Project-release-process.md

This article documents the standard release process for projects that make up Rancher. Once you release a project, you'll need to reference the new release in another project. Where it is referenced can vary project-to-project.

To release one of Rancher projects, do the following:

1. Clone a fresh copy of the project

• Example: git clone git@github.com:rancherio/python-agent.git

2. Tag the release:

• Example: git tag v0.16.0

3. Build the project's artifacts. If you have build-tools/bin on your PATH, it's a one-linerL

• Example: release

4. Push the tag to github:

• Example: git push origin v0.16.0

5. Go to the project's Release page in GitHub.

• Example: https://github.com/rancherio/python-agent/releases

6. Edit the newly created release and upload the artifact (typically a tar.gz) to the release
7. Update Rancher's reference to the newly created release.

• Python-agent example: cattle/resources/content/cattle-global.properties
• Go-machine-service example: rancher/server/Dockerfile
