.There are both plug-in components and products that are part of the Simantics Release Train that shall be released simultaneously to a major or minor Simantics release.
Plug-in components are installable features that are deployed online as P2 repositories for general availability. Products are deployed as ZIP files and made available online in designated locations on simantics.org.

+When release stabilisation starts, branch all relevant repositories like this:

cd platform
git branch release/x.y.z[.w] <commit>

-cd third-party
-git branch release/x.y.z[.w] <commit>
-git push origin release/x.y.z[.w]
When creating major/minor releases <commit>
is usually a commit in the master
branch.
With service releases, branch from an existing release/*
branch instead.
+Instead of doing this clone+branch+push sequence for every SDK repository separately,
+please use the included release-helper.sh
shell script to perform this mechanical work. The script supports many useful basic git commands which all perform the requested operation on all the release train repositories. The operations can be seen from the help text printed by the script when given no arguments:
+Usage: release-helper.sh <version> <branch-name> <user-name> clone|branch|checkout|fetch|list-tags|pull|push|push-tags|remove-tag|status|tag
+
+Always begin by cloning all the repositories for working on
+./release-helper.sh x.y.z release/x.y.z your-git-username clone
+
+This will create a directory called x.y.z
under the current working directory and clone all the repositories under it. The first <version>
argument is only used for the base working directory x.y.z
. The second <branch-name>
argument tells what branch to specify to the action, i.e. branch
, checkout
, etc.
+Branching and pushing the branches to remote happens as follows:
+./release-helper.sh x.y.z release/x.y.z your-git-username branch
+./release-helper.sh x.y.z release/x.y.z your-git-username checkout
+./release-helper.sh x.y.z release/x.y.z your-git-username push
+
+If you're creating a service release x.y.w
from x.y.z
where w > z
, do this:
+./release-helper.sh x.y.w release/x.y.z your-git-username clone
+./release-helper.sh x.y.w release/x.y.z your-git-username checkout
+./release-helper.sh x.y.w release/x.y.w your-git-username branch
+./release-helper.sh x.y.w release/x.y.w your-git-username checkout
+# Perhaps make modifications to the branch here and commit to each project separately
+./release-helper.sh x.y.w release/x.y.w your-git-username push

Do the same for simupedia target platform files as was done in task 6. +for platform target definitions.
Running these two builds will ensure that both the external components required to build the SDK and the Simantics SDK for the new release branch are published online at http://www.simantics.org/download/release/x.y.z[.w]/
.
After this, whenever changes are pushed/merged to release/x.y.z[.w]
branch in Gerrit, new SDK/Simantics SDK builds are triggered automatically and they will publish the results at the same location online.
This means that one does not have to do any tricks after this to build and publish the SDK as a P2 repository online. It is an automated process that is performed by the SDK/Simantics SDK Jenkins job.

to ensure that all components of the release train build fine and to publish first versions of P2 repositories of everything online.
+The release train build is currently never ran automatically.
+However, after following all these steps, whenever changes are pushed/merged to release/x.y.z[.w]
branch in Gerrit, new Jenkins builds are triggered automatically and they will publish the results (P2 repositories/products) at their designated locations online.
The release train build does two very important steps as the first things, +i.e. build the external dependency P2 repositories for both the +Platform SDK and Simupedia:
+stage('External Dependencies') {
+ node {
+ build job: 'SDK/Deploy External Components to Web', parameters: params1
+ build job: 'Member Components/Simupedia/fi.semantum.simupedia.build.p2.site', parameters: params1
+ }
+}
+
+After that it builds the Platform SDK and Simupedia before building anything else:
+stage('SDK') {
+ node {
+ build job: 'SDK/Simantics SDK', parameters: params1
+ // Note that Simantics SDK builds simupedia-git as well
+ }
