# Cutting a Deno release
-## Pre-flight checklist
-
-- [ ] An up to date stable Rust toolchain
-- [ ] A binary version of `deno` available (hopefully built from `main`) that is
- going to be available throughout any local building you might do.
-- [ ] Forks and local clones of
- [`denoland/deno`](https://github.com/denoland/deno/),
- [`denoland/deno_std`](https://github.com/denoland/deno_std/),
- [`denoland/dotland`](https://github.com/denoland/dotland/),
- [`denoland/docland`](https://github.com/denoland/docland/),
- [`denoland/deno_docker`](https://github.com/denoland/deno_docker/)
- [`denoland/manual`](https://github.com/denoland/manual/)
-- [ ] Ensure that external dependencies are up-to date in `denoland/deno` (e.g.
- `rusty_v8`, `serde_v8`, `deno_doc`, `deno_lint`).
-- [ ] Lot's of ☕
-
-**During this process `main` branch (or any other branch that you're creating
-release from) should be frozen and no commits should land until the release is
-cut.**
-
-Before starting the process write a message in company's #general channel:
-`:lock: deno and deno_std are now locked`
-
-## Updating `deno_std`
-
-1. Go to the "version_bump" workflow in the deno_std repo's actions:
- https://github.com/denoland/deno_std/actions/workflows/version_bump.yml
-
-2. Click on the "Run workflow" button.
- 1. For the kind of release, select "minor".
- 2. Run the workflow.
-
-3. A PR will be automatically created. Follow the checklist in the PR and review
- it.
-
- <details>
- <summary>❌ Failure Steps</summary>
-
- 1. Checkout the latest main.
- 2. Manually run `./_tools/release/01_bump_version.ts --minor`
- 1. Ensure the version in `version.ts` is updated correctly.
- 2. Ensure `Releases.md` is updated correctly.
- 3. Ensure all the tests pass with the latest build (examine the repo for
- what the command is and run the local built deno binary)
- 3. Open a PR with the changes and continue with the steps below.
- </details>
-
-4. Merge the PR.
-
-5. Wait for the CI run to complete which will tag the repo and create a draft
- release. Review the draft release and then publish it.
-
- <details>
- <summary>❌ Failure Steps</summary>
-
- 1. Tag the repo manually in the format `x.x.x`
- 2. Draft a new GH release by copying and pasting the release notes from
- `Releases.md`
- </details>
-
-## Updating the main repo
-
-**If you are cutting a patch release**: First you need to sync commit to the
-relevant minor branch, so if you are cutting a `v1.17.3` release you need to
-sync `v1.17` branch.
-
-To do that, you need to cherry-pick commits from the main branch to the `v1.17`
-branch. For patch releases we want to cherry-pick all commits that do not add
-features to the CLI. This generally means to filter out `feat` commits but not
-necessarily (ex. `feat(core): ...`). Check what was the last commit on `v1.17`
-branch before the previous release and start cherry-picking newer commits from
-the `main`.
-
-Once all relevant commits are cherry-picked, push the branch to the upstream and
-verify on GitHub that everything looks correct.
-
-### Phase 1: Bumping versions
-
-1. After releasing deno_std, go to the "version_bump" workflow in the CLI repo's
- actions: https://github.com/denoland/deno/actions/workflows/version_bump.yml
-
-2. Click on the "Run workflow" button.
- 1. In the drop down, select the minor branch if doing a patch release or the
- main branch if doing a minor release.
- 2. For the kind of release, select either "patch", "minor", or "major".
- 3. Run the workflow.
-
-3. Wait for the workflow to complete and for a pull request to be automatically
- opened.
-
- <details>
- <summary>❌ Failure Steps</summary>
-
- 1. Checkout the branch the release is being made on.
- 2. Manually run `./tools/release/01_bump_crate_versions.ts`
- 1. Ensure the crate versions were bumped correctly
- 2. Ensure deno_std version was updated correctly in `cli/compat/mod.rs`
- 3. Ensure `Releases.md` was updated correctly
- 3. Open a PR with the changes and continue with the steps below.
- </details>
-
-4. Review the pull request and make any necessary changes.
-
-5. Merge it.
-
-### Phase 2: Publish
-
-1. Go to the "cargo_publish" workflow in the CLI repo's actions:
- https://github.com/denoland/deno/actions/workflows/cargo_publish.yml
-
-2. Run it on the same branch that you used before and wait for it to complete.
-
- <details>
- <summary>❌ Failure Steps</summary>
-
- 1. The workflow was designed to be restartable. Try restarting it.
- 2. If that doesn't work, then do the following:
- 1. Checkout the branch the release is occurring on.
- 2. If `cargo publish` hasn't completed then run
- `./tools/release/03_publish_crates.ts`
- - Note that you will need access to crates.io so it might fail.
- 3. If `cargo publish` succeeded and a release tag wasn't created, then
- manually create and push one for the release branch with a leading `v`.
- </details>
-
-3. This CI run create a tag which triggers a second CI run that publishes the
- GitHub draft release.
-
- The CI pipeline will create a release draft on GitHub
- (https://github.com/denoland/deno/releases). Update the draft with the
- contents of `Releases.md` that you previously added.
-
-4. Upload Apple M1 build (`deno-aarch64-apple-darwin.zip`) to the release draft
- and to https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/dl.deno.land
-
- ```
- cargo build --release
- cd target/release
- zip -r deno-aarch64-apple-darwin.zip deno
- ```
-
-5. Publish the release on Github
-
-6. Run the
- https://github.com/denoland/dotland/actions/workflows/update_versions.yml
- workflow.
- - This should open a PR. Review and merge it.
-
- <details>
- <summary>❌ Failure Steps</summary>
-
- 1. Update https://github.com/denoland/dotland/blob/main/versions.json
- manually.
- 2. Open a PR and merge.
- </details>
-
-7. Push a new tag to [`manual`](https://github.com/denoland/manual). The tag
- must match the CLI tag; you don't need to create dedicated commit for that
- purpose, it's enough to tag the latest commit in that repo.
-
-8. For minor releases: make sure https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data has
- been updated to reflect Web API changes in this release. Usually done ahead
- of time by @lucacasonato.
-
-9. **If you are cutting a patch release**: a PR should have been automatically
- opened that forwards the release commit back to main. If so, merge it. If not
- and it failed, please manually create one.
-
-## Updating `doc.deno.land`
-
-This should occur after the Deno CLI is fully published, as the build script
-queries the GitHub API to determine what it needs to change and update.
-
-1. Run the update_deno workflow in the docland repo on the main branch:
- https://github.com/denoland/docland/actions/workflows/update_deno.yml
-
-2. This will open a PR. Review it and merge, which will trigger a deployment.
-
- <details>
- <summary>❌ Failure Steps</summary>
-
- 1. Checkout a new branch for docland (e.g. `git checkout -b deno_1.17.0`).
- 2. Execute `deno task build`
- 3. Commit changes and raise a PR on `denoland/docland`.
- 4. Merging the approved PR will trigger deployment to Deploy of the updates.
- </details>
-
-## Updating `deno_docker`
-
-1. Open a PR on the `deno_docker` repo that bumps the Deno version in all
- Dockerfiles, the README and the example Dockerfile
-2. Create a tag with the version number (_without_ `v` prefix).
-
-Write a message in company's #general channel:
-`:unlock: deno and deno_std are now unlocked`.
+1. Go to this workflow:
+ https://github.com/denoland/deno/actions/workflows/start_release.yml
+1. Select the kind of release, then run the workflow.
+1. In the "Run start release" step, look at the bottom of the output to get the
+ gist url.
+1. Fork the gist, and follow the instructions.
