How to make an MPlayer release ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ preparations: - Announce release target date on dev-eng and #mplayerdev - Ask the DOCS maintainers to commit their final changes, check if all docs are up to date, etc. - Verify man page, remove obsolete options, mention new ones. - Ask translation maintainers to update their help_mp*.h file. - Update the ChangeLog file (according to Subversion log), ask other developers to verify their parts, etc. Ask Diego to spellcheck it. - Consult at -dev-eng about unstable parts of the code which should be disabled for the release. - Find a codename for the release create the release tree: - tag Subversion with release name - Add a VERSION file with the release version to the root of the source tree. - update release.sh script with version number ***the following steps are done automatically by release.sh script*** - checkout the mplayer src tree - check out FFmpeg subdirs - remove obsolete DOCS translations, help files - build the HTML docs from XML sources, then clean up: make html-chunked; make releaseclean release the tree: cd .. mv main MPlayer-0.90rc5 tar -cf MPlayer-0.90rc5.tar MPlayer-0.90rc5 bzip2 -9 MPlayer-0.90rc5.tar ***end of part done by release.sh** test it (download to your local machine, extract, compile, run) - compilers: gcc 4.x, gcc 3.x, gcc 2.95, MinGW, Cygwin - architectures: PPC, AMD64, x86 with MMX[2], SSE[2], 3DNow - OS: Linux, BSD, Windows, Mac OS X copy to FTP: cp MPlayer-0.90rc5.tar.bz2 /home/ftp/MPlayer/releases/ cp ChangeLog-0.90rc5 and update ChangeLog symlink md5sum MPlayer-0.90rc5.tar.bz2 > MPlayer-0.90rc5.tar.bz2.md5 move the older (pre)release(s) (except the last one before the current one) to ../OLD_stuff/ dir Somehow get Diego to write a news entry for the release, and update the source file of dload.html and commit it. Test it, it's sometimes buggy (broken links etc). Also, update translated versions of dload.html. Send a message to mplayer-announce mailing list. Add the new release version to bugzilla page. Update release version in #mplayer topic Update project page on Freshmeat Done.
