release 0.60

 

Hi folks,

a few words about the 0.60 release announced on yade-dev. I imagine this scenario:

* wait a few days to sort out packaging issues, commiting all changes to lp:yade/0.60. Make packages versioned 0.60rc1 and similar. * at some point, create _one and the only_ tarball yade-0.60.tar.gz. This will be subsequently used to build all debian packages as upstream source tarball (including updates to 0.60 if necessary), so that only differences are then uploaded. * build packages for some distros (lucid, maverick; anything else?), make sure they are functional. Copy them over to ~yade-users/ppa, since they are stable (or create "releases" ppa in yade-pkg).
* announce the release, drink some wine.
* go ahead breaking trunk for next 4 months.

I put these steps to the TODO section of https://yade-dem.org/wiki/Release_0.6, feel free to write comments etc.

I also created "Release mini-HOWTO" section there, to record steps necessary to make the release; it should make it much easier next time. Put things like "create RELEASE file", run "scripts/debian-prep", run build-farm, whatever.

Cheers, Vaclav
