Add Github issue template for new releases and update release tooling #1594

hoffie · 2021-05-01T19:29:04Z

This PR adds the release checklist as an issue template so that we can easily create new Issues based on that.

The checklist is a slightly improved version of what we had for 3.7.0.

I'm still planning to perform some updates and possibly add a template for translations as well. I'm therefore setting this to Draft status right now. Feel free to provide feedback regarding the existing content or the process itself though.

BTW turning off comments for release announcements is a learning from SourceForge, as such announcements would sometimes turn into mini-forum of random tech support requests, complaints, "thanks" and other things that should have been opened as separate discussions.

For the release, yes. Not for nightlies, betas and candidates, though - it's better to keep the discussions on the same thread as the announcement for those, really. You don't want the forum overrun with odd posts that may relate to an out of date RC being followed up a week later with a "So what's been done about it?" because no one spotted it - or because the raiser didn't see that it had been fixed in the new RC, etc.

Until other documentation changes intervene, we need a step here to check ./Jamulus -h output against the en-Command-Line-Options.md wiki page.

Good idea. Added that after code freeze and before starting translations.

hoffie · 2021-05-03T21:48:10Z

I have updated the checklist in several places, especially around translations. I have also added automation for creating the translation tickets as part of this PR.

hoffie · 2021-05-04T20:30:13Z

Updated again. The script for generating the issues can now handle website translations as well.

pljones · 2021-05-28T07:49:56Z

Does it also make sense to run this before pinging translators?

I'd say so -- in case the wording has to change as part of fixing the link.

The app version is already clearer... This needs to make it clear that local fork's master needs updating from jamulussoftware/jamuluswebsite master, then the local ${TRANSLATE_BRANCH} branch updated, and then work started on a branch from the ${TRANSLATE_BRANCH} branch. If I've understood the process right...

There is no master in the website repo (release would be the most similar branch). However, ${TRANSLATE_BRANCH} is the only branch which translators should have to care about (well, 3.8.0 was different for $REASONS...). This branch is a one-time branch (e.g. translate3_8_0), so there should be no need to update/rebase.
As the process is supposed to be reworked regarding tooling (po4a) and branching, I'd like to keep it like this for now.

(cc @ignotus666 @ann0see @gilgongo)

OK, if it's all going to change, no problem. (However, make whatever's written clear enough that a first time translator will be able to read it and know what steps to follow.)

@jamulussoftware/maindevelopers shouldn‘t this be Part of 3.8.1 too (at least the scripts)?

pljones · 2021-09-07T16:18:02Z

@jamulussoftware/maindevelopers shouldn‘t this be Part of 3.8.1 too (at least the scripts)?

is it what we're following for 3.8.1?
if not, why not? (i.e. what needs to change in what we're doing or what needs changing in this?)
if so, yes and merge it.

I've uploaded the issue template on the website, so this should be removed. Everything else should be ok?
