8. Releasing a new version

To minimize trouble with distribution contents, web-page - errors and the like, we strongly encourage you - to follow this section if you prepare a new release of - code or new pages on the webserver. -

The following programs are required to follow this process: - ncftpput (ncftp), scp (ssh), -gmake (GNU's version of make), autoconf, cvs, ???. -

Replace X, Y and Z with the actual version number (X = major, Y = minor, Z = point): -

8.1. Before the Release

The following must be done by one of the - developers prior to each new release. -

-

8.2. Update the webserver

All files must be group-readable and group-writable (or no one else - will be able to change them)! To update the webserver, create any - pages locally in the doc/webserver/* directory (or - create new directories under doc/webserver), then do -

  make webserver
-	
-

This will do the upload to the webserver (www.privoxy.org). -

Note that "make dok" - (or "make redhat-dok") creates - doc/webserver/user-manual, - doc/webserver/developer-manual, - doc/webserver/faq and - doc/webserver/index.html automatically. - (doc/webserver/man-page/privoxy-man-page.html - is created by a separate Makefile target, "make - man", due to dependencies on some obscure perl scripts. - See comments in GNUmakefile.) -

- Someone should also commit these to CVS so that packagers without the - ability to build docs locally, have access to them. This is a separate - step, and should also be done before each official release. -

Please do NOT use any other means of transferring files to the - webserver. "make webserver" not only - uploads, but will make sure that the appropriate permissions are - preserved for shared group access. -

8.3. SuSE or Red Hat

Ensure that you have the latest code version. Hence run: -

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
-  cvs -z3  -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa export -r  v_X_Y_Z current
-  cd current
-	
-

first. -

  autoheader && autoconf && ./configure
-	
-

Then do -

  make suse-dist or make redhat-dist
-	
-

To upload the package to Sourceforge, simply issue -

  make suse-upload (or make redhat-upload)
-	
-

Go to the displayed URL and release the file publicly on Sourceforge. -

8.4. OS/2

Ensure that you have the latest code version. Hence run: -

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
-  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa export -r  v_X_Y_Z current
-  cd ..
-  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co os2setup
-	
-

You will need a mix of development tools. - The main compilation takes place with IBM Visual Age C++. - Some ancillary work takes place with GNU tools, available from - various sources like hobbes.nmsu.edu. - Specificially, you will need autoheader, - autoconf and sh tools. - The packaging takes place with WarpIN, available from various sources, including - its home page: xworkplace. -

Change directory to the os2setup directory. - Edit the os2build.cmd file to set the final executable filename. - For example, -
  installExeName='privoxyos2_setup_X.Y.Z.exe'
-	
- Next, edit the IJB.wis file so the release number matches - in the PACKAGEID section: -
  PACKAGEID="Privoxy Team\Privoxy\Privoxy Package\X\Y\Z"
-	
- You're now ready to build. Run: -
  os2build
-	
- And in the ./files directory you will have the - WarpIN-installable executable. - Upload this anonymously to - uploads.sourceforge.net/incoming, create a release - for it, and you're done. -

8.5. Solaris

Login to Sourceforge's compilefarm via ssh -

  ssh cf.sourceforge.net
-	
-

Choose the right operating system (not the Debian one). If you have - downloaded Privoxy before, -

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
-  cvs -z3  -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa export -r  v_X_Y_Z current
-  cd current
-	
-

If not, please checkout - Privoxy via CVS first. Run: -

  autoheader && autoconf && ./configure
-	
-

Then run -

  gmake solaris-dist
-	
-

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. -

8.6. Windows

Ensure that you have the latest code version. Hence run -

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
-  cvs -z3  -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa export -r  v_X_Y_Z current
-  cd current
-	
-

Run: -

  autoheader && autoconf && ./configure
-	
-

Then do FIXME. -

8.7. Debian

Ensure that you have the latest code version. Hence run: -

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
-  cvs -z3  -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa export -r  v_X_Y_Z current
-  cd current
-	
-

first. Run: -

  autoheader && autoconf && ./configure
-	
-

Then do FIXME. -

8.8. Mac OSX

Ensure that you have the latest code version. Hence run: -

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
-  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa export -r  v_X_Y_Z current
-  cd ..
-  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co osxsetup
-	
-

From the osxsetup directory, run: -
  build
-	
-

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: -
zip -r privoxyosx_setup_x.y.z.zip Privoxy.pkg
-	
- You can then upload privoxyosx_setup_x.y.z.zip anonymously to - uploads.sourceforge.net/incoming, - create a release for it, and you're done. -

8.9. FreeBSD

Change the version number of Privoxy in the - configure.in file. Run: -
  autoheader && autoconf && ./configure
-	
- Then ... -

Login to Sourceforge's compilefarm via ssh: -

  ssh cf.sourceforge.net
-	
-

Choose the right operating system. -

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
-  cvs -z3  -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa export -r  v_X_Y_Z current
-  cd current
-	
-

Run: -

  autoheader && autoconf && ./configure
-	
-

Then run: -

  gmake freebsd-dist
-	
-

which creates a gzip'ed tar archive. Sadly, you cannot use make - freebsd-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. -

8.10. Tarball

Ensure that you have the right code version. Hence run: -

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
-  cvs -z3  -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa export -r  v_X_Y_Z current
-  cd current
-	
-

first. Run: -

  autoheader && autoconf && ./configure
-	
-

Then do: -

  make tarball-dist
-	
-

To upload the package to Sourceforge, simply issue -

  make tarball-upload
-	
-

Goto the displayed URL and release the file publicly on Sourceforge. -

8.11. HP-UX 11

Ensure that you have the latest code version. Hence run: -

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
-  cvs -z3  -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa export -r  v_X_Y_Z current
-  cd current
-	
-

first. Run: -

  autoheader && autoconf && ./configure
-	
-

Then do FIXME. -

8.12. Amiga OS

Ensure that you have the latest code version. Hence run: -

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
-  cvs -z3  -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa export -r  v_X_Y_Z current
-  cd current
-	
-

first. Run: -

  autoheader && autoconf && ./configure
-	
-

Then do FIXME. -

8.13. AIX

Login to Sourceforge's compilefarm via ssh: -

  ssh cf.sourceforge.net
-	
-

Choose the right operating system. If you have downloaded Privoxy - before: -

  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
-  cvs -z3  -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa export -r  v_X_Y_Z current
-  cd current
-	
-

If not, please checkout - Privoxy via CVS first. Run: -

  autoheader && autoconf && ./configure
-	
-

Then run: -

  make aix-dist
-	
-

which creates a gzip'ed tar archive. Sadly, you cannot use make - aix-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. -

+

6. Releasing a New Version

+

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.

+
+

6.1. Version numbers

+

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:

+ +

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).

+
+
+

6.2. Before the Release

+

The following must be done by one of the developers + prior to each new release.

+ +
+
+

6.3. Building and Releasing the Packages

+

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 Git 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 Git. 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.

+
+

6.3.1. Note on Privoxy Packaging

+

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 Git 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.

    +
  • +
+
+
+

6.3.2. Source Tarball

+

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:

+ + + + +
+
  make tarball-dist
+
+

To upload the package to Sourceforge, simply issue

+ + + + +
+
  make tarball-upload
+
+

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.

+
+
+

6.3.3. SuSE, Conectiva or Red Hat RPM

+

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 Git, 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.

+

Then run:

+ + + + +
+
  cd current
+  autoheader && autoconf && ./configure
+
+

Then do

+ + + + +
+
  make dist-dist
+
+

To upload the package to Sourceforge, simply issue

+ + + + +
+
  make dist-upload rpm_packagerev
+
+

where rpm_packagerev is the RPM release number as determined above. Go + to the displayed URL and release the file publicly on Sourceforge. Use the release notes and change log from + the source tarball package.

+
+
+

6.3.4. OS/2

+

First, make sure that you have freshly exported the right version + into an empty directory. (See "Building and releasing packages" above). Then get the OS/2 Setup + module:

+ + + + +
+
+              cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co os2setup
+
+

You will need a mix of development tools. The main compilation takes place with IBM Visual Age C++. Some + ancillary work takes place with GNU tools, available from various sources like hobbes.nmsu.edu. Specificially, + you will need autoheader, autoconf and sh tools. The packaging takes place with WarpIN, available from various sources, including its + home page: xworkplace.

+

Change directory to the os2setup directory. Edit the os2build.cmd file to set the + final executable filename. For example,

+ + + + +
+
  installExeName='privoxyos2_setup_X.Y.Z.exe'
+
+

Next, edit the IJB.wis file so the release number matches in the PACKAGEID section:

+ + + + +
+
  PACKAGEID="Privoxy Team\Privoxy\Privoxy Package\X\Y\Z"
+
+

You're now ready to build. Run:

+ + + + +
+
  os2build
+
+

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.

+
+
+

6.3.5. Solaris

+

Login to Sourceforge's compilefarm via ssh:

+ + + + +
+
  ssh cf.sourceforge.net
+
+

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:

+ + + + +
+
  cd current
+  autoheader && autoconf && ./configure
+
+

Then run

+ + + + +
+
  gmake solaris-dist
+
+

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.

+
+
+

6.3.6. Windows

+

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.

+
+
+

6.3.7. Debian

+

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_3.0.27-stable-1_i386.deb which can be uploaded. To + upload the package to Sourceforge, simply issue

+ + + + +
+
  make debian-upload
+
+
+
+

6.3.8. Mac OS X

+

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).

+
+

6.3.8.1. + OSXPackageBuilder module

+

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:

+ + + + +
+
+                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.

+
+
+

6.3.8.2. osxsetup module + (DEPRECATED)

+

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:

+ + + + +
+
+                cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co osxsetup
+
+

Then run:

+ + + + +
+
  cd osxsetup
+  build
+
+

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:

+ + + + +
+
  zip -r privoxyosx_setup_x.y.z.zip Privoxy.pkg
+
+

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.

+
+
+

6.3.8.3. macsetup 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 macsetup
+
+

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.

+
+
+
+

6.3.9. FreeBSD

+

Update the www/privoxy port and submit a diff upstream. For details see the FreeBSD Porter's + Handbook.

+
+
+
+

6.4. Uploading and Releasing Your Package

+

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:

+ +

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. 3.0.27 (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!
