Building an RC

The Release Candidate artefacts artifacts we vote upon should be the exact ones we vote against, without any modification than renaming – i.e. the contents of the files must be the same between voted release canidate and final release. Because of this the version in the built artefacts artifacts that will become the official Apache releases must not include the rcN suffix.

...

• Tag your release

  Code Block
  language bash theme Midnight
  git tag ${VERSION}

  
  

• Clean the checkout: the sdist step below will

  Code Block
  language bash theme Midnight
  git clean -fxd

  
  

• Tarball the repo


  Code Block
  language bash theme Midnight
  git archive --format=tar.gz ${VERSION} --prefix=apache-airflow-${VERSION}/ -o apache-airflow-${VERSION}-source.tar.gz

  
  

• Generate sdist
  NOTE: Make sure your checkout is clean at this stage - any untracked or changed files will otherwise be included in the file produced.

  Code Block
  language bash theme Midnight
  python setup.py compile_assets sdist bdist_wheel

  
  

• Rename the sdist

  Code Block
  language bash theme Midnight
  mv dist/apache-airflow-${VERSION%rc?}.tar.gz apache-airflow-${VERSION}-bin.tar.gz mv dist/apache_airflow-${VERSION%rc?}-py2.py3-none-any.whl apache_airflow-${VERSION}-py2.py3-none-any.whl

  
  

• Generate SHA512/ASC (If you have not generated a key yet, generate it by following instructions on http://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html#key-gen-generate-key)

  Code Block
  language bash theme Midnight
  ${AIRFLOW_REPO_ROOT}/dev/sign.sh apache-airflow-${VERSION}-source.tar.gz ${AIRFLOW_REPO_ROOT}/dev/sign.sh apache-airflow-${VERSION}-bin.tar.gz ${AIRFLOW_REPO_ROOT}/dev/sign.sh apache_airflow-${VERSION}-py2.py3-none-any.whl

  


• Push Tags

  Code Block
  language bash theme Midnight
  git push --tags

  
  

• Push the artefacts artifacts to ASF dev dist repo

  Code Block
  language bash theme Midnight
  # First clone the repo svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow airflow-dev # Create new folder for the release cd airflow-dev svn mkdir ${VERSION} # Move the artefactsartifacts to svn folder & commit mv ${AIRFLOW_REPO_ROOT}/apache{-,_}airflow-${VERSION}* airflow-dev/${VERSION}/ cd ${VERSION} svn add * svn commit -m "Add artefactsartifacts for Airflow ${VERSION}"

  
  

PyPI Snapshots (Optional)

At this point we have the artefact that we vote on, but as a convenience to developers we also want to publish "snapshots" of the RC builds to pypi for installing via pip. To do this we need to

• Edit the airflow/version.py to include the RC suffix.
• python setup.py compile_assets sdist bdist_wheel
• Follow the steps in Releasing Airflow 85460999
• Throw away the change - we don't want to commit this: git checkout airflow/version.py

It is important to stress that this snapshot is not intended for users.

Make sure your public key is on id.apache.org and in KEYS

You will need to sign the release artifacts with your pgp key. After you have created a key, make sure you

Voting on an RC

• Once the RC is built (both source and binary), put them in the dev SVN repository:
  https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/

• Use the dev/airflow-jira script to generate a list of Airflow JIRAs that were closed in the release.

• Send out a vote to the dev@airflow.apache.org mailing list:

  Code Block
  language text title \[VOTE\] Airflow 1.10.2rc3 collapse true
  Hey all, I have cut Airflow 1.10.2 RC3. This email is calling a vote on the release, which will last for 72 hours. Consider this my (binding) +1. Airflow 1.10.2 RC3 is available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/1.10.2rc3/ *apache-airflow-1.10.2rc3-source.tar.gz* is a source release that comes with INSTALL instructions. *apache-airflow-1.10.2rc3-bin.tar.gz* is the binary Python "sdist" release. Public keys are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/airflow/KEYS Only votes from PMC members are binding, but members of the community are encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)". Please note that the version number excludes the `rcX` string, so it's now simply 1.10.2. This will allow us to rename the artifact without modifying the artifact checksums when we actually release. Changes since 1.10.2rc2: *Bugs*: [AIRFLOW-3732] Fix issue when trying to edit connection in RBAC UI [AIRFLOW-2866] Fix missing CSRF token head when using RBAC UI (#3804) ... *Improvements*: [AIRFLOW-3302] Small CSS fixes (#4140) [Airflow-2766] Respect shared datetime across tabs ... *New features*: [AIRFLOW-2874] Enables FAB's theme support (#3719) [AIRFLOW-3336] Add new TriggerRule for 0 upstream failures (#4182) ... *Doc-only Change*: [AIRFLOW-XXX] Fix BashOperator Docstring (#4052) [AIRFLOW-3018] Fix Minor issues in Documentation ... Cheers, <your name>

  
  

• Once the vote has been passed, you will need to send a result vote to dev@airflow.apache.org:

  Code Block
  language text title \[RESULT\]\[VOTE\] Airflow 1.10.2rc3 collapse true
  Hello, Apache Airflow 1.10.2 (based on RC3) has been accepted. 4 “+1” binding votes received: - Kaxil Naik (binding) - Bolke de Bruin (binding) - Ash Berlin-Taylor (binding) - Tao Feng (binding) 4 "+1" non-binding votes received: - Deng Xiaodong (non-binding) - Stefan Seelmann (non-binding) - Joshua Patchus (non-binding) - Felix Uellendall (non-binding) Vote thread: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/736404ca3d2b2143b296d0910630b9bd0f8b56a0c54e3a05f4c8b5fe@%3Cdev.airflow.apache.org%3E I'll continue with the release process and the release announcement will follow shortly. Cheers, <your name>

  
  

Publishing release

• After both votes pass (see above), you need to migrate the RC artifacts that passed to this repository:
  https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/airflow/
  (The migration should including renaming the files so that they no longer have the RC number in their filenames.)
  
  The best way of doing this is to svn cp  between the two repos (this avoids having to upload the binaries again, and gives a clearer history in the svn commit logs):

  Code Block
  language bash theme Midnight
  # First clone the repo export RC=1.10.4rc5 export VERSION=${RC/rc?/} svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/airflow airflow-release # Create new folder for the release cd airflow-release svn mkdir ${VERSION} cd ${VERSION} # Move the artefactsartifacts to svn folder & commit for f in ../../airflow-dev/$RC/*; do svn cp $f ${$(basename $f)/rc5rc?/}; done svn commit -m "Release Airflow ${VERSION} from ${RC}"

Publishing to PyPi

• Create a ~/.pypirc file:

  Code Block
  language bash
  $ cat ~/.pypirc [distutils] index-servers = pypi pypitest [pypi] username=your-username password=********* [pypitest] repository=https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ username=your-username password=*********

  (more details here.)

  Set proper permissions for the pypirc file:

  Code Block
  language bash
  $ chmod 600 ~/.pypirc

• Confirm that airflow/version.py is set properly.

• # Remove old release # http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#when-to-archive cd .. export PREVIOUS_VERSION=1.10.1 svn rm ${PREVIOUS_VERSION} svn commit -m "Remove old release: ${PREVIOUS_VERSION}"

  
  

Publishing to PyPi

• Create a ~/.pypirc file:

  Code Block

  (more details here.)

• Set proper permissions for the pypirc file:

  Code Block
  language bash
  $ chmod 600 ~/.pypirc

  
  

• Confirm that airflow/version.py is set properly.
