SLiM 4.2.1 release process #439

Closed bhaller closed 4 months ago

bhaller commented 4 months ago

Hi all. Sadly, I now have to roll SLiM 4.2.1, because of a bug that was found. It's not common, and it usually leads to a crash (which is not so bad, in the big picture), but sometimes it leads to incorrect results (which is unacceptable). So, here we go. Sorry.

Since almost nothing has changed from 4.2, hopefully this will go smoothly and painlessly. I am not re-rolling the doc apart from the version number change, because changes were minimal and doing a full doc re-roll takes hours. The little changes that were made can be in the next release, whenever that happens.

I have tagged the repo with v4.2.1, but have not created the official Release from that tag. Stay tuned.

@bryce-carson I changed the .spec file, hopefully correctly. :->

bhaller commented 4 months ago

There was a flaw in the tagged release. I just removed the v4.2.1 tag and made a new v4.2.1 tag. The new tag's description says it is "final candidate 2", so you can tell the difference. The conda build had already completed based on the original tag; I'm not sure whether I need to redo it. (The flaw did not affect the conda build, because it was a QtSLiM issue, and conda doesn't build QtSLiM.) Does conda mind if the tag that it made a build based upon no longer exists? Anybody know? Or if somebody is a conda user, maybe they could check that v4.2.1 installs from conda smoothly, despite this switcheroo?

It looks correct to me. 😃 I submitted the build: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bacarson/SLiM-Selection_on_Linked_Mutations/build/7304470/.

I don't know about the question surrounding Conda.

I'll resubmit the build on Copr, to be sure that it is building the correct sources: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bacarson/SLiM-Selection_on_Linked_Mutations/build/7304475/

Looks like the Copr build is done on all platforms! Rolling on.

The release itself now exists (https://github.com/MesserLab/SLiM/releases/tag/v4.2.1), and it has been announced on slim-discuss and slim-announce. I'm assuming conda is fine until someone tells me otherwise. :-> Ping @grahamgower @rdinnager. I'll close this issue when all installers are updated, as usual. Thanks everybody! Sorry for the sudden surprise on Friday night! (Not ideal for me either :-O)

grahamgower commented 4 months ago

I've updated the Arch package.

I'm not 100% certain, but if the conda-forge infrastructure built a release from the initial tag then I reckon it should be fine. It doesn't look like the new tag was picked up by the automation rules, so I guess it won't be a problem.

@bhaller Okay, PR has been merged for pacman (https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/20672). Should be available to users within a day or two max.

Thanks @rdinnager! I'll keep an eye on the status. :->

In case you weren't aware of it, pending package updates for msys2 can be found here: https://packages.msys2.org/queue . As soon as slim-simulator disappears off that page that means it is finished and available in pacman.

bhaller commented 4 months ago

Looks like the pacman installer is up @rdinnager (or at least slim-simulator vanished from that page!), so this issue is done and I'll close it now. :-> Thanks everybody! Hopefully the next release won't happen for a good long time!
