Hi folks,
a few words about the 0.60 release announced on yade-dev. I imagine this
scenario:
* wait a few days to sort out packaging issues, commiting all changes to
lp:yade/0.60. Make packages versioned 0.60rc1 and similar.
* at some point, create _one and the only_ tarball yade-0.60.tar.gz.
This will be subsequently used to build all debian packages as upstream
source tarball (including updates to 0.60 if necessary), so that only
differences are then uploaded.
* build packages for some distros (lucid, maverick; anything else?),
make sure they are functional. Copy them over to ~yade-users/ppa, since
they are stable (or create "releases" ppa in yade-pkg).
* announce the release, drink some wine.
* go ahead breaking trunk for next 4 months.
I put these steps to the TODO section of
https://yade-dem.org/wiki/Release_0.6, feel free to write comments etc.
I also created "Release mini-HOWTO" section there, to record steps
necessary to make the release; it should make it much easier next time.
Put things like "create RELEASE file", run "scripts/debian-prep", run
build-farm, whatever.
Cheers, Vaclav
