OME release scripts

These scripts are used during release to generate the downloads pages for each release of OME, i.e.:

• OMERO
• Bio-Formats

They are also used for each release of the following partner projects:

• FLIMFit
• u-track
• OMERO.webtagging
• OMERO.searcher
• OMERO.figure (legacy versions)
• OMERO.mtools

and some custom third-party packages:

• Ice

Prior to the downloads page generation, the artifacts for the corresponding release must have been copied to the root folder of the downloads page published at http://downloads.microscroscopy.org.

Several environment variables can be configured for the downloads page generation:

• RELEASE is the number of the upcoming release for example 4.4.7

• for the OMERO or the OMERO.searcher downloads page generation, OMERO_BUILD or BUILDNUM determines the build number of the job used to produce the release artifacts.

• for the OMERO.searcher downloads page generation, PYSLIDVERSION and RICERCAVERSION determine the version numbers of the pyslid and ricerca modules.

• for OMERO, OMERO.figure, OMERO.searcher and OMERO.webtagging, ANNOUNCEMENT_URL specifies the URL of the announcement post to be used in the downloads page.

• for OMERO, MILESTONE is the name of the Trac milestone associated with the release.

To clean the target folder, run:

make clean

To generate a downloads page, run the corresponding target (see table below), e.g.:

make omero

The output of the target will be located under the content/ subfolder and can be copied over to the release folder.

Name	Target
OMERO	omero
Bio-Formats	bf
FLIMFit	flimfit
u-track	u-track
OMERO.webtagging	webtagging
OMERO.searcher	searcher
OMERO.figure	figure
OMERO.mtools	mtools
Ice	ice

Additional environment variables are defined in the scripts but should not need to be modified:

• RSYNC_PATH and PREFIX are the root folder and the prefix of the folder containing the release artifacts.
