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 CVS 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 cvs with release name - update release.sh script with version number ***the following steps are done automatically by release.sh script*** - cvs checkout the mplayer src tree - check out libavcodec and libavformat from FFmpeg CVS - remove the CVS subdirs: find main -name CVS -exec rm -rf {} \; - remove the .cvsignore files: find main -name .cvsignore -exec rm {} \; - remove obsolete DOCS translations, help files - replace version.sh with this (change version number too...): ============ #!/bin/sh echo "#define VERSION \"1.0pre5-$1 \"" > version.h ============ - 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 3, gcc 2.95, mingw, cygwin - architectures: PPC, AMD64, x86 with MMX[2], SSE[2], 3DNow - OS: Linux, BSD, Windows, MacOS 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.
