Release Process
====================
-* update translations (ping wumpus, Diapolo or tcatm on IRC)
-* see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/translation_process.md#syncing-with-transifex
+Before every release candidate:
-* * *
+* Update translations (ping wumpus on IRC) see [translation_process.md](https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master/doc/translation_process.md#synchronising-translations).
-###update (commit) version in sources
+* Update manpages, see [gen-manpages.sh](https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master/contrib/devtools/README.md#gen-manpagessh).
- contrib/verifysfbinaries/verify.sh
- doc/README*
- share/setup.nsi
- src/clientversion.h (change CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE to true)
+Before every minor and major release:
-###tag version in git
+* Update [bips.md](bips.md) to account for changes since the last release.
+* Update version in sources (see below)
+* Write release notes (see below)
+* Update `src/chainparams.cpp` nMinimumChainWork with information from the getblockchaininfo rpc.
+* Update `src/chainparams.cpp` defaultAssumeValid with information from the getblockhash rpc.
+ - The selected value must not be orphaned so it may be useful to set the value two blocks back from the tip.
+ - Testnet should be set some tens of thousands back from the tip due to reorgs there.
+ - This update should be reviewed with a reindex-chainstate with assumevalid=0 to catch any defect
+ that causes rejection of blocks in the past history.
- git tag -s v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
+Before every major release:
-###write release notes. git shortlog helps a lot, for example:
+* Update hardcoded [seeds](/contrib/seeds/README.md), see [this pull request](https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/pull/7415) for an example.
+* Update [`BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE`](/src/qt/intro.cpp) to the current size plus some overhead.
- git shortlog --no-merges v(current version, e.g. 0.7.2)..v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
+### First time / New builders
-* * *
+If you're using the automated script (found in [contrib/gitian-build.sh](/contrib/gitian-build.sh)), then at this point you should run it with the "--setup" command. Otherwise ignore this.
-###update gitian
+Check out the source code in the following directory hierarchy.
- In order to take advantage of the new caching features in gitian, be sure to update to a recent version (`e9741525c` or later is recommended)
+ cd /path/to/your/toplevel/build
+ git clone https://github.com/dogecoin-core/gitian.sigs.git
+ git clone https://github.com/dogecoin-core/dogecoin-detached-sigs.git
+ git clone https://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder.git
+ git clone https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin.git
-###perform gitian builds
+### Dogecoin maintainers/release engineers, update version in sources
- From a directory containing the dogecoin source, gitian-builder and gitian.sigs
-
- export SIGNER=(your gitian key, ie bluematt, sipa, etc)
- export VERSION=(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
- pushd ./dogecoin
- git checkout v${VERSION}
- popd
- pushd ./gitian-builder
+Update the following:
-###fetch and build inputs: (first time, or when dependency versions change)
-
- mkdir -p inputs
- wget -P inputs https://bitcoincore.org/cfields/osslsigncode-Backports-to-1.7.1.patch
- wget -P inputs http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/osslsigncode/osslsigncode/osslsigncode-1.7.1.tar.gz
+- `configure.ac`:
+ - `_CLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR`
+ - `_CLIENT_VERSION_MINOR`
+ - `_CLIENT_VERSION_REVISION`
+ - Don't forget to set `_CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to `true`
+- `src/clientversion.h`: (this mirrors `configure.ac` - see issue #3539)
+ - `CLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR`
+ - `CLIENT_VERSION_MINOR`
+ - `CLIENT_VERSION_REVISION`
+ - Don't forget to set `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to `true`
+- `doc/README.md` and `doc/README_windows.txt`
+- `doc/Doxyfile`: `PROJECT_NUMBER` contains the full version
+- `contrib/gitian-descriptors/*.yml`: usually one'd want to do this on master after branching off the release - but be sure to at least do it before a new major release
- Register and download the Apple SDK: (see OSX Readme for details)
-
- https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/Developer_Tools/xcode_6.1.1/xcode_6.1.1.dmg
-
- Using a Mac, create a tarball for the 10.9 SDK and copy it to the inputs directory:
-
- tar -C /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/ -czf MacOSX10.9.sdk.tar.gz MacOSX10.9.sdk
+Write release notes. git shortlog helps a lot, for example:
-###Optional: Seed the Gitian sources cache
+ git shortlog --no-merges v(current version, e.g. 0.7.2)..v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
- By default, gitian will fetch source files as needed. For offline builds, they can be fetched ahead of time:
+(or ping @wumpus on IRC, he has specific tooling to generate the list of merged pulls
+and sort them into categories based on labels)
- make -C ../dogecoin/depends download SOURCES_PATH=`pwd`/cache/common
+Generate list of authors:
- Only missing files will be fetched, so this is safe to re-run for each build.
+ git log --format='%aN' "$*" | sort -ui | sed -e 's/^/- /'
-###Build Dogecoin Core for Linux, Windows, and OS X:

- 1. source tarball (dogecoin-${VERSION}.tar.gz)
- 2. linux 32-bit and 64-bit dist tarballs (dogecoin-${VERSION}-linux[32|64].tar.gz)
- 3. windows 32-bit and 64-bit unsigned installers and dist zips (dogecoin-${VERSION}-win[32|64]-setup-unsigned.exe, dogecoin-${VERSION}-win[32|64].zip)
- 4. OSX unsigned installer and dist tarball (dogecoin-${VERSION}-osx-unsigned.dmg, dogecoin-${VERSION}-osx64.tar.gz)
- 5. Gitian signatures (in gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-<linux|{win,osx}-unsigned>/(your gitian key)/
+ git tag -s v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
-###Next steps:
+### Setup and perform Gitian builds
+
+If you're using the automated script (found in [contrib/gitian-build.sh](/contrib/gitian-build.sh)), then at this point you should run it with the "--build" command. Otherwise ignore this.
+
+Setup Gitian descriptors:
+
+ pushd ./dogecoin
+ export SIGNER=(your Gitian key, ie bluematt, sipa, etc)
+ export VERSION=(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
+ git fetch
+ git checkout v${VERSION}
+ popd
+
+Ensure your gitian.sigs are up-to-date if you wish to gverify your builds against other Gitian signatures.
+
+ pushd ./gitian.sigs
+ git pull
+ popd
+
+Ensure gitian-builder is up-to-date:
+
+ pushd ./gitian-builder
+ git pull
+ popd
+
+### Fetch and create inputs: (first time, or when dependency versions change)
+
+ pushd ./gitian-builder
+ mkdir -p inputs
+ wget -P inputs https://bitcoincore.org/cfields/osslsigncode-Backports-to-1.7.1.patch
+ wget -P inputs http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/osslsigncode/osslsigncode/osslsigncode-1.7.1.tar.gz
+ popd
+
+Create the OS X SDK tarball, see the [OS X readme](README_osx.md) for details, and copy it into the inputs directory.
+
+### Optional: Seed the Gitian sources cache and offline git repositories
+
+By default, Gitian will fetch source files as needed. To cache them ahead of time:
+
+ pushd ./gitian-builder
+ make -C ../dogecoin/depends download SOURCES_PATH=`pwd`/cache/common
+ popd
+
+Only missing files will be fetched, so this is safe to re-run for each build.
+
+NOTE: Offline builds must use the --url flag to ensure Gitian fetches only from local URLs. For example:
+
+ pushd ./gitian-builder
+ ./bin/gbuild --url dogecoin=/path/to/dogecoin,signature=/path/to/sigs {rest of arguments}
+ popd
+
+The gbuild invocations below <b>DO NOT DO THIS</b> by default.

### After 3 or more people have gitian-built and their results match:
- Create `SHA256SUMS.asc` for the builds, and GPG-sign it:
+
```bash
sha256sum * > SHA256SUMS
+```

+dogecoin-${VERSION}-win64.zip
+```
+The `*-debug*` files generated by the gitian build contain debug symbols
+for troubleshooting by developers. It is assumed that anyone that is interested
+in debugging can run gitian to generate the files for themselves. To avoid
+end-user confusion about which file to pick, as well as save storage
+space *do not upload these to the dogecoin.com server, nor put them in the torrent*.
