This repo contains the tooling and infrastructure to create Kubernetes releases from the kubernetes/kubernetes main repository.

There are several scripts and helpers in this repository a release manager will find useful when managing all kinds of releases (alpha, beta, official, rc) across branches.

Most tools in this repo run by default in mock mode to allow for ease in development and testing.

For information on how to use gcbmgr, anago and branchff, see the Branch Manager Handbook

For more extensive build and usage documentation for the release-notes tool, see the documentation.

Once the tool is installed, use -h or --help to see the command usage:

$ release-notes -h
Usage of release-notes:
  -end-sha string
        The commit hash to end at
  -format string
        The format for notes output (options: markdown, json) (default "markdown")
  -github-token string
        A personal GitHub access token (required)
  -output string
        The path to the where the release notes will be printed
  -start-sha string
        The commit hash to start at

You can build the deb packages in a Docker container like this:

docker build --tag=debian-packager debian
docker run --volume="$(pwd)/debian:/src" debian-packager

The build runs for a while, after it's done you will find the output in debian/bin.

You can build the rpm packages in a Docker container with:

cd rpm
./docker-build.sh

Resulting rpms, and a pre-generated yum repository will be generated in rpm/output/x86_64.

Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for instructions on how to contribute.
