Introduction
The target audience for this page are LEAF maintainers and admins.
The page describes the release process, mostly as reminder. Note: Various steps require (different) administrator privileges.
Rebuild new release from source
It is recommended to do a completly fresh build from the sources. Use the command:
./buildtool distclean
Compile the build environment and all packages.
./tools/buildall.sh
To compile build environments and packages for all supported architectures in one go, the shell script build_all_archs
has been added in the tools directory.
To save time, it is also possible to blacklist packages that are known not to build or only necessaryfor special tasks (e.g. valgrind.lrp<code>.
Commit Packages to SF SCM
Copy all generated lrp packages to [path to git]/leaf/bering-uclibc5/bin/packages. Commit and push into the git repository:
[path to git]/leaf/bering-uclibc6/bin/packages git commit * [path to git]/leaf/bering-uclibc6/bin/packages git push
Create images and source tarball
Create the images:
fakeroot ./buildimage.pl --kernel-arch geode --image-type syslinux --variant serial fakeroot ./buildimage.pl --kernel-arch i486 --image-type isolinux --variant vga fakeroot ./buildimage.pl --kernel-arch i486 --image-type syslinux --variant serial fakeroot ./buildimage.pl --kernel-arch i486 --image-type syslinux --variant vga fakeroot ./buildimage.pl --kernel-arch i686 --image-type syslinux --variant vga fakeroot ./buildimage.pl --kernel-arch i686 --image-type isolinux --variant vga ...
It is a good idea to finally test the newly build version with qemu:
qemu-system-i386 -enable-kvm -m 512 -cdrom image/Bering-uClibc_6.0.0-nn_i486_isolinux_vga.iso
Create the sources tarball as required by SF policy:
cd [path to git]bering-uclibc$ git archive --format=tgz -9 HEAD -o [your/upload-dir]/Bering-uClibc_6.0.0-nn_src.tgz
Tag release in SCM
[path to git]/leaf/bering-uclibc# git tag -a -m "Release of LEAF Bering-uClibc 6.0.0-nn" v6.0.0-nn [path to git]/leaf/bering-uclibc# git push origin v6.0.0-nn
