CiviCRM (Any Version): Prerequisites

Step by Step

  • Install+configure Google Cloud SDK. (Run gcloud init, gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file ..., or similar.)
  • Write access to all main CiviCRM GitHub repos (civicrm-{core,packages,backdrop,drupal,joomla,wordpress})
  • Write access to Google Cloud Storage (civicrm and civicrm-build buckets)
  • Write access to SourceForge account (civicrm) as well as an sf.net API key
  • Admin access to CiviCRM Jenkins (https://test.civicrm.org)
  • Import the CiviCRM GPG keypair (7A1E75CB)
  • Local copy of buildkit
  • Local clones of all main CiviCRM git repos. Here are a few ways to create them:
    • Create a dist project (civibuild create dist) and use build/dist/src/
    • Create an empty folder and run gitify (eg mkdir ~/src/master; cd ~/src/master; gitify all --skip-gencode)

Living Environment

The host latest.civicrm.org has a user releaser with a generally suitable environment in ~/src/master (although you will need to retrieve keys from an external credential store).

To start a session, login to that account and run:

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

You should generally use tmux for the session. This mitigates the risk that SSH interruptions will leave the release process with an inconsistent state.
