How to release pytest
--------------------------------------------
Note: this assumes you have already registered on pypi.
1. Bump version numbers in _pytest/__init__.py (setup.py reads it)
2. Check and finalize CHANGELOG
3. Write doc/en/announce/release-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 --formats sdist,bdist_wheel``
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. Regenerate the docs examples using tox, and check for regressions::
tox -e regen
git diff
8. Build the docs, you need a virtualenv with py and sphinx
installed::
cd doc/en
make html
Commit any changes before tagging the release.
9. Tag the release::
git tag VERSION
git push
10. Upload the docs using doc/en/Makefile::
cd doc/en
make install # or "installall" if you have LaTeX installed for PDF
This requires ssh-login permission 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.
If you are making a minor release (e.g. 5.4), you also need to manually
create a symlink for "latest"::
ssh pytest-dev@pytest.org
ln -s 5.4 latest
Browse to pytest.org to verify.
11. Publish to pypi::
devpi push pytest-VERSION pypi:NAME
where NAME is the name of pypi.python.org as configured in your
~/.pypirc file `for devpi <http://doc.devpi.net/latest/quickstart-releaseprocess.html?highlight=pypirc#devpi-push-releasing-to-an-external-index>`_.
12. Send release announcement to mailing lists:
- pytest-dev
- testing-in-python
- python-announce-list@python.org
13. **after the release** Bump the version number in ``_pytest/__init__.py``,
to the next Minor release version (i.e. if you released ``pytest-2.8.0``,
set it to ``pytest-2.9.0.dev1``).
