Release Instructions

This file contains instructions how to publish a Qbs release into various package systems.

Building packages

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.

Chocolatey

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.

Homebrew

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 git@github.com:<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

Mac Ports

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
