CodeChecker release

If CodeChecker is released on the GitHub we need to create new docker images and a new snap package from it.

How to create a new docker image

A Github action will automatically create docker images on every new release. If you would like to build docker images manually from a CodeChecker repository run the following commands (don't forget to replace <x.y> with the new version):

# Checkout the new release.
git checkout v6.<x.y>

# Build the image without cache.
docker build \
  --build-arg CC_VERSION=v6.<x.y> \
  --tag codechecker/codechecker-web:6.<x.y> \
  --no-cache \
  web/docker

# Update the latest tag.
docker build \
  --build-arg CC_VERSION=v6.<x.y> \
  --tag codechecker/codechecker-web:latest \
  web/docker

How to create a new snap package

To build and release a snap package from a new CodeChecker version do the following steps:

1. Check and update the version and the source values in the snap/snapcraft.yaml file with the version you would like to build for a new CodeChecker snap package.

2. Run the following commands from a CodeChecker repository:

   # Clean the previous builds.
   snapcraft clean
   
   # Build the snap package.
   snapcraft
   
   # Try out the package in your local environment.
   sudo snap install codechecker_<version>_amd64.snap --dangerous --classic
   
    # See if it works.
   snap run codechecker version
   
   # Login to the snap store.
   snapcraft login
   
   # Upload and release it to the stabel channel.
   snapcraft upload --release=stable codechecker_<version>_amd64.snap
   
   # Get info from the revisions.
   snapcraft list-revisions codechecker
   
   # Update the package on my machine.
   sudo snap refresh codechecker --stable --classic --amend
   
   # See if it works.
   snap run codechecker version
