1 Roundup
2 =======
4 1. Building Releases
5 ====================
7 Roundup is currently a source-only release - it has no binary components. I
8 want it to stay that way, too.
10 This means that we only need to ever build source releases. This is done by
11 running:
13 0. Edit setup.py and doc/announcement.txt to reflect the new version and
14 appropriate announcments.
15 1. python setup.py clean --all
16 2. Edit setup.py to ensure that all information therein (version, contact
17 information etc) is correct.
18 3. python setup.py sdist --manifest-only
19 4. Check the MANIFEST to make sure that any new files are included. If
20 they are not, edit MANIFEST.in to include them. "Documentation" for
21 MANIFEST.in may be found in disutils.filelist._parse_template_line.
22 5. python setup.py sdist
23 (if you find sdist a little verbose, add "--quiet" to the end of the
24 command)
26 So, those commands in a nice, cut'n'pasteable form :)
27 python setup.py clean --all
28 python setup.py sdist --manifest-only
29 python setup.py sdist --quiet
31 or, for the sad RedHat users:
32 python2 setup.py clean --all
33 python2 setup.py sdist --manifest-only
34 python2 setup.py sdist --quiet
37 2. Distributing Releases
38 ========================
40 Once a release is built, follow these steps:
41 1. FTP the tar.gz from the dist directory to to the "incoming" directory on
42 "upload.sourceforge.net".
43 2. Make a quick release at:
44 http://sourceforge.net/project/admin/qrs.php?package_id=&group_id=31577
45 3. Add a news item at:
46 https://sourceforge.net/news/submit.php?group_id=31577
47 using the top of doc/announcement.txt
48 4. Send doc/announcement.txt to python-announce@python.org
49 5. Notify any other news services as appropriate...
