How to release [developer]

Versioning

The following files need to be update for each new release:

  • HDFCompass.1file.spec
  • HDFCompass.1folder.spec
  • setup.cfg
  • setup.py
  • spec.json
  • docs/conf.py
  • hdf_compass/utils/__init__.py

  • debug=False: to avoid that the boot-loader issues progress messages while initializing and starting the bundled app
