[Spread-users] Packaging of CVS source as tarball

[Jonathan Stanton]

I will admit I don't have a script. Since it only involves a few
commands for me I wrote a "howto build a spread release" text file but I
didn't automate the running of those commands. I've attached that file
to this email as it might help some. 

Since I don't need to directly turn a CVS checkout into a release (that
is more work then running cvs export as I have to get rid of all of the
CVS directories then) I havn't had to do what it sounds like you need to
do.

How to make a spread distribution:
----------------------------------
In the ~/spreaddist directory run:

cvs -d :ext:cvs.spread.org:/storage/cvsroot export -r REL3.XX.X -d spread_src-3.XX.X spread/daemon

That will create the basic source directory.

cd spread_src-3.XX.X

cvs -d :ext:cvs.spread.org:/storage/cvsroot export -r REL3.XX.X -d java spread/javaapps
cvs -d :ext:cvs.spread.org:/storage/cvsroot export -r REL3.XX.X -d java/spread spread/javalib
cvs -d :ext:cvs.spread.org:/storage/cvsroot export -r REL3.XX.X -d perl spread/perl

cd java
run perl script to fixup build.xml file:

perl -pi -e 's,(property name="src.java.dir" value=")../javalib",$1spread,' build.xml

Write release_announcement.txt file for toplevel source directory.
