steps to create a new release

• check out project into a new branch, say release-x.y.z

• update the WEINRE_VERSION variable in weinre.build/build.properties as appropriate

• add changelog to weinre.doc/ChangeLog.body.html

• fix other doc as necessary

• perform full build with:

  • cd into weinre.build and run ant build-archives

• run the smoke test (see below) to ensure delicious smoky flavor

• upload the archives wherever

• make sure you can download those archives!

• commit release changes:

  • git add .
  • git commit -m "update for release x.y.z"

• merge branch onto master:

  • git checkout master
  • git merge --squash release-x.y.z
  • git commit -m "update for release x.y.z"
  • git push
  • git tag -a x.y.z
  • git push --tags

• copy archives into temporary download location

  • currently http://people.apache.org/~pmuellr/weinre/
  • see the update-latest.sh file for an example of automating this

• update npm

  • run cd weinre.build
  • run npm publish

• update apache cms pages:

  • not ready for prime time

• prepare for blessed Apache version

  • not sure how to do this yet

smoke test

The smoke test involves testing the archives:

• apache-cordova-weinre-{VERSION}-bin.{ARCHIVE}
• apache-cordova-weinre-{VERSION}-doc.{ARCHIVE}
• apache-cordova-weinre-{VERSION}-src.{ARCHIVE}

The archives are built via ant build-archives and are available in weinre.build/out/archives.

smoke test - bin

• unzip the -bin archive and cd into it
• run ./weinre --help make sure help works
• run weinre
• in your browser open the main page, eg http://localhost:8080
• poke around the demo, make sure it works
• should add some variations on starting with used port, etc

smoke test - doc

• unzip the -doc archive
• browse all pages

smoke test - src

• unzip the -src archive and cd into it
• run cd weinre.build
• run cp sample.personal.properties personal.properties
• run ant build-archives
• run the smoke test on the built archives, recursively
