Doing a release
===============
Doing a release of ``lemur`` requires a few steps.
Bumping the version number
--------------------------
The next step in doing a release is bumping the version number in the
software.
* Update the version number in ``lemur/__about__.py``.
* Set the release date in the :doc:`/changelog`.
* Do a commit indicating this, and raise a pull request with this.
* Wait for it to be merged.
Performing the release
----------------------
The commit that merged the version number bump is now the official release
commit for this release. You need an `API key <https://pypi.org/manage/account/#api-tokens>`_,
which requires permissions to maintain the Lemur `project <https://pypi.org/project/lemur/>`_.
``python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade twine``
``python3 -m twine upload --repository pypi dist/*``
The release should now be available on PyPI and a tag should be available in
the repository.
Verifying the release
---------------------
You should verify that ``pip install lemur`` works correctly:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> import lemur
>>> lemur.__version__
'...'
Verify that this is the version you just released.
Post-release tasks
------------------
* Update the version number to the next major (e.g. ``0.5.dev1``) in
``lemur/__about__.py`` and
* Add new :doc:`/changelog` entry with next version and note that it is under
active development
* Send a pull request with these items
* Check for any outstanding code undergoing a deprecation cycle by looking in
``lemur.utils`` for ``DeprecatedIn**`` definitions. If any exist open
a ticket to increment them for the next release.
