$Id$ Public domain. Notes on putting together the pretest and yearly release --karl. See ./packages.txt for info on regular updates, adding/removing platforms, etc. Coordinate/announce schedule with: maintainers of: engines, LaTeX, GUST font, asymptote, context, texworks other parts of collection: protext, ctan, mactex. general lists Check if pretest mirrors need renewing, talk to mirror admins if so: http://tug.org/texlive/mirmon/ /home/httpd/html/texlive/mirmon/tlpretest-mirrors.txt To stop updating of certain packages before the general freeze: tlpkg/dev/tlnet-disabled-packages.txt I. Preparing, can be done before pretest starts. 1. doc: write updates for pretest.html, leave commented out until start. - check NEWS/CHANGES/etc. files for all engines and major programs. - diff new and old bindirs to see if there are interesting new programs: \ls $lb >/tmp/now \ls $ib >/tmp/new comm -3 /tmp/now /tmp/new >/tmp/cm - if new kpathsea file types (kpsewhich --help-formats), update kpathsea.texi. - see also doc item below for more necessary updates after pretest starts. 2. Ask tldistro for patches. 2. No /dev suffix: Build/source/{version.ac,texk/{kpathsea,ptexenc}/version.ac 3. Check/update copyright years: *.pm, tlmgr*, install-tl, tlpkg/installer 4. Check for upstream releases: {libs,texk,utils}/README 5. When finalizing sources (any time in the new year, can be early, before initial builds in any case), update version numbers, years, and copyright years in: top level version.ac dvipdfm-x:configure.ac dvipdfmx.c xbb.c dvips: configure.ac NEWS dvips.c dvips.h afm2tfm.c dvips.texi kpathsea: version.ac NEWS kpsewhich.c doc/kpathsea.texi texmf.cnf ptexenc: version.ac web2c: NEWS doc/web2c.texi ptexdir/ptex-base.ch,ptex_version.h pdftexdir/pdftex.web pdftexdir/pdftex_version.h then reautoconf (~5min), rebuild (~10min). install-tl, tlmgr.pl (copyright only) check *.c *.h sources in above for needed copyright year updates too. run ~karl/bin/tlversions to see+compare engine/etc. versions commit updates. II. Building pretest instead of regular release. 0. On the day of the last tlnet update, Set frozen=>1 in TLConfig.pm. Freeze should happen at that night's rebuild. 1. Then, the next day, start building tlpretest: Reset frozen=>0 in TLConfig.pm. 1a. Then preserve final tlnet of current release YYYY: cd /home/ftp/texlive/tlnet cp -ar ../tlnet /home/ftp/historic/systems/texlive/YYYY/tlnet-final 1b. Set up tlpretest: Update /home/ftp/texlive/tlpretest/README. Empty tlpretest except for that README and 00_TIME.txt (used for mirmon). 2. Prepare for pretest in cron.tl: critical=--critical # push tlcritical pretest=--pretest # update tlpretest, not tlnet (if not frozen) net_frozen=false # update tlnet|tlpretest (per $pretest) (tlcritical will remain getting updated daily, even though it doesn't work with tlnet any more. That's ok. Or disable if you prefer.) First build happens below, after many more changes; don't start it yet. 3. option adjustrepo 0 in tl-update-tlnet, since pretest users shouldn't go to CTAN for updates. 4. After setting up for pretest (not before), basic updates for release year: Master/.mkisofsrc Master/release-texlive.txt Master/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLConfig.pm -- $ReleaseYear and think about $MinRelease Master/tlpkg/bin/tl-update-images Master/tlpkg/bin/tl-update-messages Master/tlpkg/bin/tl-update-tlnet Master/tlpkg/installer/texlive.png (tlpkg/doc/texlive-installer-graphic.xcf) Master/texmf-dist/web2c/texmfcnf.lua Master/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf # from Build/.../kpathsea 5. Ensure version numbers in sources are updated; see list above. Then install new binaries with tl-update-bindir. Add new executables to appropriate .tlpsrc files (likewise removals). Add new scripts to linked_scripts if not already handled. 6. Run tex \\end to check that mktexfmt works. Also run fmtutil --all to check that all formats build, no config file problems. Ensure that web2c/texmf.cnf is updated for the current year (per above). Then, so things will get redone later as another check: rm -rf ~/.texlive`date +%Y` # the new one 7. Check for Build-maintained updates to config files, etc. (and might have to merge back if Master was mistakenly updated): diff -ru0 --exclude=man --exclude=info \ Build/source/inst/texmf-dist Master/texmf-dist 7a. If new cjk release: cd Master/texmf-dist/doc for p in *conv hbf2gf; do cp /home/ftp/tex-archive/language/chinese/CJK/cjk-X.Y.Z/doc/pdf/$p.pdf $p; done 8. Now, finally, try a first update of tlpretest: force_rebuild=true cron.tl This will fail because pretest is not set up, but that's ok; the idea is to check the output and ensure all is as basically ok. 8a. svn commit all the above. 9. After that trial build looks ok, set in cron.tl: recreate=--recreate # just once! to get catalogue updates, and again: And do: mkdir /home/ftp/texlive/tlpretest/tlpkg touch !$/texlive.tlpdb force_rebuild=true cron.tl 10. After first rebuild success, undo --recreate. Life goes on. A. At some point, after tlnet freeze: Run tl-update-linked-scripts for consistency. In Master/tlpkg, update bundled Windows programs as needed: dviout texworks tlgs tlperl tlpsv In tlpkg/installer, update xz and wget if needed (+ Master/source). Update readme-html.dir/readme.en.html if needed, run tlpkg/bin/htmltext to create readme-txt.dir/README.EN. Update texcollection DVD text: http://tug.org/texcollection/ http://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/projects/texcollection/ B. Specifics for tlperl update: cd $pg find tlperl -type f | \grep -v README.TEXLIVE | sort >/tmp/now zipinfo -1 newperl.zip | \grep -v /\$ | sort >/tmp/new unzip -q newperl.zip # replace All files comm -13 /tmp/now /tmp/new >/tmp/c2 comm -23 /tmp/now /tmp/new >/tmp/c1 wc -l /tmp/c1 /tmp/c2 # should not be everything svn rm `cat /tmp/c1` svn add --parents --no-auto-props `cat /tmp/c2` svn status | fgrep \? # shouldn't be any besides newperl.zip find tlperl -name \*.dll -o -name \*.exe | xargs svn propset svn:executable 1 find tlperl -type d -empty | xargs svn rm # repeat until no output update tlperl/README.TEXLIVE svn commit when ready ... C. Build a test ISO image for initial TeX Collection testing: In cron.tl, set images_frozen=false. In tl-update-images, ensure V= the new YYYY and target=/.../test Update /home/ftp/texlive/Images/test/README. After successful image build, email tldistro@tug.org for info/review. Can disable image building again after the initial build for a while. M. As work proceeds, update the doc: MetaPost (in texmf-dist), other engine (in source) NEWS. Ensure all engine manuals updated in texmf-dist. Update texlive-en.tex (+ .pdf, .html), tell tldoc to translate. Update year numbers by one, write news section, update "Builders of the binaries" and "Translators of this manual", and changes throughout if behavior has changed. Update tlbuild.texi text, then make tlbuild-incl.texi && make readme-files && make readme-install. Consider updates of core man pages in Build/source/texk/web2c/man. Remake updmap,fmtutil man pages with help2man: make -C Build/source/Work/texk/texlive/tl_scripts xupdmap.1 xfmtutil.1 They must be moved from /tmp into Master by hand: mv /tmp/xupdmap.1 $x1/updmap.1 mv /tmp/xfmtutil.1 $x1/fmtutil.1 Also update ~www/texlive/doc/*.html (groff -mandoc -Thtml fmtutil.1): mv /tmp/xupdmap.1.html $lw/doc/updmap.html mv /tmp/xfmtutil.1.html $lw/doc/fmtutil.html Texinfo manuals from Build to Master: tl-update-txi Man pages from Build to Master (after doing a build): tl-update-man # then run make in texmf-dist/doc/man # and check /tmp/so.rules against man1/Makefile Don't forget commit in texmf-dist/doc. N. Really test during pretest (really! don't leave it for Knuth to do!): .fmt's sharable across endian-different platforms (including luatex). interactive mf '\drawdot (50,50); showit;' % and from * prompt O. Two days before the final pretest (i.e., to-be-published) build: Put date into NEWS and ChangeLog files. Update Build/source/tardate.ac. tlmgr version number in texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/NEWS. Rebuild test images so we get the new source. Tell developers no more commits: tldev + akira, hironobu, jerome, luigi, mojca, takuji. P. The day before the final pretest: option adjustrepo 1 in tl-update-tlnet, else install-tl-unx won't go to ctan Update Master/source: xz wget w32tex-src texlive*source mactexdoc install-tl-unx.tar.gz Q. After final build, to do total freeze: In cron.tl, set *_frozen=true. Probably also just disable the cron entry. III.

Dick @ updating MacTeX. Martin @ torrents (done earlier). Siep @ w32client.html, Norbert @ debian,updmap-kanji.html. Nikola @ FreeBSD notes linked on bugs.html. pdftex maintainers @ updating pdftex sources with sync-pdftex.sh + tag. - make tag + branch: (determine revision number from svn log, in case commits were mistakenly made) svn copy -r r47460 \ -m'texlive-2018.0 tag based on r47460' \ svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2018.0 svn copy -r 47460 \ -m'branch2018 branch based on r47460' \ svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/branches/branch2018 It's the same command, just different destinations. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.branchmerge.html We do both a branch and a tag so that it's possible to easily compare the current state of the branch with its starting point (the tag). To check out the branch, for critical source fixes for the sake of during-the-year rebuilds or for the distros, if they request it: cd /home/texlive rm -rf branch # when starting a new year on tug mkdir branch cd branch svn co svn://tug.org/texlive/branches/branch$this/Build/source . >&out Do a test build, commit when successful. Ask for rebuilds, When (enough) rebuilds are done, make another tag: #svn copy -r 47626 -m'texlive-2018.1 tag based on r47626, with critical dvipdfmx and other bug fixes; http://tug.org/pipermail/tlbuild/2018q2/004222.html' \ # svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2018.1 - update ~karl/bin/cron.tl, and reenable when feel ready. critical= pretest= images_frozen=true net_frozen=false all_frozen=false after release: - texcollection hy=/home/ftp/historic/systems/texcollection mkdir -p $hy/$this/packaging # # copy files from DVD: mount /mnt/tc cd /mnt/tc cp -R [A-T]* index* setup /home/ftp/historic/systems/texcollection/$this # # copy ctan snapshot for TUG members: ls -l ~www/members/ctan17-*.tar du !$ rm -i ~www/members/ctan17-*.tar # assuming it's hard-linked, else move! nice -19 tar cf ~www/members/ctan`date +%y`-20180414.tar ctan chmod a=r ~www/members/ctan*.tar ls -l !$; du !$ # edit members/index.html mkdir /home/ftp/historic/systems/ctancd/$this ln ~www/members/ctan*.tar !$ # cd && umount /mnt/tc # cd $hy/$this/packaging # copy in files from texcollection svn, then: pdftoppm -gray -r 222 texcoll-cover.pdf temp # edit temp*.pgm to be just the cover. pnmcrop temp*.pgm | pnmtopng >~www/texcollection/texcollection$this.png cp texcoll-cover.pdf ~www/texcollection/texcollection$this.pdf # ~www/texcollection/index.html ~www/store/index.html /home/httpd/cgi-bin/tug-common.pl ~www/forms/current/memberapp.html # ~www/rss/tug.xml ~www/index.html - increment source versions, increment year+libversions and append /dev: Build/source/{version.ac,texk/{kpathsea,ptexenc}/version.ac reautoconf
