Release Instructions Note: Reviewed for release 2.9.0. Release On any machine Make sure the distributions compile cleanly and the tests don't fail. On a machine that doesn't build regularly (eg bamboo): Blow away old installations of orca/hydro. Check out clean copies of orca/hydro. Modify the project versions in the top-level CMakeLists.txt files. Modify the 'news' sections in the 'index.dox' files. Delete src/retired directory. Update LICENSE information by running cmake with BUILD_LICENSE=ON and BUILD_SANDBOX=ON. Shunt everything down in 'todo.dox'. Delete any temporary files created by an editor. Check in those changes. Tag the distributions, eg with: hydro: $ svn copy --username [USERNAME] https://orca-robotics.svn.sf.net/svnroot/orca-robotics/hydro/trunk https://orca-robotics.svn.sf.net/svnroot/orca-robotics/hydro/tags/RELEASE_2.7.0 -m 'Tagging release 2.7.0' orca: $ svn copy --username [USERNAME] https://orca-robotics.svn.sf.net/svnroot/orca-robotics/orca/trunk https://orca-robotics.svn.sf.net/svnroot/orca-robotics/orca/tags/RELEASE_2.7.0 -m 'Tagging release 2.7.0' Delete all .svn directories (eg with 'find . -name .svn | xargs rm -rf') Create tar-balls of these distributions, named eg. 'hydro-2.7.0.tar.gz' and 'orca-2.7.0.tar.gz' Now the tar-balls are ready to roll. But first test that the originals build cleanly. Copy the tar-balls to a machine with external access (eg lowrider). From eg lowrider: ftp to upload.sf.net (anonymous login) cd /incoming 'put' both tarballs Create the distros through the sourceforge web interface (Go through "'Admin' -> 'File Releases'" from the Orca project page) Update the web page Use the script: <distro>/doc/updatesfweb Increment the version numbers (eg '2.7.0' -> '2.7.0+') in the top-level CMakeLists.txt files. Add a new section for 'since last release' changes to the history files.
