check and finalize CHANGELOG
3. write doc/en/announce/pytest-VERSION.txt and include
it in doc/en/announce/index.txt
4. use devpi for uploading a release tarball to a staging area:
- ``devpi use https://devpi.net/USER/dev``
- ``devpi upload``
5. run from multiple machines:
- ``devpi use https://devpi.net/USER/dev``
- ``devpi test pytest-VERSION``
6. check that tests pass for relevant combinations with
``devpi list pytest``
or look at failures with "devpi list -f pytest".
There will be some failed environments like e.g. the py33-trial
or py27-pexpect tox environments on Win32 platforms
which is ok (tox does not support skipping on
per-platform basis yet).
7. XXX "regen docs" (not easy to do currently as it requires
a development version of the regendoc tool from ronny)
8. go to "doc/en" and upload docs with "make install"
(the latter requires ssh-login permissions on pytest.org
because it uses rsync). Note that the "install" target of
doc/en/Makefile defines where the rsync goes to, typically
to the "latest" section of pytest.org.
9. publish to pypi "devpi push pytest-2.6.2 pypi:NAME" where NAME
is the name of pypi.python.org as configured in your
~/.pypirc file -- it's the same you would use with
"setup.py upload -r NAME"
10. send release announcement to mailing lists:
pytest-dev
testing-in-python
python-announce-list@python.org
