Release procedure for the MEV Launcher 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:
Run `ant update-version`. This should put the version
numbers in a lot of files, including, Mev.java and
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.mev
http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/wiki/PluginDownload
3. Make sure that the code compiles and can be packaged.
ant package
will create the file 'mev-launcher-A.B.tar.gz' in
the project directory.
4. Make sure that the installation of the MEV Launcher works
and that the installation instructions are up to date.
5. When everything is OK, commit any changes to subversion.

svn copy http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/svn/extensions/net.sf.basedb.mev/trunk \
http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/svn/extensions/net.sf.basedb.mev/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.mev
8. Edit the http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/wiki/net.sf.basedb.examples.mev

the following wiki code:
[source:/extensions/net.sf.basedb.mev/tags/A.B/README README]

http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/wiki/PluginDownload
and make sure it is correct
