Thanks for fixing some of the docs already, David. Some questions remaining:
> - Set your Java version to be the lowest specified of our supported versions. > e.g. J2SDK 1.4.0 See my ealier posting on this. > - Run 'build release-dist' to generate the distributions on a UNIX machine. > - Two archives are created: apache-forrest-X.Y.tar.gz > apache-forrest-X.Y.zip > > - Repeat that on a Windows machine. > - Use the .tar.gz from the UNIX machine and .zip from the Windows machine. > - In that way, SVN will ensure correct line-endings on all text files. This doesn't look right but I may be wrong: - Run 'build release-dist' to generate the distributions on a UNIX machine. An archive apache-forrest-X.Y.tar.gz is created. - Run 'build release-dist' to generate the distributions on a Windows machine. An archive apache-forrest-X.Y.zip is created. > - Use the .tar.gz from the UNIX machine and .zip from the Windows machine. > - In that way, SVN will ensure correct line-endings on all text files. Use for what? Should it be something like "Use tar.gz for installing the test release on a unix machine and zip for installing it in Windows machines." > - In that way, SVN will ensure correct line-endings on all text files. What has svn to do with it at that point? > - Create a maintenance branch in SVN with > svn copy -m "Create the x.y release branch from r#####" \ > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/forrest/trunk \ > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/forrest/branches/forrest_xy_branch > where 'xy' is a compact form of the version (e.g. 04, 041, 05). > See http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/forrest/branches/ So is r###### to be replaced by the current dev-release number (0.7-dev). To be continued once I've read some more :-) -- Ferdinand Soethe
