GitHub / Jira release tool

verpakker is a tool for continuous version (tag) creation. It could create next or patch version based on semver-like notation.

NB! Still under hard development.

Version notation

Currently supported vYYWW.N.P notation, where

• YYWW - is a year/week abbreviation
• N - is a weekly number increment
• P - is a patch increment

Dependencies

• standard system tools: bash, awk, git, curl
• jo - to create JSON string
• jq - to parse JSON string

On MacOS (OSX) could be installed with Homebrew:

$ brew install bash awk git curl
$ brew install jo jq

Installation

$ git clone git@github.com:jaymecd/verpakker.git ~/verpakker

Initialize verpakker:

$ cd my/project/to/deploy
$ ~/verpakker/verpakker.sh init

• GITHUB_TOKEN - GitHub personal access token

• TRAVIS_TOKEN - TravisCI token (required for pivate repositoeries)

• JIRA_TOKEN - JIRA BasicAuth token ($ echo "user:pass" | base64)

  if you get HTTP 401 error with correct password, it's required to reset password via JIRA 'forgot password' form. More info on this weird behaviour - JRACLOUD-66793

• JIRA_DOMAIN - JIRA domain

• JIRA_PROJECTS - JIRA tracked projects, space separated list

• JIRA_PREFIX - JIRA version prefix (optional)

  If next tag is v1741.2.3, JIRA version would be created as ${JIRA_PREFIX}1741.2 and assigned to the ${JIRA_DOMAIN} tickets in commit range.

• JIRA_DESCRIPTION - JIRA version description (optional)

Observe configuration:

$ ~/verpakker/verpakker.sh show

Usage

$ git verpak-next

$ git verpak-patch
