1 how to make an mplayer release | |
2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
3 | |
4 preparations: | |
5 - ask the DOCS maintainers to commit their final changes, check if | |
6 all docs is uptodate etc | |
7 - verify manpage, remove obsolete options, mention new ones | |
8 - ask translation maintainers to update their help_mp*.h file | |
9 - update teh ChangeLog file (according to cvs log), ask other developers | |
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. | |
