Subject: EDIT Platform  <NEW-VERSION> released

Dear EDIT Platform users,

the next version of the EDIT Platform with the version number <NEW-VERSION> has been released. 

[OPTIONAL A]The release of the Taxonomic Editor will be done in a few days, meanwhile you can of course continue working with Taxonomic Editor <OLD-VERSION>.
[OPTIONAL B]This time we abstain from also releasing a new version of the Taxonomic Editor. You can of course continue working with Taxonomic Editor <OLD-VERSION>.

For an overview on the changes in this release please refer to the following page:
http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/wiki/CdmPlatformRoadmap

For [tomorrow|this evening] we are planning to install this new version of the EDIT Platform on our servers. During the necessary server maintenance you might experience some minor downtimes of some of the platform components.

Best wishes
<YOUR-NAME>

6) perform the Taxonomic Editor Release or 'Fake' Release (Not Deployment)¶

as described at TaxonomicEditorDeployment

7) deploy the release¶

edit production server (BDI-Wiki:/EDITServerSetup/edit-production)

dataportals-drush vset -y maintenance_mode 1
/opt/server-scripts/jenkins-ci/cdm-server/cdmserver-install.sh {release-version} /tmp/
# wait some minutes until the prompt returns ....
cd /var/www/drupal-7/sites/_dataportal-production
git checkout master
git pull
dataportals-updatedb
dataportals-drush cc all
dataportals-drush vset -y maintenance_mode 0

edit demo servers 1 & 2 (BDI-Wiki:/EDITServerSetup/edit-production)

On each of the servers:

vi /opt/server-scripts/workshop-setup/conf.d/instances.conf

and change the variables CDM_SERVER_VERSION and CDM_DATAPORTAL_GIT_TREEISH:

# CDM Server version
CDM_SERVER_VERSION=5.7.0
# reference to a branch or tag in the cdm-dataportal git repo
# e.g.: tags/1.0, hotfix/1.0.1
CDM_DATAPORTAL_GIT_TREEISH=tags/5.7.0

Save the changes. The setup will be refreshed automatically over night. If you need to install the server in the newly configured release version, you can run the setup script. It is recommended to run the setup scriupts in a screen session:

screen -R # reattach or new session

No inside the session, either do a full setup (recommended), since we are using screen you can close the teminal even if the setup is running. Closing the terminal or dropping the ssh connection will not cause the running script to be stopped.

 ./full-setup

or just update the cdm-server

 ../jenkins-ci/cdm-server/cdmserver-install.sh $CDM_SERVER_VERSION /tmp

8) check for post-release tickets¶

9) perform the Taxonomic Editor Deployment¶

as described at TaxonomicEditorDeployment

10) send mail to users to inform of successful release¶
