4 preparations:
|
|
|
5 - ask the DOCS maintainers to commit their final changes, check if

|
|
|
10 to verify their parts etc. ask Diego to spellcheck it.
|
|
|
11 - consult at -dev-eng about unstable codes which should be disabled for release
|
|
|
12
|
|
|
13 create the release tree:
|
|
|
14 - cvs checkout the mplayer src tree
|
|
|
15 - if releasing from 'main', checkout libavcodec from ffmpeg cvs
|
|
|
16 - remove teh CVS subdirs:
|
|
|
17 find 0_90 -name CVS -exec rm -rf {} \;
|
|
|
18 - remove the .cvsignore files:
|
|
|
19 find 0_90 -name .cvsignore -exec rm {} \;
|
|
|
20 - remove obsolete DOCS translations, help files
|
|
|
21 - replace version.sh with this (change version number too...):
|
|
|
22 ============
|
|
|
23 #!/bin/sh
|
|
|
24 echo "#define VERSION \"0.90rc5-$1 \"" >version.h
|
|
|
25 ============
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
27 release the tree:
|
|
|
28 cd ..
|
|
|
29 mv main MPlayer-0.90rc5
|
|
|
30 tar -cf MPlayer-0.90rc5.tar MPlayer-0.90rc5
|
|
|
31 bzip2 -9 MPlayer-0.90rc5.tar
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 test it (download to your local machine, extract, compile, run)
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
35 copy to ftp:
|
|
|
36 cp MPlayer-0.90rc5.tar.bz2 /home/ftp/MPlayer/releases/
|
|
|
37
|
|
|
38 move the older (pre)release(s) (except the last one before the current one)
|
|
|
39 to ../old-stuff/ dir
|
|
|
40
|
|
|
41 somehow get Gabu to write a news entry for the release, and update the
|
|
|
42 source file of dload.html and commit it. test it, it's sometimes buggy
|
|
|
43 (broken links etc).
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
45 done.
