# How to create RC1
|
|
|
|
The RC1 release comes with the task to update the installation and upgrade docs. Be mindful that there might already be merge requests for this on GitLab or GitHub.
|
|
|
|
### 1. Update the installation guide
|
|
|
|
1. Check if it references the correct branch `x-x-stable` (doesn't exist yet, but that is okay)
|
|
1. Check the [GitLab Shell version](/lib/tasks/gitlab/check.rake#L782)
|
|
1. Check the [Git version](/lib/tasks/gitlab/check.rake#L794)
|
|
1. There might be other changes. Ask around.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Create update guides
|
|
|
|
[Follow this guide](howto_update_guides.md) to create update guides.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Code quality indicators
|
|
|
|
Make sure the code quality indicators are green / good.
|
|
|
|
- [](http://ci.gitlab.org/projects/1?ref=master) on ci.gitlab.org (master branch)
|
|
|
|
- [](https://semaphoreapp.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq) (master branch)
|
|
|
|
- [](https://codeclimate.com/github/gitlabhq/gitlabhq)
|
|
|
|
- [](https://gemnasium.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq) this button can be yellow (small updates are available) but must not be red (a security fix or an important update is available)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 4. Run release tool for CE and EE
|
|
|
|
**Make sure EE `master` has latest changes from CE `master`**
|
|
|
|
Get release tools
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone git@dev.gitlab.org:gitlab/release-tools.git
|
|
cd release-tools
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Release candidate creates stable branch from master.
|
|
So we need to sync master branch between all CE remotes. Also do same for EE.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
bundle exec rake sync
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create release candidate and stable branch:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
bundle exec rake release["x.x.0.rc1"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now developers can use master for merging new features.
|
|
So you should use stable branch for future code changes related to release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 5. Release GitLab CI RC1
|
|
|
|
Add to your local `gitlab-ci/.git/config`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[remote "public"]
|
|
url = none
|
|
pushurl = git@dev.gitlab.org:gitlab/gitlab-ci.git
|
|
pushurl = git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/gitlab-ci.git
|
|
pushurl = git@github.com:gitlabhq/gitlab-ci.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Create a stable branch `x-y-stable`
|
|
* Bump VERSION to `x.y.0.rc1`
|
|
* `git tag -a v$(cat VERSION) -m "Version $(cat VERSION)"`
|
|
* `git push public x-y-stable v$(cat VERSION)`
|
|
|
