========================================================
Release procedure for the External files support package
========================================================

Follow these instructions to release version A.B of 
this package. Please update the instructions if you
find anything that is not correct or missing.

 1. Make sure that all changes have been committed to 
    the trunk. Check with other developers if not
    sure.

 2. Update the version number.
    
    In build.xml: 
      <property name="version" value="A.B" />
      
    Run `ant update-version`. This should put the version
    numbers in a lot of files, including, 
    META-INF/extensions.xml.
    
    Check (and update if needed) the README file and
    and the wiki pages (see also step 8 and 9 below):
    
      http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/wiki/net.sf.basedb.xfiles
      http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/wiki/PluginDownload

 3. Make sure that the code compiles and can be packaged.
 
    ant package
    
    will create the file 'xfiles-A.B.tar.gz' in
    the project directory.
 
 4. Make sure that the installation of this extension works 
    and that the installation instructions are up to date. 
    
 5. When everything is OK, commit any changes to subversion.

 6. Create a tag in subversion: 

    svn copy http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/svn/extensions/net.sf.basedb.xfiles/trunk \
        http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/svn/extensions/net.sf.basedb.xfiles/tags/A.B \
        -m "Tagging release A.B"

 7. Upload the packaged release as an attachment to: 
    http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/wiki/net.sf.basedb.xfiles

 8. Edit the http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/wiki/net.sf.basedb.xfiles 
    page:
    
    * Add a new entry to the Download table
    * Change the README link to point to the tagged release. Use
      the following wiki code:
      [source:/extensions/net.sf.basedb.xfiles/tags/A.B/README README]
    * Check the information on the download page 
      http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/wiki/PluginDownload
      and make sure it is correct

 9. Create a new milestone: 'External files support A.B+1'

10. Close the 'External files support A.B' milestone. Move
    any remaining tickets to the newly create milestone.

11. Update the version numbers.
 
    In build.xml: <property name="version" value="A.(B+1)-dev" />
    Run `ant update-version` and commit the changes to 
    subversion: 
     
    svn commit -m "Preparing for future release A.B+1"
