Release Process

There are two types of release for the go.opentelemetry.io/contrib repo and submodules.

  1. Case 1 A release due to changes independent of the go.opentelemetry.io/otel module, e.g. perhaps a critical bug fix in one of the contrib modules.

  2. Case 2 A release due to a breaking API change in go.opentelemetry.io/otel which all modules in this repo depend on.

Pre-Release

Update go.mod for submodules to depend on the upcoming new release of the module in this repo, go.opentelemetry.io/contrib. Decide on the next version of the semantic tag to apply to the contrib module based on whether you fall into Case 1 or Case 2.

Case 1

If the changes are all internal to this repo, then the new tag will most often be a patch or minor version upgrade to the existing tag on this module. Let's call this <new_contrib_tag>.

Case 2

If a new release is required due to breaking changes in go.opentelemetry.io/otel, then the new semantic tag for this repo should be bumped to match the go.opentelemetry.io/otel new tag. Let's call this <new_otel_tag>. The script checks that go.opentelemetry.io/otel@v<new_otel_tag> is a valid tag, so you need to wait until that tag has been pushed in the main repo.

In nearly all cases, <new_contrib_tag> should be the same as <new_otel_tag>.

  1. Run pre_release.sh script to create a branch pre_release_<new_contrib_tag>. The script will also run go mod tidy and make ci.

    • Case 1 ./pre_release.sh -t <new_contrib_tag>
    • Case 2 ./pre_release.sh -o <new_otel_tag> [-t <new_contrib_tag>]
  2. If you used -o <new_otel_tag> to rewrite the modules to depend on a new version of go.opentelemetry.io/otel, there will likely be breaking changes that require fixes to the files in this contrib repo. Make the appropriate fixes to address any API breaks and run through the

     ```
     git commit -m "fixes due to API changes"
     make precommit
     ```
    

    cycle until everything passes

  3. Push the changes to upstream.

    git diff main
    git push
    
  4. Create a PR on github and merge the PR once approved.

Tag

Now create a <new_contrib_tag> on the commit hash of the changes made in pre-release step,

  1. Run the tag.sh script.

    ./tag.sh <new_contrib_tag> <commit-hash>
    
  2. Push tags upstream. Make sure you push upstream for all the sub-module tags as well.

    git push upstream <new_contrib_tag>
    git push upstream <submodules-path/new_contrib_tag>
    ...
    

Release

Now create a release for the new <new_contrib_tag> on github. The release body should include all the release notes in the Changelog for this release. Additionally, the tag.sh script generates commit logs since last release which can be used to suppliment the release notes.
