Automate release cycle #11

Closed speqtr closed 5 years ago

speqtr commented 5 years ago

TODO:

configure cmake to create following packages:
- Linux: .deb and .rpm;
- macOS: .dmg (with .app bundle inside);
- Windows: NSIS installer;
integrate Travis CI with GitHub Releases for Linux and macOS packages;
integrate AppVeyor CI with GitHub Releases for Windows packages.

In ideal case repo admin should be able to push new tag to master branch and trigger the following events:

start CI builds on Travis CI and AppVeyor CI;
build apps for Linux, macOS and Windows;
run automated tests for Linux, macOS and Windows;
if all tests are green then push new release to the GitHub Releases.

@nnian please, add additional thoughts/comments 🙂

It would be great if the macOS Wallet could have qt integrated. The most users have problems to install qt via homebrew and renaming the directory. It's not very simple.

It definitely can be simplified. I can adjust build scripts so that all packages on all platforms will be self-contained and won't require any additional actions from end users.

exploshot commented 5 years ago

Yes that would be great

speqtr commented 5 years ago

OK. I'll implement those changes later this week.

The automatic release cycle for our repositories (Qwertycoin, Qwertycoin-gui and Qwertycoin-zero) would be perfect!

But the archives for the gui and zero contains a lot of .dll files as well as various language files for Windows. Can these files also be added to the NSIS?

speqtr commented 5 years ago

@nnian yes, sure, all of the files will be bundled inside single installer file, this file will install/unpack all the necessary files into a single directory on users machine during installation process. We can bundle anything we want into this installer.

UPDATE: PR for this issue will be available tomorrow. Today I'm handling some final packaging issues for Windows platform.

PR #12 is open. All further updates will be posted there.
