As we’ve rejiggered the repository, the old tools have gotten a bit
clunkier than I’d like, but the new tools have gotten increasingly
shiny.
So, here’s a braindump on how I’ve created RT 3.8.0rc2 (announcement
pending)
The process clearly still needs some work. (And must become automated)
One change I’ve made is that we’re no longer running the output of svn
log --verbose into the dist. It bloats the size by 10% and doesn’t
really provide anything over what you get from svn log. (And anyone
who cares enough will almost certainly want to prod at the repository
for diffs)
Tag the branch
svk br --create 3.8.0rc2 --tag --from 3.8.0-releng --project rt-3.8
Check out the newly tagged version and update the version number.
This is unacceptable for the long-term release process. Perhaps we
want a trivial expression to grab it from the cwd of the checkout
