Releasing an addon¶
Your addon should be listed and hosted on PyPI if you want other people to use your addon.
Warning
Everything on PyPI is public. Be careful not to hard-code passwords in any file.
Setup necessary packages¶
To setup all needed packages you need to run the following command.
pip install zest.releaser zest.pocompile check-manifest
This takes care of everything you should do: - Check if all files will be in the package. - Set the version number - Tag the release - Compile any .mo file to .po files - Make the actual release - Bump the version.
Note
This installs the packages into your global python installation. An alternative would be installing the packages in a virtualenv.
Releasing a package¶
Use the
fullrelease
command in the root of your checkout.
$ fullrelease
