+# Release Process
+
+## Pre-work:
+- [create crates.io account](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/publishing.html#before-your-first-publish)
+- Make sure you are a member of the [enarx/owners](https://github.com/orgs/enarx/teams/owners) GitHub team
+- Get a crates.io token and set it to .
+- get a clean enarx repo from here: `git clone https://github.com/enarx/enarx.git`
+  ```bash
+  export UPSTREAM="upstream"
+  git remote rename origin upstream
+  ```
+  * `origin` points to the user's fork
+  ```bash
+  export FORK="origin"
+  git remote add origin https://github.com/<username>/enarx.git
+  ```
+- ensure you have git credentials available to push to origin
+- make sure you have write permissions to `enarx/enarx` or other repositories
+
+## Versioning
+- Breaking changes require a major version number increase, assuming a stable >0 major release 
+- Features require a minor number increase
+- Bugfixes require a patch number increase
+
+## Prerequisites:
+- Prepare release notes
+- `cargo` credentials are cached
+- `git` credentials are available on host to allow pushing code
+- `gh` installed and configured
+- You are running the build process on a X86_64 host
+- Freeze all merges until release process complete
+
+
+## Weekly chores
+* [Update Rust toolchain](https://github.com/enarx/enarx/actions/workflows/rust-toolchain-update.yml)
+* [Update Cargo dependencies](https://github.com/enarx/enarx/actions/workflows/cargo-update.yml)
+
+
+### Update and release prerequiste crates
+> **NOTE:** The list of crates that need to be updated for a release can be seen by running this following command:
+> ```bash
+> grep -R 'git+https' *.lock | sort | uniq
+> ```
+
+<!-- TODO
+Do we need to update/publish crates for dependencies:
+- JSONpath?
+- better grep?
+Idea:
+- if (the enarx organization) && (if there is a git hash specified in in the Cargo.toml)
+  - then: 
+    - PUBLISH: we need to ensure that for that crate that there exists a published version which includes that revision/commit
+    - UPDATE Cargo.toml w/ latest published crate
+
+if there is a git or path dependency then there is a published version that there is a most recent verison of the crate/HEAD
+HASH or head.
+
+if not a publish that contains a published release, then make that release for that crate
+and update Cargo.toml with that crate version (removing the hash/head)
+
+# tag all of the individual commits for each one of the bindeps and push
+ -->
+
+> This may be an optional step dependant on whether there are relevant changes in the prerequisite crates, including:
+> * [crt0stack](https://github.com/enarx/crt0stack)
+> * [flagset](https://github.com/enarx/flagset)
+> * [iocuddle](https://github.com/enarx/iocuddle)
+> * [lset](https://github.com/enarx/lset)
+> * [mmarinus](https://github.com/enarx/mmarinus)
+> * [mmledger](https://github.com/enarx/mmledger)
+> * [nbytes](https://github.com/enarx/nbytes)
+> * [noted](https://github.com/enarx/noted)
+> * [primordial](https://github.com/enarx/primordial)
+> * [rcrt1](https://github.com/enarx/rcrt1)
+> * [sallyport](https://github.com/enarx/sallyport)
+> * [sgx](https://github.com/enarx/sgx)
+> * [snp](https://github.com/enarx/snp)

+
+#### Assumptions:
+- All approved PRs are merged
+- Rust toolchain (if using snapshot) and `cargo update` has been run
+
+#### Steps:
+- Determine expected version by reviewing output of `git log`
+- Set new version
+  ```bash
+  export MAJOR=0
+  export MINOR=2
+  export PATCH=2
+  export NEW_VERSION="${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${PATCH}"
+  ```
+- Set REPO variable, assuming GitHub repository matches directory name
+  ```bash
+  export REPO="$(basename ${PWD})"
+  ```
+- Get latest updates and checkout branch
+  > **NOTE:** The following assumes a new release
+  ```bash
+  git fetch ${UPSTREAM}
+  git checkout -b "b${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.z" ${UPSTREAM}/main
+  ```
+- Determine if crate builds and if it works
+  ```bash
+  cargo clean
+  cargo build --release
+  cargo test
+  ```
+- Update version in `Cargo.toml`
+  ```bash
+  sed -i 's/^version = .*/version = \"'${NEW_VERSION}'\"/' Cargo.toml
+  cargo update -p $(grep name Cargo.toml | cut -d'"' -f2)
+  ```
+- Run `cargo test` again
+  ```bash
+  cargo clean
+  cargo build --release
+  cargo test
+  ```
+- Check if cargo successfully builds with dry run
+  ```bash
+  cargo publish --allow-dirty -v --dry-run
+  ```
+- Commit change and push to repo
+  ```bash
+  git commit -asS -m "chore(release): release v${NEW_VERSION}"
+  git push ${FORK} b${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.z
+  ```
+- Create a PR
+  ```bash
+  gh pr create -t "chore(release): release v${NEW_VERSION}" \
+               -b "chore(release): release v${NEW_VERSION}" \
+               -R enarx/${REPO}
+  ```
+- Confirm that changes passed on CI and merge PR
+- Checkout merged release branch
+  ```bash
+  git fetch ${UPSTREAM}
+  git checkout ${UPSTREAM}/main
+  ```
+- Tag the new release on upstream
+  ```bash
+  git tag --sign -m "chore(release): Release v${NEW_VERSION}" v${NEW_VERSION}
+  git push ${UPSTREAM} v${NEW_VERSION}
+  ```
+- Cargo publish
+  > **NOTE:** Assuming cargo credentials are cached
+  ```bash
+  cargo publish -v
+  ```
+
+### The Enarx release itself
+- Determine expected version by reviewing output of `git log`
+- Set new version
+  ```bash
+  export MAJOR=0
+  export MINOR=2
+  export PATCH=2
+  export NEW_VERSION="${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${PATCH}"
+  ```
+- Get latest updates and checkout branch
+  ```bash
+  git fetch ${UPSTREAM}
+  git checkout -b "b${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.z" ${UPSTREAM}/main
+  ```
+- Bump version inside sub-crate `src/bin/{shim-kvm,shim-sgx,exec-wasmtime}/Cargo.toml` files
+  ```bash
+  for d in crates/*/ ; do ( cd "$d"
+    sed -i 's/^version = .*/version = \"'${NEW_VERSION}'\"/' Cargo.toml
+    cargo update -p enarx-$(basename ${d}) )
+  done
+  sed -i 's/^version = .*/version = \"'${NEW_VERSION}'\"/' Cargo.toml
+  cargo update -p $(grep name Cargo.toml | cut -d'"' -f2)
+  ```
+- _POTENTIALLY OPTIONAL STEP: If there are any changes in the prerequisite crates (e.g. `xsave`, `sgx`, etc) then it will be required to manually update the crates now_
+  ```bash
+  export UPDATED_PREREQUISTES=(xsave sgx)
+  for d in crates/*/ ; do ; cd "$d"
+    for p in ${UPDATED_PREREQUISTES[@]]}; do
+      cargo update -p "${p}"
+    done
+  done
+  for p in ${UPDATED_PREREQUISTES[@]]}; do cargo update -p ${p}; done
+  ```
+- Run unit tests
+  ```bash
+  cargo clean
+  cargo build --release
+  cargo test
+  ```
+- Check cargo manifest
+  ```bash
+  cargo package --allow-dirty -l
+  ```
+- Check if cargo successfully builds with dry run
+  ```bash
+  cd crates/shim-kvm; cargo publish --allow-dirty --dry-run -v --target x86_64-unknown-none; cd ..
+  cd shim-sgx; cargo publish --allow-dirty --dry-run -v --target x86_64-unknown-none; cd ..
+  cd exec-wasmtime; cargo publish --allow-dirty --dry-run -v ; cd ..
+  cd sallyport; cargo publish --allow-dirty --dry-run -v ; cd ../..
+  ```
+- Commit change and push to repo
+  ```bash
+  git commit -asS -m "chore(release): Release v${NEW_VERSION}"
+  git push ${FORK} "release/${NEW_VERSION}"
+  ```
+- Packaging binary dependency crates
+  > **NOTE:** Assuming cargo credentials are cached
+  ```bash
+  cd crates/shim-kvm; cargo publish -v --target x86_64-unknown-none; cd ..
+  cd shim-sgx; cargo publish -v --target x86_64-unknown-none; cd ..
+  cd exec-wasmtime; cargo publish -v ; cd ..
+  cd sallyport; cargo publish -v ; cd ../..
+  ```
+- Update enarx dependencies
+  ```bash
+  export UPDATED_BINDEPS=(enarx-exec-wasmtime enarx-shim-kvm enarx-shim-sgx sallyport)
+  for p in ${UPDATED_PREREQUISTES[@]]}; do
