Deployment of new releases

Process to deploy a new release:release manually:

  • 1.Create the json files using one of the following options:

    • 1.1. yaml templates - this option needs to use yaml2json converter to generate json file
    • 1.2. json templates - use the json SW/templates/distribution.template.json or product.template.json
    1. Prepare distribution and product
    • a) If it's a product from a new distribution we need to add the distribution first:
      • add-new-distribution using the templates in SW/templates/distribution.template.json
        • Install/Copy the template into json_dir/distributions/distribution-name-version.json
      • add new product to the distribution file json_dir/distributions/distribution-name-version.json products array
        (example of a json product item to add to the products array)
          { "name" : "emi.apel", "display" : "APEL publisher",   "version" : "3.2.7", "apicallback" : "/static/SW/APEL publisher3.2.7.json",   "target" :   [   {   "platform" : "sl5",   "arch" : "x86_64",   "repositoryURL" : "sw/production/umd/1/sl5/x86_64/base"   }   ]   }
        
    • b) If it's a product from an existing distribution we need to:
      • add "productname.json" full data || "name"=name+version + capabilities=[] to the distribution file
        • json_dir/distributions/distribution-name-version.json
      • add product to the catalog
        • json_dir/software-catalog.json
      • Finally add product.json to the respective directory and create the release.json manually
        • json_dir/products/distribution-name/distribution-version/
        • and add the same product file to the root of the json_dir/ with the name release.json
