Revision as of 13:53, 22 July 2006

Release organization

  1. All patches important for 2.0.4 should be submitted by the end of June.
  2. New branch for the release will be created from the fixes branch on the 2nd July (Sunday) before lunch. Once the branch is ready, I'll announce it here. Everybody can start to build release candidate of his platforms (version number in file names should be appended with "-rcN") at that moment (I'll try to keep track of who is doing what in Wiki). URL of SVN branch for release candidate 1 is http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/tags/release_2_0_4_rc1/ (note that with svn+ssh: protocol this becomes svn+ssh://svn.freepascal.org/FPC/svn/fcpbuild/tags/release_2_0_4_rc1/).
  3. As much as possible should be tested and fixed by July 15 (Saturday). However, fixes are not applied to the release branch, but rather just marked with "2.0.4 fix:" in SVN comment (and merged to the fixes branch as appropriate). Please, make sure that only real fixes are marked this way, no last moment "features" this time (once again, all required features should be committed before end of June).
  4. Encountered issues (and their status) should be documented here.
  5. I'll merge the marked patches to the release branch on July 16 (Sunday), announce it and then the new testing cycle can start. As soon as no major issues are encountered, real release will be published.

Release procedure (Release Template)

Note that detailed information for some tasks can be found in Release engineering. These two pages should be eventually merged (or probably rather better interlinked) in the future.
