Boost.Build V2 release procedure.
[ Must be done from a Unix shell ]
0. Look for all issues for current milestone in the tracker. Close the fixed one,
if not already closed. Move to a later milestone, or fix all the unfixed
ones.
Make sure that "bjam --version" output is correct. Update version string if
needed. Update bjam version and the version check is necessary.
Check the download locations in "index_v2.html". Check that "last modified"
strings in docs are correct.
1. Make sure you don't have any local modification, and tag the CVS tree with
Milestone_X tag.
2. Run
cvs -d :ext:<your_user_name>@cvs.boost.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost co -r
Milestone_X -P -d boost-build boost/tools/build
Note: it turns out that anonymous CVS access uses some backup server, which
is not up-to-date.
3. Go to "boost-build/v2" directory.
4. Run "./roll.sh". This will create "boost-build.zip" and
"boost-build.tar.bz2" in parent directory, and also upload
new docs to sourceforge.
5. Unpack "boost-build.tar.bz2", and build jam.
6. Go to "test" and copy "test-config.jam.in" to "test-config.jam". Run gcc
tests:
python test_all.py gcc
7. Build all projects in examples-v2, using the bjam binary created at step 4.
Note: "threading=multi" might be needed to build QT examples.
8. Announce the release, etc.
9. Update the "next milestone query" in the tracker.
