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.
