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:
engine people, LaTeX people, GUST font people
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 the next day.
then, the next day, build 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.
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)
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.)
3. The next nightly build will update tlpretest, or run
force_rebuild=true cron.tl
4. Basic updates for release year:
kpathsea/texmf.cnf & web2c/texmf.cnf
Master/release-texlive.txt
Master/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLConfig.pm
Master/tlpkg/bin/tl-update-tlnet
.mkisofsrc
5. 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;'
When finalizing sources (can be before tlnet freeze)
version numbers and years and copyright years in:
top level version.ac
dvips: configure.ac NEWS dvips.c dvips.h afm2tfm.c dvips.texi
kpathsea: version.ac NEWS kpsewhich.c doc/kpathsea.texi
web2c: NEWS doc/web2c.texi
ptexenc: version.ac
texmf.cnf (both Build and Master), texmfcnf.lua (Master)
install-tl, tlmgr.pl (copyright only)
run ~karl/bin/tlversions to see+compare engine/etc. versions
After tlnet freeze:
in Master/tlpkg, update bundled Windows programs as needed:
dviout texworks tlgs tlperl tlpsv
When binary set and docs are stable enough:
Ask ConTeXt people to update if not done.
peb + laurens + khaled: no commits.
Compare Build/source/inst/texmf to texmf.
tl-update-txi
tl-update-man # and run make in texmf/doc/man
# and check /tmp/so.rules against man1/Makefile
When total freeze:
in cron.tl, set *_frozen=true.
probably also just disable the cron entry.
Making the big release:
- Live unmount of last year's:
umount /home/ftp/texlive/Contents/live
hx=/home/ftp/historic/systems/texlive
prev=2011
this=2012
mkdir $hx/$this
cd /home/ftp/texlive/Images
cp README.html $hx/$prev/
mv *.iso* $hx/$prev/
mv test/*.iso* .
mv test/texlive*.tar.xz* $hx/$this/ # tar version only from historic
update README and test/README
cd /home/ftp/texlive/tlnet
mkdir $hx/$prev/tlnet
cd /home/ftp/texlive/tlnet
diff -qr . $hx/$prev/tlnet-final # should already be there from before, so:
rm -rf [a-z]*
mv ../tlpretest/[a-z]* .
update README and ../tlpretest/README
cd /home/httpd/html/texlive
mkdir $hx/$prev/web
cp *.html !$ # remove tugstyle.css ref from bugs.html
- tug.org stuff:
do full install to default location.
rm /usr/local/texlive-rel; ln -s texlive/$this /usr/local/texlive-rel
create source/ subdir, cp texlive-*-source.tar.xz and w32tex-src.tar.xz
change /etc/fstab, mount /home/ftp/texlive/Contents/live.
update ~www/texlive web pages (search for $prev):
acquire* - general
bugs.html - general
doc.html - platform list, translation list
quickinstall.html - paths
w32client.html - new w32client*.zip needed (siep)
update historic/systems with final proTeXt and MacTeX, when ready.
https://bscw.fernuni-hagen.de
ftp://ftp.fernuni-hagen.de/pub/windows/win32/ProTeXt/
update TUG member area with CTAN snapshot, when ready.
- announcements:
Dick Koch @ updating MacTeX.
CTAN @ re-enabling tlnet mirroring.
Martin @ torrents.
Nikola @ FreeBSD binaries.
pretest mirror admins @ done till next year (~www/texlive/mirmon/tl*.txt).
- make tag + branch:
svn copy -r 26940 -m'texlive-2012.0 tag based on r26940' \
svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2012.0
svn copy -r 26940 -m'branch2012 branch based on r26940' \
svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/branches/branch2012
It's the same command, just different destinations.
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.branchmerge
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 file:///home/svn/texlive/branches/branch2012/Build/source . >&out
- update ~karl/bin/cron.tl, and reenable when feel ready.
critical=
pretest=
net_frozen=false
all_frozen=false
publicity after release:
texcollection/index.html
store/index.html
update TUG home page.
