3 ## Updating libgit2
4
5 The following steps can be used to update libgit2:
6
7 1. Update the submodule.
8 There are several ways to go about this.
9 One way is to go to the `libgit2-sys/libgit2` directory and run `git fetch origin` to download the latest updates, and then check out a specific tag (such as `git checkout v1.4.1`).
10 2. Update all the references to the version:
11 * Update [`libgit2-sys/build.rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs/blob/master/libgit2-sys/build.rs).
12 There is a version probe (search for `cfg.range_version`) which should be updated.
13 * Update the version in
14 [`libgit2-sys/Cargo.toml`](https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs/blob/master/libgit2-sys/Cargo.toml).
15 Update the metadata portion (the part after the `+`) to match libgit2.
16 Also bump the Cargo version (the part before the `+`), keeping in mind
17 if this will be a SemVer breaking change or not.
18 * Update the dependency version in [`Cargo.toml`](https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs/blob/master/Cargo.toml) to match the version in the last step (do not include the `+` metadata).
19 Also update the version of the `git2` crate itself so it will pick up the change to `libgit2-sys` (also keeping in mind if it is a SemVer breaking release).
20 * Update the version in [`README.md`](https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs/blob/master/README.md) if needed.
21 * If there was a SemVer-breaking version bump for either library, also update the `html_root_url` attribute in the `lib.rs` of each library.
22 3. Run tests.
23 `cargo test -p git2 -p git2-curl` is a good starting point.
24 4. Run `systest`.
25 This will validate for any C-level API problems.
26 Unfortunately `systest` does not work on nightly, so you'll need to use stable.
27
28 `cargo +stable run -p systest`

30 The changelog at <https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/blob/main/docs/changelog.md>
31 can be helpful for seeing what has changed.
32 The project has recently started labeling API and ABI breaking changes with labels:
33 <https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3A%22api+breaking%22%2C%22abi+breaking%22+is%3Aclosed>
34 4. Once you have everything functional, publish a PR with the updates.

53
54 To publish the new release:
55
56 - In a fresh clone, make sure you run `git submodule update`.
57 - For each updated package, run `cargo publish` (`libgit2-sys` then `git2` then `git2-curl`).
58 - Set tags for each package that was update:
59 - `git tag 0.16.1`
60 - `git tag libgit2-sys-0.14.2+1.5.1`
61 - `git tag git2-curl-0.17.0`
62 - Push the tags (substitute the "origin" remote name if you are using a different name):
63 - `git push origin 0.16.1`
64 - `git push origin libgit2-sys-0.14.2+1.5.1`
65 - `git push origin git2-curl-0.17.0`
