-1. Building Releases
-====================
+Building Releases
+=================
Roundup is currently a source-only release - it has no binary components. I
want it to stay that way, too.
This means that we only need to ever build source releases. This is done by
running:
- 1. Edit setup.py to ensure that all information therein (version, contact
- information etc) is correct.
- 2. ./setup.py sdist -o
- 3. Check the MANIFEST to make sure that any new files are included. If
- they are not, edit MANIFEST.in to include them. "Documentation" for
- MANIFEST.in may be found in disutils.filelist._parse_template_line.
- 4. ./setup.py sdist
- 5. FTP the tar.gz from the dist directory to to the "incoming" directory on
- "upload.sourceforge.net".
- 6. Make a quick release at:
- http://sourceforge.net/project/admin/qrs.php?package_id=&group_id=31577

+1. Make sure the unit tests run! "./run_tests"
+2. Edit roundup/__init__.py and doc/announcement.txt to reflect the new
+ version and appropriate announcements. Add truncated announcement to
+ setup.py description field.
+3. Tag the CVS with a release tag (ie. 'release-N-N-N')
+4. python setup.py clean --all
+5. Edit setup.py to ensure that all information therein (version, contact
+ information etc) is correct.
+6. python setup.py sdist --manifest-only
+7. Check the MANIFEST to make sure that any new files are included. If
+ they are not, edit MANIFEST.in to include them. "Documentation" for
+ MANIFEST.in may be found in disutils.filelist._parse_template_line.
+8. python setup.py sdist
+ (if you find sdist a little verbose, add "--quiet" to the end of the
+ command)
+
+So, those commands in a nice, cut'n'pasteable form::
+
+ python setup.py clean --all
+ python setup.py sdist --manifest-only
+ python setup.py sdist --quiet
+ python2.3 setup.py register
+

+Distributing Releases
+=====================
+
+Once a release is built, follow these steps:
+
+1. FTP the tar.gz from the dist directory to to the "incoming" directory on
+ "upload.sourceforge.net".
+2. Make a quick release at:
+ http://sourceforge.net/project/admin/qrs.php?package_id=&group_id=31577
+3. Add a news item at:
+ https://sourceforge.net/news/submit.php?group_id=31577
+ using the top of doc/announcement.txt
+4. Send doc/announcement.txt to python-announce@python.org
+5. Notify any other news services as appropriate...
