To release a new distribution, publish the tarball on
|
various places and send an announcement to the
<announcement@logreport.org> mailinglist, stating the
most interesting new features. Furthermore, add a newsitem to the
news list of the website. We'll describe how to upload
the tarball to various places.
Upload the tarball to the LogReport webserver like this:
$ scp lire-20001211.tar.gz hibou.logreport.org:/var/www/logreport.org/pub/
On hibou, do:
$ cd /var/www/logreport.org/pub
$ chown .www lire-20010525.tar.gz
$ chmod g+w lire-20010525.tar.gz
$ tar zxf lire-20001211.tar.gz
$ rm current && ln -s lire-20001211 current
$ rm current.tar.gz && ln -s lire-20001211.tar.gz current.tar.gz
$ rm -rf lire-20001205
$ mv lire-20001205.tar.gz archive
Update the README.txt file: Run
$ cd /var/www/logreport.org/pub $ ( echo \ 'current is the latest official release'; echo; ls -lF c* ) > README.txtCheck the symlink to the documentation stuff in the tarball. Check if the stuff in http://logreport.org/pub/docs is still up to date. |
