How do we release and build packages

There are more ways possible but I prefer this one.

Build new gem version

First we have to bump the version in lib/kafo/version.rb. We should try to follow semantic versioning. Then we push this to master branch under theforeman. Then we build a gem and upload it to rubygems.org by executing

rake release

You have to be among owners of this gem. Ask on #theforeman-dev on freenode if you want to become one.

Build RPM

Now we update rubygem-kafo.spec in foreman-packaging.

Follow the repository instructions to update the package by changing the version in the spec and updating the source file. Open a pull request against rpm/develop to submit the change and create a test build.

Build DEB

Create a pull-request on theforeman/foreman-packaging repository against deb/develop branch.

Follow the repository instructions to run a script to bump the version number automatically. Opening a pull request will automatically attempt a test build.

Take a rest

Since that's all.
