Test Planemo Bus Factor

[jmchilton]

Have someone besides @jmchilton do a release of planemo.

Update - current plan is

• Implement release testing Release Testing #184.
• Modify make release to test release instead of reviewing testpypi.
• Modify make release to infer default versions automatically.
• Update galaxyproject's jenkins to be able to publish to PyPI.
• Add a jenkins job to release Planemo.
• Have @davebx put together release notes and do a release.

Oooh fun. I vote for jenkins 😉

Continuous Delivery ftw.

[davebx]

A wild volunteer appeared! That said, it would probably be even most ideal if several people had the ability.

[hexylena]

@davebx ooh yay a volunteer! See if you can't checklist-ify and automate https://github.com/galaxyproject/planemo/blob/master/docs/developing.rst :)

[jmchilton]

@davebx - How about you push the button but we configure jenkins with the keys.

We should I guess fully automate:

make clean && make lint && make test
make release VERSION=<old_version> NEW_VERSION=<new_version>
make push-release

There is a review step in there, it pauses and opens a web browser to Test PyPI but maybe that is not needed. Maybe the right thing is to just do an install and run some simple tests.

[jmchilton]

xref #184

If that worked we could do a release to test PyPI and not need an explicit review I think.

💯

P.S. I'm not planning on quiting or getting hit by a bus, but I realized I totally merged #327 when other people when doing just fine working on the issue - it would be better for me to step back and let the project evolve from under my heavy boot 😄.

[davebx]

@jmchilton Yes, too long has planemo languished in the iron fist of its tyrant lord. Or something.

[hexylena]

(P.S. I was actually hoping you'd sign off/sanity check that one since you wrote the vast majority of the code surrounding it/affected by it.)

[jmchilton]

Updated this issue with a checklist based on these conversations - feel free to tweak.

#184 seemed like a cool but non-essential idea at one point but now seems more and more important to being able to have automated, stable releases.

[hexylena]

@davebx how goes the release process? :)

[jmchilton]

@erasche I've decided to retain sole responsibility for releases until new checklist is complete, I'll do a release now if you wish.
