David Steele 4a5bd002c0 Move pgBackRest::Version module to pgBackRestDoc::ProjectInfo.

The primary source for project info is now src/version.h.

The pgBackRestDoc::ProjectInfo module loads the project info from src/version.h at runtime so there is no need to update it.

Release Build Instructions

Create a branch to test the release

git checkout -b release-ci

Update the date, version, and release title

Edit the latest release in doc/xml/release.xml, e.g.:

        <release date="XXXX-XX-XX" version="2.14dev" title="UNDER DEVELOPMENT">

to:

        <release date="2019-05-20" version="2.14" title="Bug Fix and Improvements">

Edit version in src/version.h, e.g.:

#define PROJECT_VERSION                                             "2.14dev"

to:

#define PROJECT_VERSION                                             "2.14"

Build release documentation. Be sure to install latex using the instructions from the Vagrantfile before running this step.

doc/release.pl --build

Update code counts

test/test.pl --code-count

Commit release branch and push to CI for testing

git commit -m "Release test"
git push origin release-ci

Clone web documentation into `doc/site`

cd doc
git clone git@github.com:pgbackrest/website.git site

Deploy web documentation to `doc/site`

doc/release.pl --deploy

Final commit of release to integration

Create release notes based on the pattern in prior git commits (this should be automated at some point), e.g.

v2.14: Bug Fix and Improvements

Bug Fixes:

* Fix segfault when process-max > 8 for archive-push/archive-get. (Reported by Jens Wilke.)

Improvements:

* Bypass database checks when stanza-delete issued with force. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang. Suggested by hatifnatt.)
* Add configure script for improved multi-platform support.

Documentation Features:

* Add user guides for CentOS/RHEL 6/7.

Commit to integration with the above message and push to CI.

Push to master

Push release commit to master once CI testing is complete.

Create release on github

Create release notes based on pattern in prior releases (this should be automated at some point), e.g.

v2.14: Bug Fix and Improvements

**Bug Fixes**:

- Fix segfault when process-max > 8 for archive-push/archive-get. (Reported by Jens Wilke.)

**Improvements**:

- Bypass database checks when stanza-delete issued with force. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang. Suggested by hatifnatt.)
- Add configure script for improved multi-platform support.

**Documentation Features**:

- Add user guides for CentOS/RHEL 6/7.

The first line will be the release title and the rest will be the body. The tag field should be updated with the current version so a tag is created from master. Be sure to select the release commit explicitly rather than auto-tagging the last commit in master!

Push web documentation to master and deploy

cd doc/site
git commit -m "v2.14 documentation."
git push origin master

Deploy the documentation on pgbackrest.org.
