Overview

This document describes release workflow on TT-WISMD projects and deliverables

Requirements

The following are required to build and validate the content.

• asciidoctor
• asciidoc-link-check

Versioning

WCMP versioning implements the semver approach.

New Release

When a new release of WCMP is ready, perform the following steps:

• if the release is a PATCH release (i.e. 1.3.1, 1.3.2, etc.), then branch off the STABLE branch (i.e. 1.3)
  • git checkout 1.3 && git checkout -b new-release-x.y.z
• if the release is a MINOR or MAJOR release (i.e. 1.4.0, 2.0.0, etc.), then branch off the MASTER branch
  • git checkout master && git checkout -b new-release-x.y.z

WCMP document

Final steps

• commit changes accordingly (git commit -m 'update to release version x.y.z' && git push origin new-release-x.y.z)
• open a GitHub pull request for review/comment/merge by @wmo-im/tt-wismd
• create a release tag (git tag -a x.y.z -m 'tagging release x.y.z' && git push --tags)
• the release is now tagged at https://github.com/wmo-im/wcmp/archive/x.y.z.zip
• Send outputs to WMO via email
  • wcmp-kpi-x.y.z.pdf

Branching

• if the release is a minor or major release, then create a STABLE branch:
