10 1 Anonymous CVS checkouts and updates
11 -------------------------------------
13 Obtain lwIP from the STABLE tree (on the CVS main trunk)
15 cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip login
16 cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip checkout lwip
18 Or, obtain a specific release as follows:
20 cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip login
21 cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip checkout -r STABLE-0_6_3 -d lwip-0.6.3 lwip
23 Or, obtain a development branch as follows:
25 cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip login
26 cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip checkout -r DEVEL -d lwip-devel lwip
31 First, checkout a clean copy of the branch to be released. Tag this set with
32 tag name "STABLE-0_6_3". (I use release number 0.6.3 throughout this example).
34 Login CVS using pserver authentication, then export a clean copy of the
35 tagged tree. Export is similar to a checkout, except that the CVS metadata
36 is not created locally.
38 cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip login
39 cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip export -r STABLE-0_6_3 -d lwip-0.6.3 lwip
41 Archive this directory using tar.
43 tar czvf lwip-0.6.3.tar.gz lwip-0.6.3
45 First, make a local release directory to work in, I use "lwip-releases":
50 Now, make a new release by creating a new directory for it (these are
51 Savannah conventions so that it shows up in the Files list real nice):
58 We can now copy the tar archive we made earlier into the release directory:
60 cp /../../../lwip-0.6.3.tar.gz .
62 Finally, synchronize this directory upwards to Savannah:
64 rsync -n -e "ssh -1" -t -u -v -r . likewise@savannah.nongnu.org:/upload/lwip
66 This does a "dry run": no files are modified! After you have confirmed that
67 this is what you intended to do, remove "-n" and actually synchronize for
68 real. The release should now be available here:
70 http://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=lwip
73 Explanation of rsync options used:
75 -t: preserve file timestamps
76 -u: do not overwrite existing files, unless they are older
77 -v: be verbose (long format file attributes)
78 -r: recurse into directories
79 -n: dry-run, do not modify anything.
82 Additionally, you may post a news item on Savannah, like this:
84 A new 0.6.3 release is now available here:
85 http://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=lwip&highlight=0.6.3
87 You will have to submit this via the user News interface, then approve
88 this via the Administrator News interface.
