HOWTO Release navitia

You should first have a proper python env:

pip install -r requirements_release.txt -U

Then for a "Normal" release (minor):

cd <path/to/repo/navitia>
# to be sure to launch the correct version of the release script
git fetch <canaltp_distant_repo_name> && git rebase <canaltp_distant_repo_name>/dev dev
python ./script_release.py minor <canaltp_distant_repo_name>

Then follow the instructions given by the script, and also:

• pay attention to the changelog, remove useless PR (small doc) and check that every important PR is there
• don't forget to make git submodule update when necessary
• check that release branch COMPILES and TESTS before pushing it!

Other releases

For a major release, same as minor, but major:

python ./script_release.py major <canaltp_distant_repo_name>

For hotfix:

python ./script_release.py hotfix <canaltp_distant_repo_name>

Then the process is less automated (but still, instructions are given):

• you have to populate the changelog
• and the TAG yourself
• also cherry-pick the commits you want to release
