Yocto Release Process

Steps to release Yocto:

Run an autobuilder "generate-release" build. This will create images in /srv/www/vhosts/autobuilder.pokylinux.org/generate-release/<datestamp>/. Rename these files with the appropriate release name and version (Scott will have a script to do this by the next release).

For post-Green releases, there will be a release staging area that will be used to mirror the output before the files are released on the public web site.

On release branch:

  • Set DISTRO_VERSION in poky.conf
  • Update handbook references to stable release (introduction.xml, master branch needs this too)
  • Update version reference and updated date in handbook (poky-handbook.xml)
  • git commit -a -m "Purple 3.2 Release"
  • git tag -a purple-3.2 -m "Tag Purple 3.2"
  • git archive purple-3.2 --prefix=purple-3.2/ | bzip2 > /tmp/poky-purple-3.2.tar.bz2 scp /tmp/poky-purple-3.2.tar.bz2 o- hand.com:/srv/www/pokylinux.org/releases/poky-purple-3.2.tar.bz2

On master branch:

  • Set DISTRO_VERSION in poky.conf to new version
  • Update version reference and updated date in handbook (poky-handbook.xml)
  • cd handbook
  • make
  • scp -r poky-handbook.tgz poky-handbook.html poky-handbook.pdf *.png *.xml *.css *.svg o-hand.com:/srv/www/pokylinux.org/releases/purple-3.2/doc/
  • scp -r poky-handbook.tgz poky-handbook.html *.png *.xml *.css *.svg o-hand.com:/srv/www/pokylinux.org/releases/doc/

(or copy across by hand when remotely connected to machine?)
