How to make an MPlayer release
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
preparations:
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
create the release tree:
|
|
- cvs checkout the mplayer src tree
|
|
- if releasing from 'main', check out libavcodec 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
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
release the tree:
|
|
cd ..
|
|
mv main MPlayer-0.90rc5
|
|
tar -cf MPlayer-0.90rc5.tar MPlayer-0.90rc5
|
|
bzip2 -9 MPlayer-0.90rc5.tar
|
|
|
|
test it (download to your local machine, extract, compile, run)
|
|
|
|
copy to FTP:
|
|
cp MPlayer-0.90rc5.tar.bz2 /home/ftp/MPlayer/releases/
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
Done.
