{{otherversions|HowTo: Release iHRIS Software}}

Warning: To release the software, you will need to be someplace with good bandwidth as you will be uploading a lot to launchpad.net

==Release Directory Layout==
In your home directory, create a new directory called "ihris-release" with a subdirectory "bzr" which will contain all the bzr branches we wish to include in the release
<source lang='bash'>
mkdir -p ~/ihris-release/bzr
cd ~/ihris-release/bzr
bzr checkout lp:i2ce I2CE
bzr checkout lp:ihris-common
bzr checkout lp:ihris-manage
bzr checkout lp:ihris-qualify
bzr checkout lp:textlayout
</source>

==Preparing For Release==
===Updating translations===
In your usual working branch, just before releasing, you should update all of the translation templates with the [[HowTo: Creating Translations#translate_create_templates.php | translate_create_templates.php]] script.

===Updating release branches===
The branches we are using for release should be updated:
<source lang='bash'>
cd ~/ihris-release/bzr
bzr update I2CE
bzr update ihris-common
bzr update ihris-manage
bzr update ihris-qualify
bzr update textlayout
</source>

==Running the Release Program==
We run the release.php script from the ihris-release/bzr directory.  The release script will take care of bumping minor version numbers of changed modules, "bzr tag"ging the branches with a "4.1.X-release" tag, creating tarballs and uploading the tarballs to launchpad. 
<source lang='bash'>
cd ~/ihris-release/bzr
php I2CE/tools/release.php
</source>

==Documenting the Release==
===Change Log===

The change log [[iHRIS Suite 4.1 Development]] should be updated with a list of the changes since last release.  Usually I use the "bzr log" to get all the changes since the last release for each of the products, ignore the ones about translation, and then edit them so that they are a bit more legible and try to categorize them a bit (e.g. group changes related to reporting under one bullet)

Hint: If the current release is 4.1.5, you can easily get the revisions since the last release with:
<source lang='bash'>
cd ~/ihris-release/bzr/ihris-common
bzr log --line -r tag:4.1.4-release..
</source>

===Release Announcement===
A release announcement should be drafted and sent to the core IntraHealth/CapPlus informatics team for review.
Once the release has been approved by all involved it should be posted under:
*the iHRIS Global google group
*The launchpad announcements for the various projects (i2ce, ihris-common, ihris-manage, etc) as well as the super project [https://launchpad.net/ihris-suite ihris-suite] e.g
The release announcement should follow the same template as previous announcements and include key changes since the last release.
===API Update===
The API, module list and translation list on the wiki needs to be updated.  This can be done with
<source lang='bash'>
cd ~/ihris-release/bzr
php I2CE/tools/wikidoc.php
</source>
You will be asked for your launchpad name and password.

===Wiki Forms and Maps===
The form maps need to be updated for iHRIS Manage and iHRIS Qualify.  You should make a clean installation of Manage and Qualify and generate the form map according to [[Create a Data Form Map For My Custom Site]].  These maps should be uploaded to the wiki and the link on the pages:
*[[iHRIS Manage Form Fields]]
*[[iHRIS Qualify Form Fields]]
should be updated.  But see below for more instructions.

You will also need to update the wiki page for the forms and fields.  This can be done similar to the way the map was made with:
<source lang='bash'>
 php index.php --page=/formDocumentor/wiki
</source>
The output of this is the text to upload to the wiki.  When we upload to the wiki we want to keep the other versions around.   Here is what you need to do, for example, with release 4.1.5 of iHRIS Manage.
*[[iHRIS Manage Form Fields (versions)]] Edit this page by adding a new line for the 4.1.5 release.  When you save the page, there will be a red link for the iHRIS Manage Form Fields 4.1.5 as it has not been created.  Click on this link and upload the output of the --page=/formDocumentor/wiki
*[http://www.ihris.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=IHRIS_Manage_Form_Fields&redirect=no iHRIS Manage Form Fields]  Edit this page and change it so that it redirects to the version 4.1.5 of the page

For Qualify, the pages you want are:
*[[iHRIS Qualify Form Fields (versions)]] 
*[http://www.ihris.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=IHRIS_Qualify_Form_Fields&redirect=no iHRIS Qualify Form Fields]
