Development Processes
=====================
Landing PRs
-----------
* Even after the code of a PR is approved, it should only be landed if the
CI on github is green, or the failures are known intermittent things
(with very strong reason to think they unrelated to the current PR).
* If you see an approved PR of someone without commit access (that either
you or someone else approved), land it for them (after checking CI as
mentioned earlier).
* If you approve a PR by someone with commit access, if there is no urgency
then leave it for them to land. (They may have other PRs to land alongside
it, etc.)
* It is strongly recommended to land PRs with github's "squash" option, which
turns the PR into a single commit. This makes sense if the PR is small,
which is also strongly recommended. However, sometimes separate commits may
make more sense, *if and only if*:
* The PR is not easily separable into a series of small PRs (e.g., review
must consider all the commits, either because the commits are hard to
understand by themselves, or because review of a later PR may influence
an earlier PR's discussion).
* The individual commits have value (e.g., they are easier to understand
one by one).
* The individual commits are compatible with bisection (i.e., all tests
should pass after each commit).
When landing multiple commits in such a scenario, use the "rebase" option,
to avoid a merge commit.
Release Processes
=================
Minor version updates (1.X.Y to 1.X.Y+1)
----------------------------------------
When:
* Such an update ensures we clear the cache, so it should be done when required
(for example, a change to libc or libc++).
* The emsdk compiled versions are based on the version number, so periodically
we can do this when we want a new precompiled emsdk version to be available.
Requirements:
* [emscripten-releases build CI][waterfall] is green on all OSes for the
desired hash (where the hash is the git hash in the
[emscripten-releases][releases_repo] repo, which then specifies through
[DEPS][DEPS] exactly which revisions to use in all other repos).
* [GitHub CI](https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/branches) is green
on the `main` branch.
How:
1. Run [`./scripts/create_release.py`][create_release] in the emsdk repository.
This script will update [emscripten-releases-tags.json][emscripten_releases_tags],
adding a new version. You can either specify the desired hash, or let the
script pick the current tot build. The script will create a new git branch
that can be uploaded as a PR.
3. Tag the `emsdk` repo with the new version number, on the commit that does the
update, after it lands on main.
4. Tag the `emscripten` repo with the new version number, on the commit referred
to in the [DEPS][DEPS] file above.
5. Update [`emscripten-version.txt`][emscripten_version] and
[`ChangeLog.md`][changelog] in the emscripten repo to refer the next,
upcoming, version.
Major version update (1.X.Y to 1.(X+1).0)
-----------------------------------------
When:
* We should do such an update when we have a reasonable assurance of stability.
Requirements:
* All the requirements for a minor update.
* No major change recently landed.
* No major recent regressions have been filed.
* All tests pass locally for the person doing the update, including the main
test suite (no params passed to `runner.py`), `other`, `browser`, `sockets`,
`sanity`, `binaryen*`. (Not all of those are run on all the bots.)
* A minor version was recently tagged, no major bugs have been reported on it,
and nothing major landed since it did. (Bugs are often only found on tagged
versions, so a big feature should first be in a minor version update before
it is in a major one.)
How:
1. Follow the same steps for a minor version update.
Updating the `emscripten.org` Website
--------------------------------------
The site is currently hosted in `gh-pages` branch of the separate [site
repository][site_repo]. To update the docs, rebuild them and copy them into
this repository. There is a script that will perform these steps automatically:
`tools/maint/update_docs.py`. Just run this script with no arguments if the
emscripten-site repository is checked out alongside emscripten itself, or pass
the location of the checkout if not.
You will need the specific sphinx version installed, which you can do using
`pip3 install -r requirements-dev.txt` (depending on your system, you may then
need to add `~/.local/bin` to your path, if pip installs to there).
Updating the `emcc.py` help text
--------------------------------
`emcc --help` output is generated from the main documentation under `site/`,
so it is the same as shown on the website, but it is rendered to text. After
updating `emcc.rst` in a PR, the following should be done:
1. In your emscripten repo checkout, enter `site`.
2. Run `make clean` (without this, it may not emit the right output).
2. Run `make text`.
3. Copy the output `build/text/docs/tools_reference/emcc.txt` to
`../docs/emcc.txt` (both paths relative to the `site/` directory in
emscripten that you entered in step 1), and add that change to your PR.
See notes above on installing sphinx.
