|
+# How to release GRASS GIS binaries and source code
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*Note: Some steps in this text are to be done by the development coordinator (currently Markus Neteler, PSC Chair) due to needed logins.*
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## HOWTO create a release
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Preparations
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Check examples if still compiling
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
+( cd doc/raster/r.example/ ; make clean ; make )
|
|
|
+( cd doc/vector/v.example/ ; make clean ; make )
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Fix typos in source code with
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
+tools/fix_typos.sh
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### i18N: sync from Transifex
|
|
|
+See https://www.transifex.com/grass-gis/grass7/dashboard/
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Exception Latvian as Latvian is directly edited in git and then sync'ed from master .po files
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
+cd locale
|
|
|
+sh ~/software/grass_addons_git/tools/transifex_merge.sh
|
|
|
+make
|
|
|
+make verify
|
|
|
+# ... then fix .po files as needed.
|
|
|
+#
|
|
|
+# requires https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/3539
|
|
|
+## after that push fixes to transifex:
|
|
|
+#cd locale/transifex/
|
|
|
+#tx --debug push -t
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Update of configure base files
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*Only allowed in RC cycle, not for final release!*
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Check that autoconf scripts are up-to-date:
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
+rm -f config.guess config.sub
|
|
|
+wget http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.guess
|
|
|
+wget http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.sub
|
|
|
+git diff config.guess config.sub
|
|
|
+autoconf-2.13
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+Now check if configure still works.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If yes, submit to git:
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
+git add config.guess config.sub configure
|
|
|
+git checkout -b config_sub_update_r78
|
|
|
+git commit -m"config.guess + config.sub: updated from http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/" config.guess config.sub configure
|
|
|
+# test by running ./configure
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+git push origin config_sub_update_r78
|
|
|
+# open PR and merge
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Cleanup leftover rubbish files
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
+rm -f locale/templates/*.pot
|
|
|
+rm -f locale/po/messages.mo
|
|
|
+rm -f demolocation/PERMANENT/.bash*

+Double check:
