| 7 | The intention of this section is to serve as both a cheat sheet while making a |
|---|
| 8 | release and to formalize the release building process. A more formal release |
|---|
| 9 | procedure should help avoid making stupid misstakes and hopefully improve the |
|---|
| 10 | quality of the releases. All in all, doesn't everyone love processes? |

|---|
| 12 | I.II. The release procedure |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | * start with a clean workspace, e.g. use File->Switch Workspace and switch to |
|---|
| 15 | an empty folder |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | * checkout (as Plugin-Projects) from whatever branch/revision you want to make |
|---|
| 18 | a release: |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | - org.modelica.mdt |
|---|
| 21 | - org.modelica.mdt.tests |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | * run the regression tests |
|---|
| 24 | If some of the tests fail, go back to the drawing board. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | * remove all projects from the workspace |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | * make a version tag in the repository |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | * checkout from version tag location in the repository: |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | - org.modelica.mdt |
|---|
| 33 | - org.modelica.mdt.feature |
|---|
| 34 | - org.modelica.mdt.site |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | * update version number in org.modelica.mdt/plugin.xml |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | * run 'PDE tools'->'Build site' from the context menu of |
|---|
| 39 | org.modelica.mdt.site/site.xml |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | * export the update site to a public webserver, use 'Export'->'File System' |
|---|
| 42 | wizard. Make sure that both features and plugin directories are exported. |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | * test with a clean eclipse installation that the MDT-plugin installs correctly |
|---|
| 45 | from the update site. Use the Help->'Software Updates'->'Find and Install...' |
|---|
| 46 | Check that it runs as expected. |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | * enjoy the release party! |
