tc-prepare-release: TorchCraft Release Helper

Bump version of TorchCraft automagically.

There are two tools, tc-bumper and tc-make-release.

• tc-bumper

  1. creates a new_release branch (trying very hard);
  2. replaces the version in certain files such as $TORHCRAFT_PATH/CMakeLists.txt and $TORCHCRAFT_PATH/quick_setup.sh;
  3. commits changes and pushes the new branch to whatever remote is assigned to origin in $TORCHCRAFT_PATH.

• tc-make-release

  1. copies the release files in the correct order / tree structure;
  2. zips everything up into one binary that you can upload on GitHub.

WARNING: like with all automatic tools, if you are not careful you might lose work. You probably want to use this only if you are core developer.

Installation

• Install python 2 or python 3;
• $ git clone git@github.com:TorchCraft/tc-prepare-release.

Usage

• Set the git head in $TORCHCRAFT_PATH to develop.

• Create release:

$ cd tc-prepare-release

# First off, visualise the options in case there's anything you need.

$ python tc-bumper -h

# Now you can happily run the tool.
# With these flags it automatically makes a backup of the directory and 
# stashes any dirt.

$ python tc-bumper $OLD_VERSION $NEW_VERSION $TORHCRAFT_PATH -b -s

# e.g.
# python tc-bumper 1.2-1 1.3-1 ../TorchCraft -b -s

• Create zip:
  • Compile solution on Windows and copy BWEnv.exe and BWEnv.dll to tc-bumper/out/;
  • Run python tc-make-release.py $NEW_VERSION $TORCHCRAFT_PATH.
