Release Tools

release_from_yaml.sh

This script takes YAML files describing deliverables to release (like those living in openstack/releases) and calls the release.sh script (see below) to apply the corresponding tags. It will create a tag for the last release mentioned in the file(s). You can point it to specific YAML files, or to a local git repository (in which case it will look at the files modified in the most recent commit).

Examples:

./release_from_yaml.sh ../openstack-releases deliverables/mitaka/nova.yaml

Call release.sh for all repositories mentioned in the last release added to ../openstack-releases/deliverables/mitaka/nova.yaml

./release_from_yaml.sh ../openstack-releases

Look into the git repository at ../openstack-releases for deliverable YAML files modified at the last commit, and call release.sh for all repositories mentioned on the last release in each such file.

release.sh

This script creates a tag on a given repository SHA and pushes it to Gerrit. Additionally it will add a message on Launchpad bugs that are mentioned as "closed" in git commit messages since the last tag on the same series.

Example:

./release.sh openstack/oslo.rootwrap mitaka 3.0.3 gerrit/master

Apply a 3.0.3 tag (associated to the mitaka series) to the gerrit master HEAD of the openstack/oslo.rootwrap reporitory, and add a comment for each closed bug mentioned in commit messages since the previous mitaka tag (3.0.2).

branch_from_yaml.sh

This script looks at the deliverable files to decide how to create stable branches.
