Description

It will be based off coho nightly. Multi-step process. Proposal below. Still figuring out some details (what to pass in). Feel free to comment and provide feedback.

Step 1) coho prepare-tools-release --jira ISSUENUMBER

• Use latest tags in platform repos; use in platformsConfig.json
• Include cordova-js & plugman (nightlies don't)(cordova-js: only if changes exist)
• Update package.json files + relevant dependencies
• npm link relevant repos
• run tests
• generate release notes for tools repos
• Ask user for manual curation for changes in release notes

Step 2) coho publish-tools --rc --jira ISSUENUMBER

• branch tools repos (no need to cherry-pick release log changes)
• update versions on master with -dev
• Commit changes
• Build archive
• publish archive to npm under rc tag
• publish to dist/dev

Step 3) (manual for now)

• Start vote thread
• close vote thread

Step 4) coho publish-tools --final --jira ISSUENUMBER

• Publish to dist & delete dist/dev
• Change npm latest tags to point to new versions

Not including for now:

• Generating issue on Jira (should be done manually pre step 1)
• Pinning dependencies (should be done manually pre step 1)
• license checks (should be done manually pre step 1)
• audit-license-headers (should be done manually pre step 1)
• Changes to docs.cordova.io
• Creating blog post
