Check out the whole cvs tree. The files must be checked out through a cvs account with write access and should be a checkout from the release branch. In this example, we are assuming this is being done as a local user on openacs.org (which make the checkout and tagging operations much faster).
cd /var/tmp
cvs -d /cvsroot checkout -r oacs-5-0 openacs-4Repeat with the dotlrn cvs tree.
cd /var/tmp
mkdir dotlrn-packages
cd dotlrn-packages
cvs -d /dotlrn-cvsroot checkout -r dotlrn-2-0 dotlrn-all
Tag the tree.
cd /var/tmp/openacs-4
cvs tag -F openacs-5-0-0a1
Note that we use the -F flag which will force the tag to the new version (just in case someone has created the tag already on another version). Excercise care when doing this since you don't want to inadvertently move a prior release tag. Also if the tagging goes horribly wrong for some reason you can delete the tag via "cvs tag -d <symbolic_tag>".
Tag dotLRN. Since the dotLRN packages aren't all in one module, we iterate through all of the modules. Log in first (cvs login) so that you don't have to log in for each module.
cd /var/tmp/dotlrn-packages
for dir in *; do ( cd $dir && cvs tag -F dotlrn-2-0-0a1 ); done
Make the tarball
openacs-core.
Go to a new working space and export the tagged files.
mkdir /var/tmp/tarball
cd /var/tmp/tarball
cvs -d /cvsroot export -r openacs-5-0-0a1 acs-core
Generate the tarball.
cd /var/tmp/tarball
mv openacs-4 openacs-5.0.0a1
tar cz -f openacs-5.0.0a1.tar.gz openacs-5.0.0a1
dotlrn.
Go to a new working space and export the tagged files. (was getting errors here trying to use -d, so gave up and just moved things from openacs-4 to openacs at the end)
mkdir /var/tmp/dotlrn-tarball
cd /var/tmp/dotlrn-tarball
cvs -d /cvsroot export -r openacs-5-0-0a1 acs-core
cd /var/tmp/dotlrn-tarball/openacs-4/packages
cvs -d /cvsroot export -r openacs-5-0-0a1 dotlrn-prereq
cvs -d /dotlrn-cvsroot export -r dotlrn-2-0-0a1 dotlrn-core
Copy the dotlrn install.xml file, which controls which packages are installed on setup, to the root location:
cp /var/tmp/dotlrn-tarball/openacs-4/packages/dotlrn/install.xml \
/var/tmp/dotlrn-tarball/openacs-4
Generate the tarball
cd /var/tmp/dotlrn-tarball
mv openacs-4 dotlrn-2.0.0a1
tar cz -f dotlrn-2.0.0a1.tar.gz dotlrn-2.0.0a1
Test the new tarball
Update openacs.org frontpage, bug-tracker versions, project page, etc.
Clean up after yourself.
cd /var/tmp
rm -rf tarball dotlrn-tarball dotlrn-packages openacs-5.0.0a1Here is a shell script that automates this whole process...
