Working with the wxWidgets release system
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
Process Overview:
|
|
- run build/tools/create-archive.py --compression=all /path/to/output/dir
|
|
- upload release to sf.net
|
|
- update wxwidgets.org
|
|
- promote release on software download sites
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently our release system uses a Python 2.x script to generate releases.
|
|
The script requires Unix utilities such as tar, zip and unix2dos and thus must
|
|
be run either on Unix or using Cygwin on Windows. To generate a release, simply
|
|
run the following command:
|
|
|
|
build/tools/create-archive.py --compression=all /path/to/output/dir
|
|
|
|
This will produce zip, gzip and bzip archives of the tree (without
|
|
"compression" argument only .gz is made). Note that this commands produces huge
|
|
amounts of output so redirecting it to a file is recommended.
|
|
|
|
To add a prefix to the release, such as RC1, the SVN revision, or a date, just
|
|
pass --postfix="postfix" to the script. More info on the options and their
|
|
possible values can be found by calling `create-archive.py --help`.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: You *must* run this script from a clean source tree, that is,
|
|
with no junk files in it or modifications. This is because the
|
|
release should be a pristine copy of the tree as of the time of
|
|
release. If you have legitimate modifications in the tree that need
|
|
to be in the release, commit them first.
