The Cherenkov Tele­scope Array (CTA) pro­ject is an in­ter­na­tional ini­tia­tive to build a next gen­er­a­tion ground-based ob­ser­va­tory for very high en­ergy gamma-rays. Three classes of tele­scopes with dif­fer­ent mir­ror size will be lo­cated in the north­ern and south­ern hemi­spheres. The ASTRI mini-ar­ray of CTA pre­pro­duc­tion is one of the small sized tele­scopes mini-ar­rays pro­posed to be in­stalled at the CTA south­ern site. The ASTRI mini-ar­ray will con­sist of nine units based on the end-to-end ASTRI SST-2M pro­to­type al­ready in­stalled on Mt. Etna (Italy). The mini-ar­ray soft­ware sys­tem (MASS) sup­ports the end to end ASTRI SST-2M pro­to­type and miniar­ray op­er­a­tions. The ASTRI soft­ware in­te­gra­tion team de­fined the pro­ce­dures to per­form ef­fec­tively the in­te­gra­tion test and re­lease ac­tiv­i­ties. The de­vel­oper has to prop­erly use the repos­i­tory tree and branches ac­cord­ing to the de­vel­op­ment sta­tus. We re­quire that the soft­ware in­cludes also spe­cific sec­tions for au­to­mated tests and that the soft­ware is well tested (in sim­u­lated and real sys­tem) be­fore any re­lease. Here we pre­sent the method adopted to re­lease the first MASS ver­sion to sup­port the ASTRI SST-2M pro­to­type test and op­er­a­tion ac­tiv­i­ties.

  DIS­COS [*] is a con­trol sys­tem de­vel­oped by the Ital­ian Na­tional In­sti­tute for As­tro­physics (INAF) and cur­rently in use at three radio tele­scope fa­cil­i­ties of Med­i­c­ina, Noto and the Sar­dinia Radio Tele­scope (SRT) [**]. DIS­COS de­vel­op­ment is based on the adop­tion of the ALMA Com­mon Soft­ware (ACS) frame­work. Dur­ing the last two years, be­sides as­sist­ing the as­tro­nom­i­cal com­mis­sion­ing of the newly-built SRT and en­abling its early sci­ence pro­gram, the con­trol sys­tem has un­der­gone some major up­grades. The long-awaited tran­si­tion to a re­cent ACS ver­sion was per­formed, mi­grat­ing the whole code base to 64 bit op­er­a­tive sys­tem and com­pil­ers, ad­dress­ing the ob­so­les­cence prob­lem that was caus­ing a major tech­ni­cal debt to the pro­ject. This op­por­tu­nity al­lowed us to per­form some refac­tor­ing, in order to im­ple­ment im­proved log­ging and re­source man­age­ment. Dur­ing this tran­si­tion the code man­age­ment plat­form was mi­grated to a git-based ver­sion­ing sys­tem and the con­tin­u­ous in­te­gra­tion plat­form was mod­i­fied to ac­com­mo­date these changes. Fur­ther up­grades in­cluded the sys­tem com­ple­tion at Noto and the ex­pan­sion to han­dle new dig­i­tal back­ends.
