Releasing

Steps

To cut a new kpt release perform the following:

• Ensure kpt is importing the latest dependent releases
  • cli-utils
  • Within kustomize: kyaml
  • Within kustomize: cmd/config
  • Update go.mod file with correct versions of cli-utils, kyaml, and cmd/config
  • Run make all (which should update go.sum and run go mod tidy)
  • Create a kpt PR with previous go.mod and go.sum changes, and submit. Example PR
• Fetch the latest master changes to a clean branch
  • git checkout -b release
  • git fetch upstream
  • git reset --hard upstream/master
• Tag the commit
  • git tag 1.0.0-(alpha|beta|rc).*
  • git push upstream 1.0.0-(alpha|beta|rc).*
• This will trigger a Github Action that will use goreleaser to make the release. The result will be a github release in the draft state and upload docker images to GCR.
  • Verify that the release looks good. If it does, publish the release through the github UI.
• Update the Homebrew release
  • go run ./release/formula/main.go v0.MINOR.0
  • git add . && git commit -m "update homebrew to v0.MINOR.0"
  • create a PR for this change and merge it
  • example PR

Artifacts

Release artifacts such as binaries and images will be built automatically by the Github Action. The binaries linked from the README.md docs will be automatically updated because they point to the latest binaries which are updated for tagged releases. Images created from the next branch will not be tagged with latest.
