RepoPlone 1.0.0a1

Toolset for Plone mono repo maintainers.

RepoPlone

Overview

The RepoPlone is a tool designed to manage mono repos containing a repository.toml configuration file at the repository root.

It provides various commands to streamline repository management, versioning, and release processes.

Setup

Installation

To install the latest version of this tool, run (on an isolated virtual environment):

pip install repoplone

Also, you can use uvx to run this tool, without the need to install it in your environment.

Authentications

PyPi

We use hatch to make the release, please make sure authentication is in place by running:

hatch publish --initialize-auth

GitHub

To add releases to GitHub, you should have an environment variable GH_TOKEN set -- with a valid token -- before running this tool.

export GH_TOKEN='<token>'

NPM

npm whoami

Usage

Prepare the repository

Ensure that your monorepo contains a repository.toml file. Below is an example of such a configuration:

[repository]
name = "fake-distribution"
managed_by_uv = true
changelog = "CHANGELOG.md"
version = "version.txt"
compose = "docker-compose.yml"

[repository.towncrier]
section = "Project"
settings = "towncrier.toml"

[backend]
path = "backend"

[backend.package]
name = "fake.distribution"
path = "backend"
changelog = "backend/CHANGELOG.md"
towncrier_settings = "backend/pyproject.toml"
base_package = "Products.CMFPlone"
publish = false

[frontend]
path = "frontend"

[frontend.package]
name = "fake-distribution"
path = "frontend/packages/fake-distribution"
changelog = "frontend/packages/fake-distribution/CHANGELOG.md"
towncrier_settings = "frontend/packages/fake-distribution/towncrier.toml"
publish = false

List Available Commands

To see all available commands, run:

uvx repoplone

Check Installed Version

To check the installed version of the tool, use:

uvx repoplone --version

Check repository versions

List current versions for:

• Repository
• Backend package
• Frontend package

uvx repoplone versions

Releasing Monorepo Packages

The release process consists of two subcommands:

• changelog – Generates a draft changelog for review.
• do – Performs the package release.

Generate Changelog

To generate and display the draft changelog, run:

uvx repoplone release changelog

Perform Release

The do command creates a new release and accepts the following arguments:

version

The version argument defines the new version to be used in the release. It can be a specific version number or a version segment. Below is a reference table showing how version segments modify an existing 1.0.0 version:

Segment	New Version
release	1.0.0
major	2.0.0
minor	1.1.0
micro / patch / fix	1.0.1
a / alpha	1.0.0a0
b / beta	1.0.0b0
c / rc / pre / preview	1.0.0rc0
r / rev / post	1.0.0.post0
dev	1.0.0.dev0

--dry-run

Use this flag to simulate the release process without actually publishing the new version.

Example:

uvx repoplone release do a

This will create an alpha release.
