Releasing pytest-xdist
======================
This document describes the steps to make a new ``pytest-xdist`` release.
Version
-------
``master`` should always be green and a potential release candidate. ``pytest-xdist`` follows
semantic versioning, so given that the current version is ``X.Y.Z``, to find the next version number
one needs to look at the ``changelog`` folder:
- If there is any file named ``*.feature``, then we must make a new **minor** release: next
release will be ``X.Y+1.0``.
- Otherwise it is just a **bug fix** release: ``X.Y.Z+1``.
Steps
-----
To publish a new release ``X.Y.Z``, the steps are as follows:
#. Create a new branch named ``release-X.Y.Z`` from the latest ``master``.
#. Install ``tox`` in a virtualenv::
$ pip install tox
#. Update the necessary files with::
$ tox -e release -- X.Y.Z
#. Commit and push the branch for review.
#. Once PR is **green** and **approved**, create and push a tag::
$ export VERSION=X.Y.Z
$ git tag v$VERSION release-$VERSION
$ git push git@github.com:pytest-dev/pytest-xdist.git v$VERSION
That will build the package and publish it on ``PyPI`` automatically.
