I'd really like to get to closure on the current approved release process. Philipp, would you mind separating the release process into a separate file? Or do you mind if I do it?

Done: http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/Sandbox/philikon/foundation/ releasing-software.txt

Cool. I think you can delete 5b. You already update the date, as you should, on the trunk or branch. You want the actual release date to be part of the change log, so it has to be entered before making the tag.

Done.

I think we need to split "d" into:

 d) "Create a source release"

e) Test the source release. At a minimum, rerun the package tests using the source release.
      (I really need to add a buildout option to help with this.)

So how would I do this? This feels a bit complicated:

  1. Create a source distribution with::

       $ python setup.py sdist

  2. Extract the tarball::

       $ tar xzf dist/foo.package-X.Y.tgz

3. Edit buildout.cfg to make the result of the tarball a develop egg *instead* of
     the stuff in 'src'::

       [buildout]
       develop = foo.package-X.Y

  4. Rerun the buildout::

       $ bin/buildout

  5. Run the tests::

       $ bin/test



f) If the package has extensions, make and test a windows egg. (You may need to get someone with the needed Windows tools to help you with this. :)

  f) Upload the release(s) to PyPI
