This file contains instructions how to publish a Qbs release into various package systems.
Release packages are built automatically by the Build release packages job on GitHub actions. The job builds every commit, so you'll need to find a specific run triggered by pushing a git tag instead of a commit.
The only interesting artifact is qbs-release-v1.x.y - it contains Windows binary packages as well as source packages.
Packages should then be uploaded to the Qt Website.
For updating Qbs in Chocolatey, you'll need to be a maintainer of the Qbs project. You'll also will need an API key from your account (make sure you have one).
Get the qbs.1.x.y.nupkg file from the qbs-release-v1.x.y.zip archive and run the following command:
choco push --api-key <YOUR_API_KEY> qbs.1.x.y.nupkg"
Choco will upload the file, download binary packages from the Qt Website and publish Qbs automatically.
First, you'll need to install Homewbrew.
Second, you'll need to fork the homebrew-core repo to you GitHub account.
Next you'll need to add your remote to the existing repo:
$ brew update
$ cd "$(brew --repository homebrew/core)"
$ git remote add github [email protected]:<USERNAME>/homebrew-core.git
# Create a new git branch for your formula so your pull request is easy to
# modify if any changes come up during review.
$ git checkout -b <some-descriptive-name> origin/master
You'll need a SHA-256 sum for the qbs-src-1.x.y.tar.gz source package. SHA-256 sum can be found in the sha256sums.txt file from the qbs-release-v1.x.y.zip.
Check if the same upgrade has been already submitted by searching the open pull requests for Qbs.
Run the following command, replacing the version and SHA-256 sum:
$ brew bump-formula-pr --strict qbs \
--url https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qbs/1.x.y/qbs-src-1.x.y.tar.gz \
--sha256=<SHA-256>
The above can also be done manually by editing the formula source code and creating a pull request.
Some useful commands to build/test formula locally:
$ brew install --build-from-source qbs
$ brew test qbs
$ brew audit --strict qbs
Fork macports-ports to your GitHub account and clone the repo.
Run the following command in the repo dir (must be done only once):
$ sudo /opt/local/bin/portindex
Make sure that /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf contains a line like file:///Users/abbapoh/dev/macports-ports [default] pointing to your local repo.
Get the qbs-src-1.x.y.tar.gz source package from the archive or from the Qt Website and make note of the file size:
$ ls -l qbs-src-1.x.y.tar.gz
Get checksums:
$ openssl sha256 qbs-src-1.x.y.tar.gz
$ openssl rmd160 qbs-src-1.x.y.tar.gz
Update the devel/qbs/Portfile file with the new url, filesize and checksums.
Build the package:
$ /opt/local/bin/port lint qbs
$ sudo /opt/local/bin/port -vst install qbs
$ /opt/local/bin/qbs --version # Check that this reports the right version
