How to Prepare a Release

In this guide, we’ll cover:

• Bumping the Version

• Releasing on Github

• Releasing on Anaconda

• Creating a New Version of the Documentation

Bumping the Version

1. Checkout the latest master.

2. Checkout a branch with the name of the version.

   # Prepend "v" to <version>
   # For release candidates, append "rc" to <version>
   git checkout -b v<version>
   git push --set-upstream origin v<version>
   

3. Bump version using tbump.

   # Exclude "v" and <version> should match step 2
   # --no-tag is required since tagging is handled in "Releasing on GitHub"
   tbump <version> --no-tag
   
   :: Bumping from 2.5.0 to 2.6.0
   => Would patch these files
   - setup.py:113 version="2.5.0",
   + setup.py:113 version="2.6.0",
   - acme_diags/__init__.py:4 __version__ = "v2.5.0"
   + acme_diags/__init__.py:4 __version__ = "v2.6.0"
   - conda/meta.yaml:2 {% set version = "2.5.0" %}
   + conda/meta.yaml:2 {% set version = "2.6.0" %}
   - conda/e3sm_diags_env.yml:22 - e3sm_diags=2.5.0
   + conda/e3sm_diags_env.yml:22 - e3sm_diags=2.6.0
   - tbump.toml:5 current = "2.5.0"
   + tbump.toml:5 current = "2.6.0"
   => Would run these git commands
   $ git add --update
   $ git commit --message Bump to 2.6.0
   $ git push origin v2.6.0
   :: Looking good? (y/N)
   >
   

4. Create a pull request to the main repo and merge it.

Releasing on GitHub

1. Draft a new release on the releases page.

2. Set Tag version to v<version>, including the “v”. @Target should be master.

3. Set Release title to v<version>, including the “v”.

4. Use Describe this release to summarize the changelog.

   • You can scroll through e3sm-diags commits for a list of changes.

5. If this version is a release candidate (<version> appended with rc), checkmark This is a pre-release.

6. Click Publish release.

7. CI/CD release workflow is automatically triggered.

Releasing on Anaconda

1. Be sure to have already completed Releasing on GitHub.

2. Follow the steps on the feedstock page for updating the e3sm_diags-feedstock.

3. The package will be released on conda-forge.

Creating a New Version of the Documentation

1. Be sure to have already completed Creating A Release On GitHub. This triggers the CI/CD workflow that handles publishing documentation versions.

2. Wait until the CI/CD build is successful. You can view all workflows at All Workflows.

3. Changes will be available on the e3sm_diags documentation page.
