From: Tuukka Lehtonen 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. Products that are part of the release train: Plug-in components that are part of the release train: 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. In the following sections each task is described step by step. When release stabilisation starts, branch At the beginning of each .target file, increment At the beginning of simantics.target file, increment Next, replace the following rows in those files: Next, replace the following rows in both mentioned files: 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 After this, whenever changes are pushed/merged to 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. Documentation to review: For each wiki page: Note The -m argument must be supplied to create an annotated tag.
Only annotated or signed tags can be pushed to Gerrit. Dump documentation wiki using dump-wikis.sh script. The wiki documentation is mainly in MediaWiki installations. The only
-sane way to tag the documentation is to back up the mysql database
-backing the wiki. This step is only necessary for major/minor releases, not for service releases. The wiki databases to be backed up are: These are MediaWiki installations. The only sane way to "tag" the documentation
+is to back up the mysql database backing the wiki. Should the wiki be required
+at a later time for some reason, we'll put the documentation up then in a
+separate Mediawiki installation. Dump documentation wiki databases using dump-wikis.sh script.

Insert some general thoughts on the release...
TODO
-- Incorporate tutorial code in the platform repository as a separate folder to allow platform builds to directly ensure that the tutorial code still builds OK
-- Create a parametrized release train pipeline build in Jenkins that creates all artifacts of a simantics release in one go
-- Start using https://github.com/mbarbero/fr.obeo.releng.targetplatform to generate
.target
files. .tpd
files allow specifying version ranges instead of specific versions.
