When we release versions of Privoxy, our work leaves our cozy secret lab and + has to work in the cold RealWorld[tm]. Once it is released, there is no way to call it back, so it is very + important that great care is taken to ensure that everything runs fine, and not to introduce problems in the very + last minute.
+So when releasing a new version, please adhere exactly to the procedure outlined in this chapter.
+The following programs are required to follow this process: ncftpput (ncftp), + scp, ssh (ssh), gmake (GNU's version of make), autoconf, + cvs.
+First you need to determine which version number the release will have. Privoxy version numbers consist of three numbers, separated by dots, like in X.Y.Z (e.g. + 3.0.0), where:
+X, the version major, is rarely ever changed. It is increased by one if turning a development branch into + stable substantially changes the functionality, user interface or configuration syntax. Majors 1 and 2 were + Junkbuster, and 3 will be the first stable Privoxy release.
+Y, the version minor, represents the branch within the major version. At any point in time, there are two + branches being maintained: The stable branch, with an even minor, say, 2N, in which no functionality is being + added and only bug-fixes are made, and 2N+1, the development branch, in which the further development of + Privoxy takes place. This enables us to turn the code upside down and inside + out, while at the same time providing and maintaining a stable version. The minor is reset to zero (and one) + when the major is incremented. When a development branch has matured to the point where it can be turned into + stable, the old stable branch 2N is given up (i.e. no longer maintained), the former development branch 2N+1 + becomes the new stable branch 2N+2, and a new development branch 2N+3 is opened.
+Z, the point or sub version, represents a release of the software within a branch. It is therefore + incremented immediately after each software release. The point version is reset to zero when the minor + changes.
+Stable branches work a little differently, since there should be little to no development happening in + such branches. Remember, only bugfixes, which presumably should have had some testing before being committed. + Stable branches will then have their version reported as 0.0.0, during that period + between releases when changes are being added. This is to denote that this code is not for release. Then as the release nears, the version is bumped + according: e.g. 3.0.1 -> 0.0.0 -> 3.0.2.
+In summary, the main Git trunk is the development branch where new features are being worked on for the next + stable series. This should almost always be where the most activity takes place. There is always at least one + stable branch from the trunk, e.g now it is 3.0, which is only used to release stable + versions. Once the initial *.0 release of the stable branch has been done, then as a rule, only bugfixes that + have had prior testing should be committed to the stable branch. Once there are enough bugfixes to justify a new + release, the version of this branch is again incremented Example: 3.0.0 -> 3.0.1 -> 3.0.2, etc are all + stable releases from within the stable branch. 3.1.x is currently the main trunk, and where work on 3.2.x is + taking place. If any questions, please post to the devel list before committing to a stable branch!
+Developers should remember too that if they commit a bugfix to the stable branch, this will more than likely + require a separate submission to the main trunk, since these are separate development trees within Git. If you + are working on both, then this would require at least two separate check outs (i.e main trunk, and the stable release branch, which is v_3_0_branch at the moment).
- When we release versions of Privoxy, - our work leaves our cozy secret lab and has to work in the cold - RealWorld[tm]. Once it is released, there is no way to call it back, - so it is very important that great care is taken to ensure that - everything runs fine, and not to introduce problems in the very last - minute. -
-- So when releasing a new version, please adhere exactly to the - procedure outlined in this chapter. -

-- First you need to determine which version number the release will - have. Privoxy version numbers - consist of three numbers, separated by dots, like in X.Y.Z (e.g. - 3.0.0), where: -

-- Z, the point or sub version, represents a release of the - software within a branch. It is therefore incremented - immediately before each code freeze. In development branches, - only the even point versions correspond to actual releases, - while the odd ones denote the evolving state of the sources on - CVS in between. It follows that Z is odd on CVS in development - branches most of the time. There, it gets increased to an even - number immediately before a code freeze, and is increased to an - odd number again immediately thereafter. This ensures that - builds from CVS snapshots are easily distinguished from - released versions. The point version is reset to zero when the - minor changes. -
-- Stable branches work a little differently, since there should - be little to no development happening in such branches. - Remember, only bugfixes, which presumably should have had some - testing before being committed.

-- The following must be - done by one of the developers prior to each new release. -
--
-- Make sure that everybody who has worked on the code in the last - couple of days has had a chance to yell "no!" in case they have pending changes/fixes in - their pipelines. Announce the freeze so that nobody will - interfere with last minute changes. -
-- Increment the version number (point from odd to even in - development branches!) in configure.in and update the code status - (CODE_STATUS="xxx") to one of "alpha", "beta" or "stable". - Rebuild configure and GNUMakefile to make sure the updated - values are being used. -
-- Use the dok-release target to update the sgml documentation - source files. -
-- If action file processing has changed and is not - backward-compatible, make sure the "for-privoxy-version=x.y.z" - minimum version number in default.action.master has been - updated: -

-
- All documentation should be rebuild after the version bump. - Finished docs should be then be committed to CVS (for those - without the ability to build these). Some docs may require - rather obscure processing tools. config, the man page (and the html version of - the man page) fall in this category. README, the man page, - AUTHORS, and config should all also be committed to CVS for - other packagers. The formal docs should be uploaded to the - webserver. See the Section "Updating the webserver" in this - manual for details. -
-- The User Manual is also used for - context sensitive help for the CGI editor. This is version - sensitive, so that the user will get appropriate help for - his/her release. So with each release a fresh version should be - uploaded to the webserver (this is in addition to the main User Manual link from the main page since - we need to keep manuals for various versions available). The - CGI pages will link to something like http://privoxy.org/$(VERSION)/user-manual/. This - will need to be updated for each new release. There is no - Makefile target for this at this time!!! It needs to be done - manually. -
-- All developers should look at the ChangeLog and make sure noteworthy changes are - referenced. -
-- Commit all files - that were changed in the above steps! -
-- Tag all files in CVS with the version number with "cvs tag v_X_Y_Z". Don't - use vX_Y_Z, ver_X_Y_Z, v_X.Y.Z (won't work) etc. -
-- If the release was in a development branch, increase the point - version from even to odd (X.Y.(Z+1)) again in configure.in and commit your change. -
-- On the webserver, copy the user manual to a new top-level - directory called X.Y.Z. This ensures - that help links from the CGI pages, which have the version as a - prefix, will go into the right version of the manual. If this - is a development branch release, also symlink X.Y.(Z-1) to X.Y.Z - and X.Y.(Z+1) to . (i.e. dot). -
-- Now the individual packages can be built and released. Note that - for GPL reasons the first package to be released is always the - source tarball. -
-- For all types - of packages, including the source tarball, you must make sure that you build - from clean sources by exporting the right version from CVS into an - empty directory (just press return when asked for a - password): -
--
-
-- mkdir dist # delete or choose different name if it already exists - cd dist - cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login - cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa export -r v_X_Y_Z current -- |
-
- Do NOT change - a single bit, including, but not limited to version information - after export from CVS. This is to make sure that all release - packages, and with them, all future bug reports, are based on - exactly the same code. -
-| - Warning - | -
|
- - Every significant release of Privoxy has included at least - one package that either had incorrect versions of files, - missing files, or incidental leftovers from a previous - build process that gave unknown numbers of users headaches - to try to figure out what was wrong. PLEASE, make sure you - are using pristene sources, and are following the - prescribed process! - - |
-
- Please find additional instructions for the source tarball and the - individual platform dependent binary packages below. And details on - the Sourceforge release process below that. -
-- Please keep these general guidelines in mind when putting - together your package. These apply to all platforms! -
--
-- Privoxy requires write - access to: all *.action files, all - logfiles, and the trust file. You - will need to determine the best way to do this for your - platform. -
-- Please include up to date documentation. At a bare minimum: -
-| - LICENSE (top-level directory) - | -
| - README (top-level directory) - | -
| - AUTHORS (top-level directory) - | -
| - man page (top-level - directory, Unix-like platforms only) - | -
| - The User Manual - (doc/webserver/user-manual/) - | -
| - FAQ (doc/webserver/faq/) - | -
- Also suggested: Developer Manual - (doc/webserver/developer-manual) and ChangeLog (top-level directory). FAQ and the manuals are HTML docs. There are - also text versions in doc/text/ - which could conceivably also be included. -
-- The documentation has been designed such that the manuals are - linked to each other from parallel directories, and should be - packaged that way. privoxy-index.html can also be included and - can serve as a focal point for docs and other links of - interest (and possibly renamed to index.html). This should be one level up from - the manuals. There is a link also on this page to an HTMLized - version of the man page. To avoid 404 for this, it is in CVS - as doc/webserver/man-page/privoxy-man-page.html, - and should be included along with the manuals. There is also - a css stylesheets that can be included for better - presentation: p_doc.css. This - should be in the same directory with privoxy-index.html, (i.e. one level up from - the manual directories). -
-- user.action and user.filter are designed for local - preferences. Make sure these do not get overwritten! config should not be overwritten - either. This has especially important configuration data in - it. trust should be left in tact as - well. -
-- Other configuration files (default.action and default.filter) should be installed as the - new defaults, but all previously installed configuration - files should be preserved as backups. This is just good - manners :-) These files are likely to change between releases - and contain important new features and bug fixes. -
-- Please check platform specific notes in this doc, if you - haven't done "Privoxy" packaging - before for other platform specific issues. Conversely, please - add any notes that you know are important for your platform - (or contact one of the doc maintainers to do this if you - can't). -
-- Packagers should do a "clean" - install of their package after building it. So any previous - installs should be removed first to ensure the integrity of - the newly built package. Then run the package for a while to - make sure there are no obvious problems, before uploading. -
-- First, make sure that - you have freshly exported the right version into an empty - directory. (See "Building and releasing packages" - above). Then run: -
--
-
-- cd current - autoheader && autoconf && ./configure -- |
-
- Then do: -

-
- Go to the displayed URL and release the file publicly on - Sourceforge. For the change log field, use the relevant section - of the ChangeLog file. -
- -- In following text, replace dist with either "rh" for Red Hat or "suse" for SuSE. -
-- First, make sure that - you have freshly exported the right version into an empty - directory. (See "Building and releasing packages" - above). -
-- As the only exception to not changing anything after export from - CVS, now examine the file privoxy-dist.spec and make sure that the version information - and the RPM release number are correct. The RPM release numbers - for each version start at one. Hence it must be reset to one if - this is the first RPM for dist which is built from version X.Y.Z. - Check the file list if unsure. Else, it must be set to - the highest already available RPM release number for that version - plus one. -

which creates a gzip'ed tar archive. Sadly, you cannot use make solaris-upload on the + Sourceforge machine (no ncftpput). You now have to manually upload the archive to Sourceforge's ftp server and + release the file publicly. Use the release notes and Change Log from the source tarball package.
+Note that the docbook generated files might need some hand editing, so the Windows build makefile does not + rebuild the docs.
+First, make sure that you have freshly exported the right version + into an empty directory. (See "Building and releasing packages" above).
+Then you can build the package. This is fully automated, and is controlled by windows/GNUmakefile. All you need to do is:
+
+ cd windows + make+ |
+
Now you can manually rename privoxy_setup.exe to privoxy_setup_X.Y.Z.exe, and the build directory to privoxy_X.Y.Z. Create a .zip file of the newly renamed privoxy_X.Y.Z + directory, GPG sign the installer and zip file,
+
+ $ gpg --armor --detach --sign privoxy_setup_X.Y.Z.exe + $ gpg --armor --detach --sign privoxy_X.Y.Z.zip+ |
+
and upload the files to SourceForge.
+When releasing the package on SourceForge, use the release notes and Change Log from the source tarball + package.
+First, make sure that you have freshly exported the right version + into an empty directory. (See "Building and releasing packages" above). Then add a log entry to + debian/changelog, if it is not already there, for example by running:
+
+ debchange -v 3.0.27-stable-1 "New upstream version"+ |
+
Then, run:
+
+ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b+ |
+
This will create ../privoxy_3.0.28-stable-1_i386.deb which can be uploaded. To + upload the package to Sourceforge, simply issue
+
+ make debian-upload+ |
+
First, make sure that you have freshly exported the right version + into an empty directory. (See "Building and releasing packages" above).
+There are three modules available in the Git repository for use on Mac OS X, though technically only two of + them generate a release (the other can be used to install from source).
+The OSXPackageBuilder module generates OS X installer packages supporting all Macs running OS X 10.4 and + above. Obtain it from Git as follows into a folder parallel to the exported privoxy source:
-- os2build -+ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co OSXPackageBuilder |
- You will find the WarpIN-installable executable in the ./files directory. Upload this anonymously to uploads.sourceforge.net/incoming, create a - release for it, and you're done. Use the release notes and Change - Log from the source tarball package. -
+The module contains complete instructions on its usage in the file OS X Package + Builder HOWTO.txt.
+Once the package(s) have been generated, you can then upload them directly to the Files section of the + Sourceforge project in the Macintosh (OS X) folder. Each new version release of Privoxy should have a new + subfolder created in which to store its files. Please ensure that the folder contains a readme file that + makes it clear which package is for whichversion of OS X.
- Login to Sourceforge's compilefarm via ssh: -

+This module is deprecated since the installer it generates + places all Privoxy files in one folder in a non-standard location, and supports only Intel Macs running OS X + 10.6 or higher.
+Check out the module from Git as follows into a folder parallel to the exported privoxy source:
-- ssh cf.sourceforge.net -+ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co osxsetup |
- Choose the right operating system (not the Debian one). When - logged in, make sure - that you have freshly exported the right version into an empty - directory. (See "Building and releasing packages" - above). Then run: -
--
+Then run:
-- cd current - autoheader && autoconf && ./configure -+ cd osxsetup + build |
- Then run -
--
+This will run autoheader, autoconf and configure as well as make. Finally, it will copy over the necessary + files to the ./osxsetup/files directory for further processing by PackageMaker.
+Bring up PackageMaker with the PrivoxyPackage.pmsp definition file, modify the package name to match the + release, and hit the "Create package" button. If you specify ./Privoxy.pkg as the output package name, you + can then create the distributable zip file with the command:
-- gmake solaris-dist -+ zip -r privoxyosx_setup_x.y.z.zip Privoxy.pkg |
- which creates a gzip'ed tar archive. Sadly, you cannot use make solaris-upload on the Sourceforge - machine (no ncftpput). You now have to manually upload the - archive to Sourceforge's ftp server and release the file - publicly. Use the release notes and Change Log from the source - tarball package. -
+You can then upload this file directly to the Files section of the Sourceforge project in the Macintosh + (OS X) folder. Each new version release of Privoxy should have a new subfolder created in which to store its + files. Please ensure that the folder contains a readme file that makes it clear which version(s) of OS X the + package supports.
- Use the Cygwin Time Machine to install the last 1.5 version of - Cygwin. Run the following commands from within the Cygwin 1.5 - bash shell. -
-- First, make sure that - you have freshly exported the right version into an empty - directory. (See "Building and releasing packages" - above). Then get the Windows setup module: -
--
+The macsetup module is ideal if you wish to build and install Privoxy from source on a single machine.
+Check out the module from Git as follows into a folder parallel to the exported privoxy source:
-- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co winsetup -+ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co macsetup |
- Then you can build the package. This is fully automated, and is - controlled by winsetup/GNUmakefile. All - you need to do is: -
--
-
-- cd winsetup - make -- |
-
- Now you can manually rename privoxy_setup.exe to privoxy_setup_X_Y_Z.exe, and upload it to - SourceForge. When releasing the package on SourceForge, use the - release notes and Change Log from the source tarball package. -
+The module contains complete instructions on its usage in its README file. The + end result will be the exported version of Privoxy installed on the build machine.
- First, make sure that - you have freshly exported the right version into an empty - directory. (See "Building and releasing packages" - above). Then add a log entry to debian/changelog, if it is not already there, for - example by running: -
--
-
-- debchange -v 3.0.26-stable-1 "New upstream version" -- |
-
- Then, run: -
--
-
-- dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b -- |
-
- This will create ../privoxy_3.0.26-stable-1_i386.deb which can be - uploaded. To upload the package to Sourceforge, simply issue -
--
-
-- make debian-upload -- |
-
- First, make sure that - you have freshly exported the right version into an empty - directory. (See "Building and releasing packages" - above). -
-- There are three modules available in the CVS repository for use - on Mac OS X, though technically only two of them generate a - release (the other can be used to install from source). -
-- The OSXPackageBuilder module generates OS X installer packages - supporting all Macs running OS X 10.4 and above. Obtain it from - CVS as follows into a folder parallel to the exported privoxy - source: -
-
-- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co OSXPackageBuilder -- |
-
- The module contains complete instructions on its usage in the - file OS X Package Builder HOWTO.txt. -
-- Once the package(s) have been generated, you can then upload - them directly to the Files section of the Sourceforge project - in the Macintosh (OS X) folder. Each new version release of - Privoxy should have a new subfolder created in which to store - its files. Please ensure that the folder contains a readme file - that makes it clear which package is for whichversion of OS X. -
-- This module is - deprecated since the installer it generates places all Privoxy - files in one folder in a non-standard location, and supports - only Intel Macs running OS X 10.6 or higher. -

-- Update the www/privoxy port and submit a diff upstream. For - details see the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook. -
-- After the package is ready, it is time to upload it to SourceForge, - and go through the release steps. The upload is done via FTP: -
--
-- Upload to: ftp://upload.sourceforge.net/incoming -
-- user: anonymous -
-- password: ijbswa-developers@lists.sourceforge.net -
-- Or use the make targets as described above. -
-- Once this done go to https://sourceforge.net/project/admin/editpackages.php?group_id=11118, - making sure you are logged in. Find your target platform in the - second column, and click Add Release. You - will then need to create a new release for your package, using the - format of $VERSION ($CODE_STATUS), e.g. - 3.0.26 - (beta). -
-- Now just follow the prompts. Be sure to add any appropriate Release - notes. You should see your freshly uploaded packages in "Step 2. Add Files To This Release". Check the - appropriate box(es). Remember at each step to hit the "Refresh/Submit" buttons! You should now see your - file(s) listed in Step 3. Fill out the forms with the appropriate - information for your platform, being sure to hit "Update" for each file. If anyone is monitoring your - platform, check the "email" box at the - very bottom to notify them of the new package. This should do it! -
-- If you have made errors, or need to make changes, you can go - through essentially the same steps, but select Edit Release, instead of Add - Release. -
- When all (or: most of the) packages have been uploaded and made - available, send an email to the announce - mailing list, Subject: "Version X.Y.Z available for download". - Be sure to include the download location, the release notes and the - Changelog. Also, post an updated News item on the project page - Sourceforge, and update the Home page and docs linked from the Home - page (see below). Other news sites and release oriented sites, such - as Freshmeat, should also be notified. -
