How to Upgrade Roundcube

Roundcube is being maintained via git on stallman.mayfirst.org in the /srv directory.

We have both a /srv/roundcube-dev (accessible via ​https://roundcube.dev.mayfirst.org) and /srv/roundcube (​https://roundcube.mayfirst.org).

Both installations are maintained via git. In addition, there is a roundcube-code user that owns the code. Be sure to add your monkeysphere user id to /home/roundcube-code/.monkeysphere/authorized_user_ids and run (as root): monkeysphere-authentication update-users roundcube-code then login as the roundcube-code user when making all changes.

Please follow these directions when upgrading.

Basic Setup (only needed once)

• Create a roundcube directory on your local machine, initialize git and set your various remotes:

  0 jamie@animal:mfpl$ mkdir roundcube
  0 jamie@animal:mfpl$ cd roundcube/
  0 jamie@animal:roundcube$ git init
  Initialized empty Git repository in /home/jamie/projects/mfpl/roundcube/.git/
  0 jamie@animal:roundcube$ git remote add origin https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail
  0 jamie@animal:roundcube$ git remote add gmo gitosis@git.mayfirst.org:mfpl/roundcube
  0 jamie@animal:roundcube$ git remote update

• Now, checkout (and create a branch) for the mfpl branch of the gmo remote.

  0 jamie@animal:roundcube$ git checkout -b mfpl gmo/mfpl
  Branch mfpl set up to track remote branch mfpl from gmo.
  Switched to a new branch 'mfpl'

Doing an upgrade

We're leaning toward rebasing as a matter of common practice, and leaving a trail of signed tags:

• start by rebasing, inspecting, verifying, signing a tag, and then pushing to git.mayfirst.org:

  git rebase 0.8.6
  # examine the changelog and the git history; make sure things look sane.
  git tag -s -m 'Tagging roundcube with MF/PL changes version 0.8.6' roundcube-mfpl-0.8.6
  git push gmo --tags
  

• Now, as roundcube-code@stallman.mayfirst.org, verify the tag and check it out if it looks reasonable:

  cd /srv/roundcube-dev
  git remote update
  git tag -v roundcube-mfpl-0.8.6
  git checkout roundcube-mfpl-0.8.6
  

• Test via: ​https://roundcube.dev.mayfirst.org/
• If all works fine, pull into the live server via roundcube-code@stallman.mayfirst.org:

  cd /srv/roundcube
  git remote update
  git tag -v roundcube-mfpl-0.8.6
  git checkout roundcube-mfpl-0.8.6
  

• and test it one last time at ​https://roundcube.mayfirst.org/
