/pandas-release

Infrastructure for making a pandas release

Primary LanguageMakefile

Release automation for pandas.

Steps to a release

  • [ ] Manually update
    • [ ] TAG in Makefile
    • [ ] GH_USERNAME in Makefile

If running for the first time be sure to initialize repos

make init-repos

The environment.yml contains the local dependencies. You'll also need docker.

And fork pandas-feedstock and pandas-wheels to your GitHub account.

# Update repos
make update-repos

# Tag the release
make tag

# Build the doc and test images
make docker-image docker-doc

# Build the sdist
make pandas/dist/<>.tar.gz

# Final Pip and Conda tests. Do these in parallel.
# You can optionally do make doc here as well
make pip-test
make conda-test

# Push the tag. No going back now.
make push-tag

Now manually create a release https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/releases

Make sure to upload the sdist that's in pandas/dist/ as the "binary". Conda-forge uses it.

On pandas you should also now create and tag a new branch, so

git checkout -b <TAG>.x
git push upstream <TAG>.x
git checkout master
git commit --allow-empty -m "Start <NEXT_TAG>"
git tag -a v<NEXT_TAG>.dev0 -m 'DEV: Start <NEXT_TAG> cycle'
git push upstream master --follow-tags

Start the binary builds. For Mac users you may need to download the GNU version of sed before running this scripts via brew install gnu-sed

# Binaries
make conda-forge
make wheels

Open PRs for each of those.

Note that make wheels actually pushes a job to MacPython to produce wheels which we will download later.

Docs. You can cheat and re-tag / rebuild these if needed.

make doc

Once the binaries finish, you'll need to manually upload the wheels to PyPI. Assuming the job which make wheels triggered on MacPython completed successfully (you may want to double check this) you can download a copy of the wheels for Mac / Linux locally.

make download-wheels

Christoph Gohlke builds the windows wheels. Fetch from from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ and download to the same dist directory.

Upload the wheels and sdist

make upload-pypi

Finalize the docs

make upload-doc
make website

You also need to make edits to the pandas-website to appropriately display items. Ideally this could be done via make push-website as the rule exists but the intermediary steps aren't fully automated yet.

pushd pandas-website
mv latest.rst previous.rst
# Recreate latest.rst to match release notes from GH in earlier steps
# Update pre_release.json and releases.json
git commit -am "Your updates"
git push
make html
make upload

To make sure /stable and the latest minor revision point to the new release run the following from root

popd  # should bring us back to root from pandas-website
make link-stable
make link-version

Now check pandas.pydata.org and ensure the sidebar and links are correct!

goto announce.

Finalize

  • [ ] Download Christoph's wheels and upload to PyPI
  • [ ] Announce Mailing List
  • [ ] Announce Twitter

Initial Setup

# 1. Initialize Git Repositories
make init-repos


TODO:

  • Put the build-essential install in the doc docker image
  • Update conda-forge to handle RC (branch off dev, etc.)
  • Update push-tag to handle RC
  • Update .make.py to not delete stuff
  • Environment setup (conda)
  • upload doc needs to do symlinking (maybe works, just not with RC?)
  • .dev0 tag for the next release
