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.
## Prepare release branch for use
-### Prepare .target files
+In release 1.31.0 Simantics started using uses the wonderful tool from Obeo ([https://github.com/mbarbero/fr.obeo.releng.targetplatform](https://github.com/mbarbero/fr.obeo.releng.targetplatform)) to generate `.target` files from `.tpd` files which allow much simpler specification of the target contents and also composition of .tpd files via inclusion.
+
+In the following steps, it is recommended to ensure every `.target` file is up-to-date by regenerating them from `.tpd` files. While doing so, take care to use up-to-date online contents to perform the generation.
+
+### Prepare `.tpd` files
1. Retrieve release branch of the platform repository
git branch release/x.y.z[.w] remotes/origin/release/x.y.z[.w]
git checkout release/x.y.z[.w]
-2. Edit all target platform files in `releng/org.simantics.sdk.build.targetdefinition/`, i.e.
- * `simantics.target`
- * `org.simantics.sdk.build.targetdefinition.target`
-
- At the beginning of simantics.target file, increment `sequenceNumber` by 1 and replace
- the version numbers in target name and `org.simantics.sdk.feature.group` and
- `org.simantics.sdk.source.feature.group` with `x.y.z[.w]`:
- ~~~
- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
- <?pde version="3.8"?>
- <target name="Simantics x.y.z[.w]" sequenceNumber="11">
- <unit id="org.simantics.sdk.feature.group" version="x.y.z[.w]"/>
- <unit id="org.simantics.sdk.source.feature.group" version="x.y.z[.w]"/>
- ~~~
+2. Edit all target platform files in `releng/org.simantics.sdk.build.targetdefinition/`, i.e.
+ * `org.simantics.sdk.build.targetdefinition.tpd`
+ * `simantics.tpd`
- Next, replace the following rows in both mentioned files:

~~~
3. Edit version number of `org.simantics.sdk` feature in `features/org.simantics.sdk.feature/feature.xml` to `x.y.z[.w]`.
Commit the changes with the following commit message
Bumped master target and org.simantics.sdk feature versions to x.y.z[.w].
+
refs #yyyy
where `#yyyy` is the number of the next release's release engineering issue.
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](https://www.simantics.org/jenkins/job/SDK/job/Simantics%20SDK/) Jenkins job.
+### Update `.target` files
+
+Lastly, we want to change the `.target` files to point to the correct P2 repository locations. This happens by opening the previously edited `.tpd` files in Obeo's editor and regenerating the `.target` files by pressing Alt+R.
+
+Push the changed files to remote again with commit message:
+
+ Configured release/x.y.z[.w] branch .target files.
+
+ refs #xxxx
+
+### Test Release Train build
+
+Trigger an execution of the [simantics-release-train](https://www.simantics.org/jenkins/job/simantics-release-train/) Jenkins job with parameters
+* GERRIT_REFNAME: `release/x.y.z[.w]`\r
+* PUBLISH_ARTIFACTS: `true`\r
+
+to ensure that all components of the release train build fine and to publish first versions of P2 repositories of everything online.

# TODO
-* Create a parametrized release train pipeline build in Jenkins that creates all artifacts of a simantics release
- * Desktop, Sysdyn, R, Simupedia, FMIL, FMI Studio
-
-
-* 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
-
-* Start using https://github.com/mbarbero/fr.obeo.releng.targetplatform to generate `.target` files. `.tpd` files allow specifying version ranges instead of specific versions.
