Ceph » Stable releases

Prepare the repository¶

Before publishing vX.Y.Z, the following files must be updated manually and committed to the corresponding stable branch:

• configure.ac
• debian/changelog

Obtain the private key to sign the packages¶

The private key used to sign the packages must be placed in ~/.ceph-workbench/gpg. If there is no key, a new one will be created, which is convenient for testing but not for publishing. Someone consuming packages from a repository will expect all the packages it contains to be signed by the same key for verification purposes.

Create the packages¶

For a given branch, the Ceph version packages, signed and placed into usable repositories for a given set of operating systems with:

ceph-workbench --verbose release \
   --version *version* \
   --suite' 'buildpackages/any \
   --ceph *branch* \
   --ceph-git-url http://github.com/ceph/ceph \
   --filter *operating systems*

For instance:

ceph-workbench --verbose release \
   --version 10.0.3 \
   --suite' 'buildpackages/any \
   --ceph jewel \
   --ceph-git-url http://github.com/ceph/ceph \
   --filter 'ubuntu_14.04,centos_7.2'

will create packages for the 10.0.3 Ceph version from the jewel branch found in the http://github.com/ceph/ceph repository and place them in repositories for the Ubuntu 14.04 and CentOS 7.2 operating systems.
