Release checklist
=================

#. Ensure that the commit message of any commit that changes the
   database starts with "Migrate:". Rebase if necessary.
#. If we have a commit with migrate, migrate the change to the
   devfixtures database and create new devfixtures with ::

        $ manage.py dumpdata auth.Group easydmp_auth dmpt eestore \
        --format json --indent 1 --natural-foreign --natural-primary \
        > devfixtures.json

   then commit the devfixtures, preferrably in a separate commit.
#. Rebase branches that are to be included on master, and merge them
   with ``--no-ff``. Strive to avoid octopus merges.
#. Ensure we're on the master branch.
#. Update the version number in ``src/easydmp/__init__.py`` and
   ``CHANGELOG.rst``. Everywhere else needing the version number should
   try fetching it ``from src/easydmp/__init__.py``.
#. Write something sensible in ``CHANGELOG.rst``. The summary for the
   changelog can be copied and adjusted from ::

        $ git log --format="* %B" v1.3.1..HEAD

   Full details can be had via ``git log``, so strive for readability and
   highlights in the changelog.
#. Commit the changelog and ``src/easydmp/__init__.py``.
   The commit message should be "Bump version to {version}".
#. Tag that commit with "v{version}" and add a brief summary of the
   changes as the tag message. (Thus making an annotated tag.)
#. Push the code and tag to the official repo
