Instructions for Apache-Test Release Manager
0. Ask the PMC to verify that you have the appropriate CPAN permissions
on test-dev@.
1. 'make dist' - to make sure nothing is missing from the manifest,
etc. Now test this generated package (not svn) with as many
configurations as possible on as many platforms as possible.
a. edit ./Changes:
- change -dev to -rc\d+ starting with -rc1
- note that you *do not* want to change the version in Apache/Test.pm,
this is a significant difference than other Apache::* modules.
this means that development proceeds with non '-dev' or '-rc1' version
tags, so keep that in mind.
b. nuke any preinstalled Apache-Test libs and run 'make test'
c. test that you can 'make install' and then run 'make test' again
d. test whether we still 100% OK on systems with no LWP:
% APACHE_TEST_PRETEND_NO_LWP=1 make test
2. once confident that the package is good, upload a release candidate
to perl.apache.org/~username and post 24 hour-ish candidate alert
to the various lists. note that you will need to be subscribed to
all of the following lists.
o test-dev/perl.apache.org
o dev/perl.apache.org
o modperl/perl.apache.org
o dev/httpd.apache.org
(or maybe longer to give most people a chance to catch up). no need
to tag this package
Subject: [RELEASE CANDIDATE] Apache-Test-1.38 RC\d+
a. if problems are detected during stage 2, repeat stages 1 and 2.
3. when the package has been reported to be good, prepare a new
package to be released
a. edit ./Changes:
- remove -rc\d+
- add release date
b. rerun:
% perl Makefile.PL
make sure tag looks right
% make -n tag
c. commit Changes
% svn ci Changes
d. tag
% make tag
e. create the final package
% make dist
f. test the final package again at least once
4. Upload the package to CPAN
5. Announce the package
a. post ... to the modperl, announce lists
Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Apache-Test 1.38
include
- MD5 sig (as it comes from CPAN upload announce).
- the latest Changes
6. Prepare for the next cycle
a. increment version in lib/Apache/Test.pm
b. edit ./Changes:
- start a new item with incremented version + '-dev'
=item 1.39-dev
c. bump up version numbers in this file to make it easier to do the
next release.
$ perl -pi -e 's/(\d+)\.(\d+)/join(".", $1, $2+1)/eg' RELEASE
d. commit Changes
% svn ci -m "start 1.39-dev cycle" Changes RELEASE lib/Apache/Test.pm
