$Id$ Public domain. Notes on putting together the pretest and yearly release --karl. 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 Coordinate schedule with: maintainers of: engines, LaTeX, GUST font, asymptote, context, texworks other parts of collection: protext, ctan, mactex. general lists To stop updating of certain packages before the general freeze: tlpkg/dev/tlnet-disabled-packages.txt On the day of the last tlnet update, Set opt_frozen in 00texlive.installation.tlpsrc. Freeze should happen at that night's rebuild. Then, the next day, start building tlpretest: 0. Reset opt_frozen to 0 in 00texlive.installation.tlpsrc. 1a. Set up tlpretest: cd /home/ftp/texlive/tlnet tar cf - [a-u]* | (cd ../tlpretest && tar xf -) # do not copy README Update pretest.html, notably including major changes this year; diff new and old bindirs to see if there are interesting new programs. Update /home/ftp/texlive/tlpretest/README. 1b. Preserve final tlnet of current release: cp -ar ../tlnet /home/ftp/historic/systems/texlive/YYYY/tlnet-final 2. Then switch to pretest in cron.tl: critical=--critical # push tlcritical pretest=--pretest # update tlpretest, not tlnet (if not frozen) recreate=--recreate # just once! (to get catalogue updates) 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.) 2a. option adjustrepo 0 in tl-update-tlnet, since pretest shouldn't go to CTAN for updates. 3. The next nightly build will update tlpretest, or run force_rebuild=true cron.tl (but good to do the next steps first). 4. Basic updates for release year (to start pretest): Master/.mkisofsrc Master/release-texlive.txt Master/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLConfig.pm Master/tlpkg/bin/tl-update-tlnet Master/texmf-dist/web2c/texmfcnf.lua Master/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf # from Build/.../kpathsea (check other copyright years in *.pm, tlmgr*, install-tl) 5. After committing, see if formats build, to check for config file problems. Then rm -rf ~/.texlive`date +%Y` # the new one Consider new xz and wget binaries. Then commit new binaries (see version checks below). Rebuild tlpretest as above. N. Later, when closer to release: - 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. Really test during pretest (really!): .fmt's sharable across endian-different platforms (including luatex). interactive mf '\drawdot (50,50); showit;' % and from * prompt When finalizing sources (any time in the new year, can be early), - update version numbers and years and copyright years in: top level version.ac dvipdfmx: configure.ac ChangeLog dvips: configure.ac ChangeLog NEWS dvips.c dvips.h afm2tfm.c dvips.texi kpathsea: version.ac ChangeLog NEWS kpsewhich.c doc/kpathsea.texi texmf.cnf ptexenc: version.ac ChangeLog web2c: NEWS doc/web2c.texi ptexdir/ptex-base.ch,ptex_version.h then reautoconf (6min), rebuild. install-tl, tlmgr.pl (copyright only) run ~karl/bin/tlversions to see+compare engine/etc. versions - if new kpathsea file types (kpsewhich --help), update kpathsea.texi. - ask tldistro for patches. After tlnet freeze: in Master/tlpkg, update bundled Windows programs as needed: dviout texworks tlgs tlperl tlpsv update readme-html.dir/readme.en.html 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/ When binary set and docs are stable enough: peb + laurens + khaled: no commits. Update texlive-en.tex (+ .pdf, .html), tell tldoc to translate. Check for Build-maintained updates to config files, etc. (and might have to merge back if Master was mistakenly updated): diff -r Build/source/inst/texmf-dist Master/texmf-dist Remake updmap man page with help2man (and reread and update Master): make -C Build/source/texk/texlive/tl_scripts xupdmap.1 Texinfo manuals from Build to Master: tl-update-txi Man pages from Build to Master: tl-update-man # then run make in texmf/doc/man # and check /tmp/so.rules against man1/Makefile Just before the final pretest (i.e., to-be-published) build: option adjustrepo 1 in tl-update-tlnet, else install-tl-unx won't go to ctan put date into NEWS and ChangeLog files. update Master/source: xz w32tex-src texlive*source mactexdoc install-tl-unx.tar.gz After final build, to do total freeze: in cron.tl, set *_frozen=true. probably also just disable the cron entry.
