1192013 - Automate parts of NSS and NSPR release engineering

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSS :: Test, defect)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

Manual editing of version number files, and removal and addition of beta status, is cumbersome and needs training to avoid mistakes.
Let's automate it.

Comment 1

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

Attachment: 1192013-v1.patch

This script can be used to automate the changes to the following version number header files:

nssutil_h = "lib/util/nssutil.h"
softkver_h = "lib/softoken/softkver.h"
nss_h = "lib/nss/nss.h"
nssckbi_h = "lib/ckfw/builtins/nssckbi.h"

It can perform the following actions:

- remove beta status
- set beta status

The above is done independently of setting version numbers.

- set to a new "x.y" version number (resetting patch and build to zero)

- set to a new "x.y.z" version number (resetting build to zero)

- set to a new "x.y.z.b" version number

- independently set the release candidate number (4th digit),
  without influencing the printed 2 or 3 digit version number

- print the current state of library version numbers


- print the version number of the root ca module

- set the version number of the root ca module

Can we get this in the tree Kai?  Bugzilla isn't exactly the best place for code.

I suggest we check in the initial versions that seem to work.

We can enhance them in follow up bugs.

I was also thinking that this could be made simpler by having PR_VERSION set based on the value of PR_BETA in the code, so that there would be no change of a mismatch between the two.  e.g.,

#define PR_BETA PR_TRUE
#if (PR_BETA == PR_TRUE)
#define PR_BETA_STRING " Beta"
#else
#define PR_BETA_STRING

#define PR_VERSION "..... " PR_BETA_STRING

After looking at this more thoroughly, I think that this is workable, but it could be significantly more automated.  I think that we should check this in, but look at improving the process so that the script does more work.  As it stands, there are lots of manual pieces.

I'd really like to get to the point where these headers all reference the same variable(s) for versions.  Is that possible?

I would rather see this parse out the version numbers from each of these into a single string and report that.  Also check that these locations all report the same numbers and scream if there is a mismatch.  That's more work for this script, but easier to use.

My ideal usability outcome is:

Can we synthesize this tag (or the version from the tag)?  That would cut down on errors.

Rather than fail, is it possible to create an NSPR release from ../nspr (or whereever that is configured to be)?  We have an nss_build_all target that pulls in NSPR, why not do the same here?  I understand that this might be more work, but it would make this less brittle.

Do we really need all of these different options?  Can we just have a set_version that takes a tag string and just extracts the necessary pieces then sets the version?

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

8 months since Martin's review when I didn't have time to address his comments :-(

Because the syntax of NSS_VERSION has been changed in bug 1273505, its regular expression needs to be updated.

The following text must be removed from the code, in two locations:

>> *_NSS_ECC_STRING<<

According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7573368/in-place-edits-with-sed-on-os-x 
 -i ''
works on OSX.

I'll try to change
  "sed", "-i",
to
  "sed", "-i", "\'\'",

which hopefully will work.

Comment 13

[Martin Thomson [:mt:]]

Yeah, you have to sniff (check for Darwin) to make this portable.

Comment 14

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

Ok, using -i in a portable way is complicated, as explained at http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/92895/how-to-achieve-portability-with-sed-i-in-place-editing#92907

I'll just use a helper function to call set with a backup extension, and remove the backup file afterwards.

Addresses Martin's comments.

And instead of dropping the script into the main directory, I suggest we use a subdirectory. Because nss already has an "automation" subdirectory, I suggest we use "automation/release" for both nss and nspr.

You're suggesting, that we should have just a global variable?

That doesn't work for Red Hat / Fedora, because we mix different versions (older softokn version frozen at FIPS validated snapshot).

Why unnecessarily have extra files? The file is intended to live in the stage area, nobody else needs it, so I don't need another copy. I don't want to use ln, because I have the habit that the stage directory on my system is stable, and I'm collecting the past archives I have created, so I could doublecheck in the future, if there's ever something fishy on the public archives (compare with the version I had made), so I want my stage directory to have real files, not links.

As your for ideas to make all of this smarter, sure, but I don't have the time currently.

BTW, I had used python, not a batch script, because Mozilla already uses python scripts, too, and we never know how much more functionality we want in the future, and python seems more capable.

Thanks. I found that topsrcdir actually isn't being used.

I'll just remove the "topsrcdir" code from both scripts.
