Deploying LuxCoreRender

Releasing and Deploying LuxCoreRender

Audience, Objectives, Scope and Prerequisites

This document is intended for LuxCoreRender administrators only.

The term Releasing refers to the process of finalizing a version of LuxCore, ie defining a state of LuxCore which can be made available to end-users. The term Deployment refers to the process of making a new release of LuxCoreRender available to users.

The scope of Deployment is restricted to: - LuxCore, encompassing the Python wheels (aka `pyluxcore`) and the Samples (aka `luxcoreui` and `luxcoreconsole`) - BlendLuxCore

Please note we deliberately exclude the dependencies (LuxCoreDeps) from the deployment scope. Indeed: - Dependencies are not intended for end-users, so deployment is not applicable. - Up-to-date dependencies are necessary for LuxCore development and tests, so they should have been released for a while when LuxCore deployment occurs.

Prerequisites

We assume that the LuxCore elements are buildable and have been reasonably tested.
