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.
