To make a release of one or more Golang modules in the OTel Arrow repository, follow these steps.

  1. Using Git, checkout the version of the repo that will be released and create a new branch for the release, for example,
git checkout main
git pull upstream main
git checkout -b release_xx_yy_zz

  1. Make sure the CHANGELOG.md file is up to date, add entries describing the changes in the new release. If collector dependencies have changed during this release cycle, make genotelarrowcol should have been run to synchronize dependencies.

  2. Using Make, prepare the release means updating Go modules and checking in the changes, for example.

make prepare-release

  1. Push the branch and open a PR to submit these changes to the upstream repository's main branch.

  2. After merging the PR, pull the upstream commit, for example,

git checkout main
git pull upstream main
  1. Push the release, for example,
make push-release
  1. The tag has now been published, but need to manually create the release in the Github UI. Go to https://github.com/open-telemetry/otel-arrow/releases and click Draft a new release. Select the tag you pushed in step 6 and link the Changelog in the description, following the convention of previous releases. TODO: automate this step to trigger whenever a new release tag is pushed.

The release has been published. Note that these instructions do not cover the use of multiple module sets, since this repository uses a single module set named "beta" at this time.

  1. Re-enable CI/CD by reverting the change to .github/workflows/ci.yml.
