- - On my local machines, check out the release-tagged version of the
- sources. Do this in a _clean_ directory; don't depend on my usual
- source dir.
- + Make sure to run mkfiles.pl _after_ this checkout, just in
- case.
-
- - Build the source archives now, while the directory is still
- pristine.
- + run ./mksrcarc.sh to build the Windows source zip.
- + run `./mkunxarc.sh X.YZ' to build the Unix tarball.
-
- - Build the Windows/x86 release binaries. Don't forget to supply
- VER=/DRELEASE=<ver>. Run them, or at least one or two of them, to
- ensure that they really do report their version number correctly.
- + Save the release link maps. Currently I keep these on ixion,
- in src/putty/local/maps-<version>.
-
- - Acquire the Windows/alpha release binaries from Owen.
- + Verify the signatures on these, to ensure they're really the
- ones he built. If I'm going to sign a zip file I make out of
- these, I'm damn well going to make sure the binaries that go
- _into_ it are signed themselves.
- + Make sure Owen has kept the Alpha release link maps somewhere
- useful.
-
- - Run Halibut to build the docs.
-
- - Build the binary archives putty.zip (one for each architecture):
- each one just contains all the .exe files except PuTTYtel, and
- the .hlp and .cnt files.
- + zip -k putty.zip `ls *.exe | grep -v puttytel` putty.hlp putty.cnt
- + same again for Alpha.
-
- - Build the docs archive puttydoc.zip: it contains all the HTML
- files output from Halibut.
- + zip puttydoc.zip *.html
-
- - Build the installer.
-
- - Sign the release (gpg --detach-sign).
- + Sign the locally built x86 binaries, the locally built x86
- binary zipfile, and the locally built x86 installer, with the
- release keys.
- + The Alpha binaries should already have been signed with the
- release keys. Having checked that, sign the Alpha binary
- zipfile with the release keys too.
- + The source archive should be signed with the release keys.
- + Don't forget to sign with both DSA and RSA keys for absolutely
- everything.
-
- - Begin to pull together the release directory structure.
- + subdir `x86' containing the x86 binaries, x86 binary zip, x86
- installer, and all signatures on the above.
- + subdir `alpha' containing the Alpha binaries, Alpha binary
- zip, and all signatures on the above.
- + top-level dir contains the Windows source zip (plus
- signatures), the Unix source tarball (plus signatures),
- puttydoc.txt, the .hlp and .cnt files, and puttydoc.zip.
-
- - Create and sign md5sums files: one in the x86 subdir, one in the
- alpha subdir, and one in the parent dir of both of those.
- + The md5sums files need not list the .DSA and .RSA signatures,
- and the top-level md5sums need not list the other two.
- + Sign the md5sums files (gpg --clearsign).
-
- - Now double-check by verifying all the signatures on all the
- files, and running md5sum -c on all the md5sums files.
-
- - Create subdir `htmldoc' in the release directory, which should
- contain exactly the same set of HTML files that went into
- puttydoc.zip.
- + It also needs a copy of sitestyle.css, because the online
- versions of the HTML docs will link to this (although the
- zipped form should be self-contained).
-
- - Now the whole release directory should be present and correct.
- Upload to ixion:www/putty/<ver>, upload to
- chiark:ftp/putty-<ver>, and upload to the:www/putty/<ver>.
-
- - Check the permissions! Actually try downloading from the, to make
- sure it really works.
-
- - Update the HTTP redirects.
- + Update the one at the:www/putty/htaccess which points the
- virtual subdir `latest' at the actual latest release dir. TEST
- THIS ONE - it's quite important.
- + ixion:www/putty/.htaccess has an individual redirect for each
- version number. Add a new one.
-
- - Update the FTP symlink (chiark:ftp/putty-latest -> putty-<ver>).
-
- - Update web site.
- + Adjust front page (`the latest version is <ver>').
- + Adjust Download page similarly.
- + Adjust filenames of installer and Unix tarball on links in
- Download page.
- + Adjust header text on Changelog page. (That includes changing
- `are new' in previous version to `were new'!)
-
- - Update the wishlist. This can be done without touching individual
- items by editing the @releases array in control/bugs2html.
-
- - Check the Docs page links correctly to the release docs. (It
- should do this automatically, owing to the `latest' HTTP
- redirect.)
-
- - Check that the web server attaches the right content type to .HLP
- and .CNT files.
-
- - Run webupdate, so that all the changes on ixion propagate to
