<p>This document contains information about successfully releasing LLVM —
|
|
including subprojects: e.g., <tt>clang</tt> and <tt>dragonegg</tt> — to
|
|
the public. It is the Release Manager's responsibility to ensure that a high
|
|
quality build of LLVM is released.</p>
|
|
|
|

<h2><a name="process">Release Timeline</a></h2>
|
|
<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
|
|
<div>
|
|
|
|
<p>LLVM is released on a time based schedule — roughly every 6 months. We
|
|
do not normally have dot releases because of the nature of LLVM's incremental
|
|
development philosophy. That said, the only thing preventing dot releases for
|
|
critical bug fixes from happening is a lack of resources — testers,
|
|
machines, time, etc. And, because of the high quality we desire for LLVM
|
|
releases, we cannot allow for a truncated form of release qualification.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The release process is roughly as follows:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>Set code freeze and branch creation date for 6 months after last code
|
|
freeze date. Announce release schedule to the LLVM community and update
|
|
the website.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Create release branch and begin release process.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Send out release candidate sources for first round of testing. Testing
|
|
lasts 7-10 days. During the first round of testing, any regressions found
|
|
should be fixed. Patches are merged from mainline into the release
|
|
branch. Also, all features need to be completed during this time. Any
|
|
features not completed at the end of the first round of testing will be
|
|
removed or disabled for the release.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Generate and send out the second release candidate sources. Only
|
|
<em>critial</em> bugs found during this testing phase will be fixed. Any
|
|
bugs introduced by merged patches will be fixed. If so a third round of
|
|
testing is needed.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>The release notes are updated.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Finally, release!</p></li>
|
|
</ul>

|
<p>This section describes a few administrative tasks that need to be done for
|
|
the release process to begin. Specifically, it involves:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Creating the release branch,</li>
|
|
<li>Setting version numbers, and</li>
|
|
<li>Tagging release candidates for the release team to begin testing</li>
|
|
</ul>
|

|
<h4><a name="branch">Create Release Branch</a></h4>
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Branch the Subversion trunk using the following procedure:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>Remind developers that the release branching is imminent and to refrain
|
|
from committing patches that might break the build. E.g., new features,
|
|
large patches for works in progress, an overhaul of the type system, an
|
|
exciting new TableGen feature, etc.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Verify that the current Subversion trunk is in decent shape by
|
|
examining nightly tester and buildbot results.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Create the release branch for <tt>llvm</tt>, <tt>clang</tt>,
|
|
the <tt>test-suite</tt>, and <tt>dragonegg</tt> from the last known good
|
|
revision. The branch's name is <tt>release_<i>XY</i></tt>,
|
|
where <tt>X</tt> is the major and <tt>Y</tt> the minor release
|
|
numbers. The branches should be created using the following commands:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">

$ svn copy https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk \

</div></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Advise developers that they may now check their patches into the
|
|
Subversion tree again.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>The Release Manager should switch to the release branch, because all
|
|
changes to the release will now be done in the branch. The easiest way to
|
|
do this is to grab a working copy using the following commands:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">

<h4><a name="verchanges">Update LLVM Version</a></h4>
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
|
|
<p>After creating the LLVM release branch, update the release branches'
|
|
<tt>autoconf</tt> and <tt>configure.ac</tt> versions from '<tt>X.Ysvn</tt>'
|
|
to '<tt>X.Y</tt>'. Update it on mainline as well to be the next version
|
|
('<tt>X.Y+1svn</tt>'). Regenerate the configure scripts for both
|
|
<tt>llvm</tt> and the <tt>test-suite</tt>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition, the version numbers of all the Bugzilla components must be
|
|
updated for the next release.</p>

<h4><a name="dist">Build the LLVM Release Candidates</a></h4>

<div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Create release candidates for <tt>llvm</tt>, <tt>clang</tt>,
|
|
<tt>dragonegg</tt>, and the LLVM <tt>test-suite</tt> by tagging the branch
|
|
with the respective release candidate number. For instance, to
|
|
create <b>Release Candidate 1</b> you would issue the following commands:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
$ svn mkdir https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/tags/RELEASE_<i>XY</i>
|
|
$ svn copy https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/branches/release_<i>XY</i> \
|
|
https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/tags/RELEASE_<i>XY</i>/rc1
|
|
|
|
$ svn mkdir https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/tags/RELEASE_<i>XY</i>
|
|
$ svn copy https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/branches/release_<i>XY</i> \
|
|
https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/tags/RELEASE_<i>XY</i>/rc1
|
|
|
|
$ svn mkdir https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/dragonegg/tags/RELEASE_<i>XY</i>
|
|
$ svn copy https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/dragonegg/branches/release_<i>XY</i> \
|
|
https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/dragonegg/tags/RELEASE_<i>XY</i>/rc1
|
|
|
|
$ svn mkdir https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/test-suite/tags/RELEASE_<i>XY</i>
|
|
$ svn copy https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/test-suite/branches/release_<i>XY</i> \
|
|
https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/test-suite/tags/RELEASE_<i>XY</i>/rc1
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Similarly, <b>Release Candidate 2</b> would be named <tt>RC2</tt> and so
|
|
on. This keeps a permanent copy of the release candidate around for people to
|
|
export and build as they wish. The final released sources will be tagged in
|
|
the <tt>RELEASE_<i>XY</i></tt> directory as <tt>Final</tt>
|
|
(c.f. <a href="#tag">Tag the LLVM Final Release</a>).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Release Manager may supply pre-packaged source tarballs for users. This
|
|
can be done with the following commands:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
$ svn export https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/tags/RELEASE_<i>XY</i>/rc1 llvm-<i>X.Y</i>rc1

|
|
|

<h3><a name="commTest">Community Testing</a></h3>
|
|
<div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once all testing has been completed and appropriate bugs filed, the release
|
|
candidate tarballs are put on the website and the LLVM community is
|
|
notified. Ask that all LLVM developers test the release in 2 ways:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Download <tt>llvm-<i>X.Y</i></tt>, <tt>llvm-test-<i>X.Y</i></tt>, and the
|
|
appropriate <tt>clang</tt> binary. Build LLVM. Run <tt>make check</tt> and
|
|
the full LLVM test suite (<tt>make TEST=nightly report</tt>).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Download <tt>llvm-<i>X.Y</i></tt>, <tt>llvm-test-<i>X.Y</i></tt>, and the
|
|
<tt>clang</tt> sources. Compile everything. Run <tt>make check</tt> and
|
|
the full LLVM test suite (<tt>make TEST=nightly report</tt>).</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Ask LLVM developers to submit the test suite report and <tt>make check</tt>
|
|
results to the list. Verify that there are no regressions from the previous
|
|
release. The results are not used to qualify a release, but to spot other
|
|
potential problems. For unsupported targets, verify that <tt>make check</tt>
|
|
is at least clean.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>During the first round of testing, all regressions must be fixed before the
|
|
second release candidate is tagged.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If this is the second round of testing, the testing is only to ensure that
|
|
bug fixes previously merged in have not created new major problems. <i>This
|
|
is not the time to solve additional and unrelated bugs!</i> If no patches are
|
|
merged in, the release is determined to be ready and the release manager may
|
|

|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Below are the rules regarding patching the release branch:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>Patches applied to the release branch may only be applied by the
|
|
release manager.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>During the first round of testing, patches that fix regressions or that
|
|
are small and relatively risk free (verified by the appropriate code
|
|
owner) are applied to the branch. Code owners are asked to be very
|
|
conservative in approving patches for the branch. We reserve the right to
|
|
reject any patch that does not fix a regression as previously
|
|
defined.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>During the remaining rounds of testing, only patches that fix critical
|
|
regressions may be applied.</p></li>

<h3><a name="release-final">Release Final Tasks</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The final stages of the release process involves tagging the "final" release
|
|
branch, updating documentation that refers to the release, and updating the
|
|
demo page.</p>
|
|
|
|
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
|
|
<h4><a name="updocs">Update Documentation</a></h4>
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Review the documentation and ensure that it is up to date. The "Release
|
|
Notes" must be updated to reflect new features, bug fixes, new known issues,
|
|
and changes in the list of supported platforms. The "Getting Started Guide"
|
|
should be updated to reflect the new release version number tag avaiable from
|
|
Subversion and changes in basic system requirements. Merge both changes from
|
|
mainline into the release branch.</p>
