\section*{Agricola Release HowTo}
\subsection*{Create release branch}
A push event to a \textit{release/...} named branch will create release
candidates. These release candidates are deployed to agricola's project svn.
(\texttt{http://dabsvn01.internal.novero.com/svn/\ \\
0\_31X\_P0070\_agricola/trunk/development/software/\ \\
releases/release\_candidate/})\\
Checkout the new release branch:
\begin{lstlisting}
git checkout -b release/<release_name>
\end{lstlisting}
Prepare build variables in the \textit{variables} section of the build job
file\\(\texttt{.gitlab-ci.yml} in agricola's root directory).
\begin{lstlisting}
variables:
  PRODUCT_NAME: "AG"
  PRODUCT_VARIANT: "NA"
#  PRODUCT_VARIANT: "EU"
#  PRODUCT_VARIANT: "CN"
  PROJECT_VERSION: "10"
  SW_MAJOR: "1"
  SW_MINOR: "2"
\end{lstlisting}
Push the new branch to the gitlab-server:
\begin{lstlisting}
git push --set-upstream release/<release_name> origin \
release/<release_name>
\end{lstlisting}
\subsection*{Create release tag}
A \textit{release/174\_AG...} named tag in the agricola repository at the
gitlab server will create a release and deploys it to the agricola project
svn repository. To create the tag:
\begin{itemize}
\item go to agricola's gitlab tags section \\
(\texttt{https://novgit05.novero.com/agricola/agricola/tags})
\item Hit the \textit{+ New tag} button
\item Choose a valid tag name \textit{(release/174\_AG...)}
\item Choose the above created release branch as source for the new tag.
\item Hit the \textit{Create tag} button
\end{itemize}
