|
Make the following directories:
|
|
|
|
|
clean sources-old sources dirty
|
|
|
|
|
and optionally:
|
|
|
|
|
test build done
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Choose version number:
|
|
|
|
|
* remember that RPM is stupid and considers 5.0beta1 newer than
|
|
|
|
|
5.0, so always use "code versions" for the packages. Also
|
|
|
|
|
stuff like "-" etc is not working, so omit it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Checkout branch:
|
|
|
|
|
fix the paths in versions script
|
|
|
|
|
use the checkout script
|
|
|
|
|
clean up the cache/ directory from previous builds
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Update version number
|
|
|
|
|
* */*.lsm
|
|
|
|
|
* arts/configure.in.in
|
|
|
|
|
* kdewebdev/quanta/src/quanta.h
|
|
|
|
|
* kdevelop/configure.in.in
|
|
|
|
|
* kdebase/konqueror/version.h
|
|
|
|
|
* kdebase/startkde
|
|
|
|
|
* kde-common/admin/cvs.sh has VERSION="3.x.x"
|
|
|
|
|
* kdelibs/tdecore/kdeversion.h
|
|
|
|
|
* kdelibs/tdecore/ksycoca.h --> ksycoca version number
|
|
|
|
|
* kdelibs/README
|
|

|
|
* kdenetwork/kopete/libkopete/kopeteversion.h
|
|
|
|
|
* bugs/template/wizard/report.html.tmpl
|
|
|
|
|
* bugs/bugz/wizard_config.pl
|
|
|
|
|
* www/areas/enterprise/bizcase/form.inc (major KDE versions only)
|
|
|
|
|
* for koffice: configure.in.in, lib/kofficecore/kofficeversion.h, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
* common and versions scripts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Update kdepackages in kdelibs/tdeui
|
|
|
|
|
Run "fixuifiles"
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure the meinproc in path is a version of the correct branch
|
|
|
|
|
Use tag_all to get clean sources into "clean" directory (e.g. <releasedir>/clean/koffice)
|
|
|
|
|
Make tarballs using "pack <module>". Start with kde-i18n. Do kdelibs/kdebase last.
|
|
|
|
|
If you have to redo a tarball because of a code change and don't want to wait for meinproc to complete,
|
|
|
|
|
extract the old tarball inside cache/<module> before calling "pack". The docu script will
|
|
|
|
|
then use the version from the cache instead of regenerating it, saving a lot of time.
|
|
|
|
|
Upload tarballs to their final location, as 'ftprelease' user under a src/ directory.
|
|
|
|
|
chmod o-rwx any new dir (so that they're not yet public)
|
|
|
|
|
chmod g+w the new directory where packagers will put their files
|
|
|
|
|
create contrib/ directory and make it g+w for group "packager"
|
|
|
|
|
Test tarballs
|
|
|
|
|
md5sum *.tar.bz2 kde-i18n/*.tar.bz2 > MD5SUMS
|
|
|
|
|
gpg --detach-sign -a MD5SUMS (if you're bored, do it for all files)
|
|
|
|
|
(Note: for KOffice, MD5SUMS should be signed with --clearsign instead of --detach-sign.)
|
|
|
|
|
Prepare a Changelog
|
|
|
|
|
Inform the packagers (kde-packager at kde dot org)
|
|
|
|
|
Ask for/write announcement (on the kde-promo mailing-list)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When everything is ready:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Make directory on the FTP site readable, so that mirrors can start getting it
|
|
|
|
|
Update latest and/or {koffice,kdevelop}-latest symlinks on the FTP site
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- clean up the older releases. Make sure that kdestableftp and kdeunstableftp
|
|
|
|
|
remain in their advertised size limits (~20 GB). Sort out older binary packages,
|
|
|
|
|
add compatibility links.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Enable syncing during the night, so that the uplink can be saturated and
|
|
|
|
|
does not affect interactive server load and network traffic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Pre-notify sysadm@trolltech.com and sysadmin@kde.org about an upcoming release
|
|
|
|
|
so that they can be ready for fixing bandwidth problems, server outages or similiar.
|
|
|
|
|
Its not uncommon that slashdotting affects our server structure, and the right
|
|
|
|
|
people have to know about the release date and time to be able to react in time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When most of the mirrors behind http://download.kde.org have updated:
|
|
|
|
|
Commit announcement (after adding PHP header/footer)
|
|
|
|
|
Add an entry to www/index.php, www/announcements/index.php, www/info/releases.php,
|
|
|
|
|
www/download/index.php and www/whatiskde/project.php
|
