| 1 | = Software Release Control for Trac = |
| 2 | |
| 3 | == Description == |
| 4 | |
| 5 | At work I have to create a document called ''Release Notes'' for every new software version I intend to send to Production. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | This document has the following objectives: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | 1. tell the Business Guys what this new release is (in a way they could understand ;) |
| 10 | 1. tell the Environment Guys how to install the release in our various different environments; |
| 11 | 1. collect the ''ok'' from those Business Guy: they should test the release and then approve it. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Well, this document is a lot repetitive: actually it consists of a small introduction explaining what the release is meant to, a list with the Trac tickets included in it, the technical steps for installation and then the signatures. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | So I decided to spend some time in my weekend to automate the process: instead of ugly and slow {{{.doc}}} documents, it will be a new Trac plugin where you fill the version, the Release description and the user names of those people who should approve it. |
