go/bazel-release for the how-to

[cgrushko]

When can we expect a release? I currently have to tell people to build Bazel from head to use java_proto_library 😄

[damienmg]

We have only one blocker and I got LGTM for all the code so I guess next week if we can make the CI green. There are several important fixes in that release (invalidation of repository, flaky tests, repository naming, Windows output base) so we definitely want to have it soonish

As ever, please ping me for RCs. Ta.

Question: I currently have some external dependency (protobuf actually) throwing warnings with Bazel 0.4.3 w.r.t HOST_CFG and DATA_CFG being deprecated in favor of the host and data variables. Is this going to be turned to errors soon or will it still be warnings for the new 0.5 release? Need to know if we need to schedule a protobuf upgrade ASAP or if we have a little bit more time.

Otherwise looks awesome with the bugfixes & features that are coming in 0.5. Great work Bazel team!

[vladmos]

The variables HOST_CFG and DATA_CFG will be removed in the next release, I suggest you replace them with the strings "host" and "data" asap.

In fact the change has already been committed: cd12f77

[Helcaraxan]

Ok @vladmos. Thanks for the information. :)

I am going to create a RC based on 4bf8cc3 , which is the only short period when ci is almost green.
Also cherrypick a fix for TF Windows build ef1c6fd

[meteorcloudy]

Just did

$ scripts/release/release.sh create 0.4.4 4bf8cc30a572018ac27101396d18686b75ad1ab5 ef1c6fd3379c80c66122f0b5fb2f5141ed0ba4a4
$ scripts/release/release.sh push

Waiting for ci

[meteorcloudy]

@petemounce A RC for 0.4.4 is out, can you please update the chocolatey package? Thanks!!

[petemounce]

@meteorcloudy sure, done; available at https://chocolatey.org/packages/bazel/0.4.4-rc1 .

Is it correct for this to be 0.4.4-rc1? I thought this release would be in the 0.5x stream?

(There seem to be a lot of breaking changes for a patch release)

[meteorcloudy]

@petemounce Thanks! Yes, that is correct.
We still have some features and bugs waiting to be implemented and fixed for 0.5.
Probably it will be the next release.

[meteorcloudy]

0.4.4 has been released, @petemounce Can you update chocolatey again? Thanks!
Closing this one, and creating #2472 assigned to @hermione521

[petemounce]

@meteorcloudy sure, done - https://chocolatey.org/packages/bazel/0.4.4. The usual moderation queue to go through.
