Overview

The purpose of this project is to bring together the automation scripts for the puppet-agent release.

Initialize a new release environment

To begin a new release:

1. Clone this project (If already cloned, fetch the latest version (eg. git pull) and run the cleanup script: ruby bin/cleanup.rb)
2. Make sure you have the correct version of ruby installed (2.6.1)
3. Make sure bundler is installed
4. cd <path/to/project>
5. run bundle install
6. run ruby bin/initialize <source_branch>

What this does:

1. Creates a new directory within this project called new_release
2. Clones puppet-agent and all of its dependencies in that directory

Components diff

What it does:

1. Outputs all the new commits for each component since the last release
2. Outputs the latest tag, suggested version and current version (from the version file) for each promoted component

To run the script:

1. ruby bin/components_diff.rb <source_branch> <release_type> (please note that the source_branch is master and release_type is z by default)
