# Dolibarr Makepack How To

This documentation describe steps to build a BETA or RELEASE versions of Dolibarr.
There is a chapter for BETA version and a chapter for a RELEASE version.


## Prerequisites

### On Linux

Prerequisites to build the tgz, debian and rpm packages:

`apt-get install perl tar dpkg dpatch p7zip-full rpm zip php-cli`

Prerequisites to build autoexe DoliWamp package from Linux (solution seems broken since Ubuntu 20.04+):

`apt-get install wine q4wine`

- Launch "wine cmd" to check a drive Z: pointing to / exists.

- Install InnoSetup (For example by running isetup-5.5.8.exe from https://www.jrsoftware.org or https://files.jrsoftware.org/is/5/)

- Install WampServer into "C:\wamp64" to have Apache, PHP and MariaDB (For example by running wampserver3.2.6_x64.exe from https://www.wampserver.com, see file dev/build/exe/doliwamp.iss to know the version of Wampserver to install).

- Add path to ISCC.exe into the PATH windows var (You can do this by launching wine cmd, then regedit and add entry int `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\PATH`)

- To manually build the .exe from Windows (Note: running from makepack-dolibarr.pl script is however recommended):

  Open the file dev/build/exe/doliwamp.iss and click on button "Compile".
  The .exe file will be build into directory build.


### On Windows

Prerequisites to build autoexe DoliWamp package from Windows:

- Install Perl for Windows (https://strawberryperl.com/)
- Install isetup-5.5.8.exe (https://www.jrsoftware.org)
- Install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)
- Install WampServer-3.2.6-64.exe (Apache 2.4.51, PHP 7.4.26, MariaDB 10.6.5 for example. Version must match the values found into doliwamp.iss)
- Install GIT for Windows (https://git-scm.com/ => You must choose option "Add Git bash profile", "Git commit as-is")
- Install Dolibarr current version:
  `git clone https://github.com/dolibarr/dolibarr  or  git clone --branch X.Y https://github.com/dolibarr/dolibarr`

- Add the path of PHP (C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.4.26) and InnoSetup (C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 5) into the %PATH% of Windows.

- Create a config file `c:\dolibarr\dolibarr\htdocs\conf\conf.php` with content

```
  <?php
  $dolibarr_main_document_root="c:\dolibarr\dolibarr\htdocs";
  $dolibarr_main_url_root='http://localhost';
```


## Actions to do a BETA

This section describes steps made by Dolibarr packaging team to make a beta version of Dolibarr, step by step.

- Check that all files on local working repository are committed.

- Update version/info in ChangeLog, for this you can:

To generate a changelog of a **major new version** x.y.0 (from a repo on branch develop), you can do

```
cd ~/git/dolibarr
git log `diff -u <(git rev-list --first-parent x.(y-1).0)  <(git rev-list --first-parent develop) | sed -ne 's/^ //p' | head -1`.. --no-merges --pretty=short --oneline | sed -e "s/^[0-9a-z]* //" | grep -e '^FIX\|NEW' | sort -u | sed 's/FIXED:/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIXED :/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIX :/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIX /FIX: /g' | sed 's/NEW :/NEW:/g' | sed 's/NEW /NEW: /g' > /tmp/changelogtocopy
```

To generate a changelog of a **intermediate new version** x.y.0 (from a repo on branch x.y), you can do

```
cd ~/git/dolibarr_x.y
git log `diff -u <(git rev-list --first-parent x.(y-1).0)  <(git rev-list --first-parent x.y.0) | sed -ne 's/^ //p' | head -1`.. --no-merges --pretty=short --oneline | sed -e "s/^[0-9a-z]* //" | grep -e '^FIX\|NEW' | sort -u | sed 's/FIXED:/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIXED :/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIX :/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIX /FIX: /g' | sed 's/NEW :/NEW:/g' | sed 's/NEW /NEW: /g' > /tmp/changelogtocopy
```

To generate a changelog of a **maintenance version** x.y.z, you can do

```
cd ~/git/dolibarr_x.y
git log x.y.z-1.. --no-merges --pretty=short --oneline | sed -e "s/^[0-9a-z]* //" | grep -e '^FIX\|NEW' | sort -u | sed 's/FIXED:/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIXED :/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIX :/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIX /FIX: /g' | sed 's/NEW :/NEW:/g' | sed 's/NEW /NEW: /g' > /tmp/changelogtocopy
```

- Recopy the content of the output file into the file ChangeLog.
  
  Note: To know number of lines changes: git diff --shortstat A B
  
- Update version number with x.y.z-w in file htdocs/filefunc.inc.php

- Commit all changes.

- Run `makepack-dolibarr.pl` to check the generation of all packages. No need to publish them.

- Post a news message on dolibarr.org about the freeze by cloning a past news + relay the news url on social networks. Include the content of the previously generated ChangeLog file into the news.

- Create a branch x.y (but only when version seems stable enough).


## Actions to do a RELEASE

### On Linux

This files describe steps made by Dolibarr packaging team to make a complete release of Dolibarr, step by step.
We suppose the branch x.y has already been created during the beta (see previous step) and we want to release a version x.y.z (with z >= 0)

- Check there is no pending issue with flag "Priority High/Blocking". List can be found here: https://github.com/Dolibarr/dolibarr/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22Priority%20-%20High%20%2F%20Blocking%22

- Check there is no pending open security issue: List can be found here: https://github.com/Dolibarr/dolibarr/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22Priority%20-%20Critical%20or%20Security%22

- Check that all files on local working repository are committed.

- Update version/info in ChangeLog, for this:

To generate a changelog of a **major new version** x.0.0 (from a repo on branch develop), you can do

```
cd ~/git/dolibarr
git log `diff -u <(git rev-list --first-parent x.(y-1).0)  <(git rev-list --first-parent develop) | sed -ne 's/^ //p' | head -1`.. --no-merges --pretty=short --oneline | sed -e "s/^[0-9a-z]* //" | grep -e '^FIX\|NEW' | sort -u | sed 's/FIXED:/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIXED :/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIX :/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIX /FIX: /g' | sed 's/NEW :/NEW:/g' | sed 's/NEW /NEW: /g' > /tmp/changelogtocopy
```

To generate a changelog of a **intermediate new version** x.y.0 (from a repo on branch x.y), you can do

```
cd ~/git/dolibarr_x.y
git log `diff -u <(git rev-list --first-parent x.(y-1).0)  <(git rev-list --first-parent x.y.0) | sed -ne 's/^ //p' | head -1`.. --no-merges --pretty=short --oneline | sed -e "s/^[0-9a-z]* //" | grep -e '^FIX\|NEW' | sort -u | sed 's/FIXED:/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIXED :/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIX :/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIX /FIX: /g' | sed 's/NEW :/NEW:/g' | sed 's/NEW /NEW: /g' > /tmp/changelogtocopy
```

To generate a changelog of a **maintenance version** x.y.z, you can do

```
cd ~/git/dolibarr_x.y
git log x.y.(z-1)..   | sed -e "s/^[0-9a-z]* //" | grep -e '^FIX\|NEW' | sort -u | sed 's/FIXED:/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIXED :/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIX :/FIX:/g' | sed 's/FIX /FIX: /g' | sed 's/NEW :/NEW:/g' | sed 's/NEW /NEW: /g' > /tmp/changelogtocopy
```

- Recopy the content of the output file into the file ChangeLog.
  
  Note: To know the number of lines changes: git diff --shortstat vA vB

- Update version number with x.y.z in file htdocs/filefunc.inc.php

- Commit all changes and push the changes (direct commit or PR) and check that CI is green after the push.

- Run makepack-dolibarr.pl with option 0 to generate the signature file and all the packages (or run the option 1 alone and then option of each packages you want to build).

- Check content of built packages (the files must have a relative dir "dolibarr-x.y.z/..." and the filelist-x.y.z.xml should be inside the packages too.

- Run makepack-dolibarr.pl again with option 98 to publish files on dolibarr foundation server (Dir /home/dolibarr/wwwroot/files/stable on www.dolibarr.org).

- Run makepack-dolibarr.pl again with option 99 to publish files on sourceforge. This will also add the official tag x.y.z.

- Post a news message in dolibarr.org web site by cloning a past news + relay the news url on social networks


### On Windows

Windows must be used to build the DoliWamp package. And only when the build of packages on Linux has been generated.

Once prerequisites are solved, just run the script *makepack-dolibarr.pl* with option to build the .EXE. You should get the Dolibarr.exe DoliWamp package.
