How to release kipi & co.
----------------------------------------
1. Before the final release
2. Release libkipi
3. Release libkexiv2
4. Release kipi-plugins
5. Notes on svn2cl
6. Notes on new release script (create_tarball.rb)
----------------------------------------
1. Before the final release
----------------------------------------
Some days before releasing the final, remember to announce
the translations commit deadline to kde-i18-doc@kde.org.
----------------------------------------
2. Release libkipi
----------------------------------------
a) Update release info
libkipi/libkipi.lsm
libkipi/libkipi/version.h
libkipi/libkipi.pc.in
To do that you can use the "prepare_libkipi.rb" script, change the
release version ("version" and "version_n" fields) and run it.
Don't forget to commit your changes :)
b) Update Changelog
- to do that use the "release_kipi_changelog.sh" script
release_kipi_changelog.sh libkipi oldest-revision-or-date new-release-version
- edit Changelog and modify the wrong lines (if any)
- Commit your changes
c) Build the source tarball
- go into makerelease directory
- run "create_tarball.rb -p libkipi -v X.Y.Z"
with X.Y.Z as the right package version
or
- use the "release_libkipi.rb"
edit the script and change the "version" field
if you're releasing an svn snapshot set "usesvnver" to "yes"
run it and get libkipiXXX.tar.bz2
d) Uncompress and test the tarball
- check if all the files are right in
- check if the file RELEASE.rev is in and with the right revision number
- check if it builds correctly.
- diff headerfiles installed in <incdir>/kde/libkipi/ with last release
and check for binary compatibility (see e.g.,
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/other/binarycompatibility.html)
Every API change should be refleced in a changed version-info in
libkipi/libkipi/Makefile.am (see e.g.,
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html#Versioning)
e) Upload tarball for testing
Before an official release upload the tarball for testing used sites are
digikam3rdparty.free.fr or www.linux.it/~anaselli/kipi-plugins - depends
on who is releasing :)
Send a mail to kde-imaging@kde.org and digikam-devel@kde.org to have a
feedback from pakagers before posting an offical release annoucement.
f) Upload tarbal on SF and update kipi site
official site for uploading the release is http://sourceforge.net/projects/kipi
web page to be update is http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kipi/
to update this last you have to get, change and commit it from
XXX@svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/www/areas/extragear/apps/kipi
Send a mail to announce the official release.
----------------------------------------
3. Release libkexiv2

libkexiv2/ChangeLog
To do that you can use the "prepare_libkexiv2.rb" script, change the
release version ("version", "version_n", "version_info" and "chlog_rev" fields)
and run it.
Don't forget to fix Changelog and commit your changes :)
c) Build the source tarball
- go into makerelease directory
- run "create_tarball.rb -p libkexiv2 -v X.Y.Z"
with X.Y.Z as the right package version
or
- use the "release_libkexiv2.rb"
edit the script and change the "version" field
if you're releasing an svn snapshot set "usesvnver" to "yes"
run it and get libkexiv2XXX.tar.bz2
d) Uncompress and test the tarball
- check if all the files are right in
- check if the file RELEASE.rev is in and with the right revision number
- check if it builds correctly.
- diff headerfiles installed in <incdir>/kde/libkexiv2/ with last release
and check for binary compatibility (see e.g.,
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/other/binarycompatibility.html)
Every API change should be refleced in a changed version-info in
libkexiv2/Makefile.am (see e.g.,
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html#Versioning)

----------------------------------------
5. Notes on svn2cl
----------------------------------------
Latest versions (>= 0.9) of svn2cl offer the --ignore-message-starting option
and --ignore-message-starting=SVN_SILENT should work.
Programmers often write SVN_SILENT or CVS_SILENT (obsolete) everywhere
in the commit comment, that means such an option could not work.
Moreover it can be used only once, so just to skip SVN_SILENT or CVS_SILENT
not both.
The easiest way was to to hack into svn2cl.xsl (mine is /usr/share/svn2cl/svn2cl.xsl).
Add the following lines:
<!-- skip entries where the message contains SVN_SILENT -->
<xsl:template match="logentry[contains(msg,'SVN_SILENT')]">
</xsl:template>
<!-- skip entries where the message contains SILENT -->
<xsl:template match="logentry[contains(msg,'SILENT')]">
</xsl:template>
just before the template:
<!-- format one entry from the log -->
<xsl:template match="logentry">
...
----------------------------------------
6. Notes on new release script (create_tarball.rb)
----------------------------------------
You can find new release script, called create_tarball.rb,
under libs/makerelase directory.
This script makes other release ones obsolete.
Usage: create_tarball [options]
-u, --user USERNAME svn account
-w, --https Using https instead of svn+ssh
-n, --noaccount Using svn://anonsvn.kde.org/ instead of svn+ssh
-p, --package NAME Package name
-v, --version VER Package version
-h, --help Show this usage statement
Package name is mandatory
Package information is into config.ini (same directory as above).
Example of usage:
./create_tarball.rb -p libkexiv2 -v 0.1.7
