<h1>Release Manager's Checklist</h1>

<p><a href="#Introduction">Introduction</a><br>
<a href="#Pre-release">Pre-release activities</a><br>
<a href="#Branch-for-release">CVS Branch for release</a><br>
<a href="#CVS-release">CVS Release</a><br>
<a href="#Distribution">Distribution</a></p>

<h2><a name="Introduction">Introduction</a></h2>
<p>Historically, items on this checklist were accomplished by scripts written 
in Perl, Python, Bash, C++, and as Windows command files, or by point-and-click 
on a FrontPage or other GUI based program. Long term the plan is to move as much 
as possible of these to C++, as 
the one language all Boost developers are comfortable with. </p>
<h2><a name="Pre-release">Pre-release</a> activities</h2>
<ul>
  <li>After discussion on the main list, post the release schedule.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Verify the <i><b>root/index.htm</b></i>, <i><b>root/boost/version.hpp</b></i>, <i><b>root/Jamfile.v2</b></i> and 
  <i><b>root/Jamrules</b></i>
  release numbers are correct and agree. <br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Verify via <a href="mailto:jamboost@yahoogroups.com">jamboost@yahoogroups.com</a> 
  that bjam pre-built executables up-to-date.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Remove the oldest &quot;Latest News&quot; from root/index.htm.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>For each new library added this release:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
  <ul>
    <li>Verify root/index.htm Latest News entry has been made and reads well.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
    <li>Verify root/libs/libraries.htm entry has been made, both in the 
    alphabetic list and in the category lists.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
    <li>Verify the root/libs/xxx directory contains an index.htm or index.html 
    file; either the main docs or a redirection to the main docs. <b><i>To do: 
    automate this.</i></b><br>
&nbsp;</li>
    <li>Skim read the primary docs pages to make sure they meet Boost 
    requirements and guidelines. <b><i>Don't leave this until too late; it has 
    turned up lots of issues in the past.<br>
&nbsp;</i></b></li>
    <li>Generate the header dependency table and update the CVS.<b><i> To do: 
    coordinate with John Maddock's new dependency tools.</i></b></li>
  </ul>
</blockquote>
<ul>
  <li>Monitor
  <a href="http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/inspection_report.html">
  http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/inspection_report.html</a> to 
  verify problems are actively being reduced. Make sure none of the problems are 
  in files the release manager is responsible for.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Monitor regression tests (<a href="http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/inspection_report.html">http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs</a>) 
  to verify that errors are actively being reduced or accounted for on key 
  platforms and compilers.<br>
&nbsp;<ul>
    <li>Boost errors are being actively worked on by library maintainers.</li>
    <li>Compiler or standard library errors are at least identified, and 
    preferably reported to the supplier.</li>
    <li>No errors remain uninvestigated or unclassified.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Monitor the developer and user mailing lists to verify that all posted 
  patches are being applied, rejected, or otherwise dealt with.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Monitor the developer and user mailing lists, and the SourceForge bug 
  tracker, to verify that all posted bug reports are being investigated, fixed, 
  rejected, or otherwise dealt with.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Monitor CVS commits to verify that all the expected and/or promised 
  content actually gets committed. Try to get developers to avoid last minute 
  commits of major changes.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="Branch-for-release">CVS Branch for release</a></h2>
<ul>
  <li>Pre-release activities complete enough to justify branch-for-release?<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Everybody happy?<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Branch for release:<ul>
  <li>Tag the main trunk&nbsp; <code>merged_to_RC_n_n_n</code>.</li>
  <li>Branch the main trunk with the tag <code>RC_n_n_n</code>.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
  </li>
  <li>Post notice on main list.&nbsp;Remind developers that fixes which apply 
  to both Main Trunk and Branch have to be committed separately to both.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="CVS-release">CVS Release</a></h2>
<ul>
  <li>Pre-release activities all complete?<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Post notice to make sure all developers ready.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Tag: WinCVS: Select site, then tag (Modify|Create tag..., toolbar T on doc). New 
  tag name: Version_1_21_2 (or whatever). If prior release failed, select 
  &quot;overwrite existing tags with the same name&quot;.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="Distribution">Distribution</a></h2>
<p>These procedures are given for a particular release manager's machine. The 
plan is to replace them with more generic procedures over time.</p>
<ul>
  <li>Create folders for export:<br>
  <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; c:\boost\boost_1_28_0<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; c:\boost\temp\boost_1_28_0<br>
  <br>
  Note that several batch files assume these locations and naming schemes.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Export Win32 distribution: WinCVS | Remote | Checkout Module<br>
  <br>
  Checkout settings: module name and path on the server: boost, local folder to 
  checkout to: c:\boost\boost_1_28_0<br>
  <b><i>[for 1.29.0 export, put everything in a boost_1_29_0/boost subdirectory.&nbsp; 
  Experiments with 1.30.0 tried boost/boost as the path on server, but that just 
  resulted in getting the boost header subdirectory only.]</i></b><br>
  <br>
  Checkout options: (check) By revision/tab/branch: Version_1_28_0, (check) Do 
  not create CVS directories (export)<br>
  <br>
  This results in the follow command: cvs -z9 export -r Version_1_28_0 boost (in 
  directory C:\boost\boost_1_28_0)<br>
  <br>
  (takes about ten minutes)<br>
  <br>
  (rename boost-root if needed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Export Unix distribution: similar to above, except target is c:\boost\temp\boost_1_28_0 
  and set global for UNIX nl.<br>
  &nbsp;</li>
  <li>!!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT: WinCVS | Set Preferences | Global back to non-UNIX nl. 
  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Add regression results web pages into package (new in 1.33 so this is just a shot at the process - jeff)<br>
    download all the regression results from website (may need meta-comm help on this)<br>
    unpack the regression results into tools/regression/latest_release<br>
    <br>

  </li>
  <li>General ZIP and TAR.GZ files<br>
  <br>
  n_n_n is 1_28_0 or whatever<br>
  <br>
  cd \boost<br>
  boost_zip 1_21_2 (creates zip.log) <br>
  boost_tar_gz 1_21_2<br>
  bash<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
  gunzip -c boost_1_21_2.tar.gz | bzip2 &gt; boost_1_21_2.tar.bz2<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; exit<br>
  &nbsp;</li>
  <li>Upload and unpack the .zip release candidate to a SourceForge web services 
  sub-directory. Post a message to the main list asking developers to check 
  contents. (Daniel Frey has volunteered to help check).<br>
&nbsp;</li>
  <li>Upload files for SourceForge release incoming directory using <b>WS_FTP Pro</b><ul>
  <li>Start keep_isdn_awake</li>
  <li>Connection: SourceForge Release Upload | connect</li>
  <li>Select Local system: c:\boost</li>
  <li>Select Remote system: /incoming</li>
  <li>Drag-and-drop the three release files from Local system to Remote system</li>
  <li>Disconnect</li>
  <li>Stop keep_isdn_awake<br>
&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
  </li>
