Release tasks
Things to do before publishing a new version.
Check list
- Release version is specified by /etc/slitaz-release, this file is controlled by slitaz-base-files. Base files are tagged just before a stable release to change the version string and let Tazpkg use the new packages.
- Check that the SliTaz version specified in /etc/issue message is the same as displayed in isolinux.msg.
- Add and check that documents and images are in the root of the CD - ie. README, index.html, style.css and the directory of images. All files are in the slitaz-tools archive; just copy the addfiles/ and regenerate the ISO.
- Test, test, and test …
- Prepare the website announcement and RSS feeds. The Mailing list is used for translation and any text should be submitted 1 or 2 days before release.
Stable documentation
SliTaz stable release provides the release notes on the LiveCD through the package slitaz-doc, the repos are tagged just before release and are archived on the mirror. After the wok has been copied to wok-stable, the docs are back to a cooking cycle and just provide an index with basic information. On the system, docs are located in /usr/share/doc/slitaz, a desktop file and icon are provided in the sources package and can be used to have quick access to the documentation.
