+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.

+For simplicity, each of these components are versioned accoring to platform versioning, i.e. for Platform SDK 1.26.0 there will be Simantics Desktop 1.26.0, Sysdyn 1.26.0, and so on.

+Create release branch from selected commit
+When release stabilisation starts, all relevant repositories need to be branched.
+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> <command> [<command-arguments>]
+
+Commands:
+ clone The first thing that needs to be done before anything else
+ Clones all platform repositories under directory <version>
+
+Inspection commands:
+ diff [args] Run git diff [args] for each platform repository
+ log [args] Run git log [args] for each platform repository
+ status [args] Run git status [args] for each platform repository
+ list-tags Run git tag -l for each repository
+
+Action:
+ add
+ branch Run git branch <branch-name> for each platform repository
+ checkout Run git checkout <branch-name> for each repository
+ commit
+ fetch Run git fetch --all for each repository
+ pull Run git pull --all for each repository
+ push Run git push origin <branch> for each repository
+ push-tags Run git push --tags for each repository
+ remove-tag Run git tag -d v<branch> for each repository
+ reset [args] Run git reset [args] for each repository
+ tag Run git checkout <branch> and
+ git tag -a v<branch> -m "Simantics <branch> simultaneous release"
+ for each repository
+
+Compound release commands:
+ prepare-release-branch <from-branch>
+ <from-branch> the name of the branch that the codebase is currently on
+
+Top-level release commands:
+ bump-master-version <from-version> <to-version>
+ <from-version> the version string to replace
+ <to-version> the replacing new version string
+
+ branch-release <from-branch>
+ <from-branch> the branch to create the service branch from

is the number of the x.y.z[.w] release engineering issue and push them to remote

+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
argument tells what branch to specify to some of the available actions, e.g. branch
, checkout
, etc.
+Creating the release branch from master and pushing the new branches to remote happens as follows:
+# When the commit messages appear, add references to created
+# Gitlab release engineering issues by adding this to the commit message:
+#
+# gitlab #xxxx
+#
+# where xxxx is the release engineering issue for the respective project

If you are branching from master
, bump the revision of master right now to start the next release cycle in master.
-An example of these changes can be seen in gitweb.
Commit the changes with the following commit message

+If you're creating a service release x.y.w
from x.y.z
where w > z
, do this:
+fromBranch=release/x.y.z
+branch=release/x.y.w
+./release-helper.sh $version $branch $user branch-release $fromBranch
+./release-helper.sh $version $branch $user push
-where #yyyy
is the number of the next release's release engineering issue.

If you branched a new release from master
, you should also bump the revision of the master branch right now to start the next release cycle in master.
+An example of these changes can be seen in gitweb or in review 1362.
+The changes include:
release/x.y.z[.w]
true
Perform and push the changes in master by running:
+branch=master
+./release-helper.sh $version $branch $user checkout
+./release-helper.sh $version $branch $user bump-master-version x.y.z X.Y.Z
+./release-helper.sh $version $branch $user push
+
+where x.y.z
is the old version number of master and X.Y.Z
is the new version number.
+Trigger an execution of the simantics-release-train Jenkins job with parameters
release/x.y.z[.w]
true
release/x.y.z[.w]
true
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
+ }
+}
+
