<h2><a id="section-1" name="section-1">1. Introduction</a></h2>
|
||
|
||
<p> This is the procedure for building a generic release of the Memory
|
||
Pool System (an “MPS Kit”) from the version sources. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p> The intended readership of this document is Ravenbrook development
|
||
staff. (If you are a user of the MPS, and want to build object code
|
||
from an MPS Kit, please see the <code>readme.txt</code> file in the
|
||
kit.) </p>
|
||
|
||

<h2><a id="section-2" name="section-2">2. Procedure</a></h2>
|
||
|
||
<h3><a id="section-2.1" name="section-2.1">2.1. Setting up for release</a></h3>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
|
||
<li><p> Choose a <i>RELEASE</i> name of the form <i>VERSION.N</i> (for
|
||
example, 0.3.0), where <i>VERSION</i> is the number of the version
|
||
you’re releasing, and <i>N</i> is the first unused release number
|
||
(starting at zero). Look in the index of releases
|
||
(<code>release/index.html</code>) for existing release numbers for
|
||
your version. </p> <blockquote> <code> VERSION=<i>VERSION</i> <br>
|
||
RELEASE=$VERSION.<i>N</i> </code> </blockquote> </li>
|
||
|
||
<li><p> Ensure that the HTML version of the manual is up to date on the version branch: </p> <blockquote> <code>pushd version/$VERSION/manual <br> make checkin <br> popd</code> </blockquote> <p> If this fails with the error <code>make: sphinx-build: No such file or directory</code> then you need to install the Sphinx documentation system [<a title="Sphinx: Python document generator" href="http://sphinx-doc.org/">2</a>] and its dependencies (version 1.1.3 or later). On OS X with MacPorts you can install it like this: </p> <blockquote> <code> sudo port install py27-sphinx <br> sudo port select --set sphinx py27-sphinx </code> </blockquote> </li>
|
||
|
||
<li><p> Ensure that <code>version/$VERSION/readme.txt</code>
|
||
contains an up-to-date description of the release you intend to build
|
||
and the correct release name. </p> </li>
|
||
|
||
<li><p> In <code>version/$VERSION/code/version.c</code>,
|
||
set <code>MPS_RELEASE</code> to the correct value (see the rules in
|
||
the comments), and check strings that contain copyright dates,
|
||
etc. </p> </li>
|
||
|
||
<li><p> <strong>Submit <code>readme.txt</code>,
|
||
<code>version.c</code>, and other changed files to Perforce before you
|
||
continue.</strong> </p></li>
|
||
|
||
<li><p> Determine the <i>CHANGELEVEL</i> at which you’re going to make
|
||
the release. This will usually be the latest submitted changelevel on
|
||
the version branch; to get it, use <code>p4 changes</code> with a max
|
||
of 1 (one):</p> <blockquote> <code>CHANGELEVEL=$(p4 changes -m 1
|
||
version/$VERSION/... | cut -d' ' -f2)</code> </blockquote> </li>
|
||
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h3><a id="section-2.2" name="section-2.2">2.2. Pre-release testing</a></h3>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
|
||
<p> Sync the version sources to precisely the <i>CHANGELEVEL</i> you
|
||
determined in step 2.1.1, with no extraneous files, by using the
|
||
following procedure: </p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote> <code>
|
||
# (you may wish to check for opened files first)<br />
|
||
p4 revert version/$VERSION/...<br />
|
||
rm -rf version/$VERSION <br />
|
||
p4 sync -f version/$VERSION/...@$CHANGELEVEL
|
||
</code> </blockquote>
|
||
|
||
<p> Note: <code>revert</code> and <code>sync -f</code> are required, otherwise p4-opened or forced-writeable files may remain or be omitted; see [<a href="#ref-1">1</a>]. </p>
|
||
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li><p> Run the test suite: </p> <blockquote> <code> (cd version/$VERSION && ./configure && make test) </code> </blockquote> <p> Check that the test suite passes. </li>
|
||
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h3><a id="section-2.3" name="section-2.3">2.3. MPS Kit Tarball and Zip file</a></h3>
|
||
|
||
<p> On a Unix box: </p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
|
||
<p> Sync the version sources to <i>CHANGELEVEL</i> by repeating the
|
||
procedure from step 2.2.1: </p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote> <code>
|
||
p4 revert version/$VERSION/...<br />
|
||
rm -rf version/$VERSION <br />
|
||
p4 sync -f version/$VERSION/...@$CHANGELEVEL
|
||
</code> </blockquote>
|
||
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
|
||
<p> Create a tarball and a zip file containing the MPS sources, and
|
||
open it for add: </p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote><code>
|
||
KIT=mps-kit-$RELEASE <br />
|
||
cp -R version/$VERSION $KIT <br />
|
||
mkdir -p release/$RELEASE<br />
|
||
tar cf - $KIT | gzip -c > release/$RELEASE/$KIT.tar.gz <br />
|
||
zip -r release/$RELEASE/$KIT.zip $KIT <br/>
|
||
rm -r $KIT <br />
|
||
p4 add release/$RELEASE/$KIT.tar.gz <br/>
|
||
p4 add release/$RELEASE/$KIT.zip
|
||
</code></blockquote>
|
||
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li> <p> Submit the release files to Perforce with the comment “MPS:
|
||
adding the MPS Kit tarball and zip file for
|
||
release <i>RELEASE</i>.” </p> </li>
|
||
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h3><a id="section-2.4" name="section-2.4">2.4. Registering the release</a></h3>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
|
||
<li><p> Edit the index of releases (<code>release/index.html</code>)
|
||
and add the release to the table, in a manner consistent with previous
|
||
releases. </p></li>
|
||
|
||
<li><p> Edit the index of versions (<code>version/index.html</code>)
|
||
and add the release to the list of releases for <i>VERSION</i>, in a
|
||
manner consistent with previous releases. </p></li>
|
||
|

<li><p> Submit these changes with the comment “MPS: registered release
|
||
<i>RELEASE</i>.” </p></li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|

<p>
|

Edit the main MPS Project index page (<code>index.html</code>),
|

to refer to the new release:

</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li> update links to “the latest release” or “download” (important);
