## Updating the package
To update the package the first you need to do is to set up your build environment. After that there are two ways: an automated way (which is highly preferred) and a manual way.
Since I automated the updating process quite a bit using the `update-new-version.sh` as well as preparations on my local system I no longer accept merge requests for updating the package to a new version. Processing them would take me much more time than doing the update myself.
In case I'm late for an update (over 1-2 weeks), feel free to create an issue [on GitLab](https://gitlab.com/mmk2410/intellij-idea-community). I'm also working on a fully automated system for updating the packages but this will still take a while.
### Setting up the build environment
@ -26,85 +28,8 @@ Run `sudo apt install build-dep debhelper`.
It is also necessary to setup Git with your username and email address as explained in numerous tutorials.
### The automated way
### Updating the package
Run `./update-new-version.sh "$new-version"`
Where `$new-version` is in the format `[year].[major].[minor]`.
### The manual way
To update the version follow these steps. Replace all instances of `[year].[major].[minor]` with the new version numbers (e.g., 2017.3++).
1. Fork the repo
2. Create your own feature branch
```
git checkout -b version-[year].[major].[minor]
```
3. Rename the following
```
mv intellij-idea-community_2017.3 intellij-idea-community_[year].[major].[minor]
mv intellij-idea-community_2017.3.orig.tar.gz intellij-idea-community_[year].[major].[minor].orig.tar.gz
```
4. Edit the README.md and update the version numbers
5. Go into the build files directory
```
cd intellij-idea-community_[year].[major].[minor]/debian
```
6. Edit the changelog file and prepend a new changelog entry. You can just copy an old one and update the values in it
7. Edit the preinst file and update the download url. Normally this is done by updating the version number
8. Go one directory back
```
cd ..
```
9. Run the following command to build the package for testing purposes
```
debuild -us -uc
```
10. Go another directory back
```
cd ..
```
11. Remove the old files
```
rm intellij-idea-community_2017.3-1*
```
12. Install the package to test it
```
sudo dpkg -i intellij-idea-community_[year].[major].[minor]_all.deb
```
13. If everything works, add yourself to the CONTRIBUTORS.txt
14. Commit your changes
```
git add -A
git commit -m "Version [year].[major].[minor]"
```
15. Push to the branch
```
git push origin version-[year].[major].[minor]
```
16. Create new pull request
