Release Instructions Note: Reviewed for release 1.0.0. Release On any machine Make sure the distributions compile cleanly and the tests don't fail. On a machine that doesn't build regularly: Blow away old installation. Check out clean copy. Modify the project version in the top-level CMakeLists.txt file. Modify the 'news' section in the 'index.dox' file. (Possibly) delete retired directory. Update LICENSE information by running cmake with GBX_BUILD_LICENSE=ON. Shunt everything down in 'doc/history.dox'. Delete any temporary files created by an editor. Check in those changes. Tag the distributions, eg with: $ svn copy https://gearbox.svn.sf.net/svnroot/gearbox/gearbox/trunk https://gearbox.svn.sf.net/svnroot/gearbox/gearbox/tags/RELEASE_9.02 -m 'Tagging release 9.02' Delete all .svn directories (eg with 'find . -name .svn | xargs rm -rf') Create tar-ball, named eg. 'gearbox-9.02.tar.gz' Now the tar-ball is ready to roll. But first test that the original untars and builds cleanly. Copy the tar-ball to a machine with external access. On a machine with external access: sftp [USERNAME]@frs.sf.net cd uploads 'put' the tarball Create a new distro through the sourceforge web interface Login a project administrator (Go through "'Admin' -> 'File Releases'" from the GearBox project page) Update the web page Use the script: <distro>/doc/rebuild_docco.sh Increment the version numbers (eg '9.02' -> '9.02+') in the top-level CMakeLists.txt files.
