Track when your features are shipped to production in Redmine. Currently supports git & jenkins.

Upon finishing deploy job, jenkins creates a git tag, so it can track commits that refer to the build. We can use these tags to track which tickets were deployed. Date of deploy is stored in custom field of each ticket that was mentioned in commit. A comment is left for every ticket in release as well for readability.

Install it where your git repo resides. We only support local git repos, so make sure you have enough permissions to access git repo files.

• pip install redmine-releasedate
• Specify redmine access options in releasedate.cfg

* run redmine-release-server and make it available via http :

# releasedate.cfg
[redmine]
url = http://example.com
token = your_api_token_goes_here
released_at_id = 42  ;custom field id goes here

[releasedate]
message = Deployed on %(instance)s at %(date)s in release "%(release_id)s":%(release_url)s
address = 0.0.0.0  ; optional
port = 8080  ; optional

• Pip install redmine-releasedate on your jenkins server. No configuration is needed.

• Add this to your Jenkins build step (preferably, in post-build task):

  git push --tags
  redmine-release http://releasedate_url/ /path/to/repo/ [instance_url]

Create a user with permissions to edit tickets and post notes in your project. Obtain his API token and put it into releasedate.cfg. Add custom field to store releasedate information.

You can run server as usual wsgi app behind uwsgi or guicorn:

# your/wsgi/module.py
os.environ.setdefault("RELEASEDATE_CONFIG", "path/to/your/releasedate.cfg")
from releasedate.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

Second run of client command will make second comment and overwrite release date, so please make sure you run redmine-release only once per deploy.
