| === Bump the <code>stable_version</code> on mahara.org===
| |
| This is done via the <code>htdocs/admin/cli/create_version.php</code> script which is controlled by cron and will update once a day.
| |
|
| |
| If you can't wait for the cron you can log into the server and run the CLI script manually:
| |
| sudo -u www-data php create_version.php
| |
| Note: Deploying the change to testing site will not show change - only deploy to production will

| |
| *[[demo.mahara.org]], including prep site and change the version number and release date on the homepage and dashboard page (via Admin menu -> Configure site -> Static pages)

| |
| ===(Major release) Generate the git stats===
| |
| The git contributor stats go in the release announcement on the Mahara News forum.
| |
|
| |
| #Clone our version of <code>gitdm</code> from the [https://git.mahara.org/scripts/mahara-scripts mahara-scripts repo]: <code>git clone [email protected]:scripts/mahara-scripts.git</code> | |
| #Get the name of the current release branch, e.g. <code>21.10_DEV</code>
| |
| #Get the previous branch's first release tag, e.g. <code>21.04.0_RELEASE</code>
| |
|
| |
| Generate the stats:
| |
|
| |
| #<code>cd ~/path/to/mahara.git (your local mahara repo)</code>
| |
| #<code>git log -p -M --no-merges 21.04.0_RELEASE..21.10_DEV > ~/mahara.log</code>
| |
| #<code>cd ~/code/mahara-scripts/gitdm/</code>
| |
| #<code>cat ~/mahara.log | ./gitdm -c mahara.config -u -s -z -o results -h results.html</code>
| |
|
| |
| Check the results file:
| |
|
| |
| *Ensure that developers are only listed once (otherwise add them to the <code>mahara.aliases</code> file).
| |
| *Make sure that there is no "(unknown)" company by making sure that all of the necessary mappings are in <code>mahara.domain-map</code>.
| |
| *If there are "(unknown)" company results, look through the generated text file "<code>database.dump</code>" to locate the unmapped individuals/emails.
