Packaging a Tool for Release

You need these environmental variables set to work with the current CVS setup:


export CVSROOT=":ext:local@barricklab.org:/bliss/cvs"

export CVS_RSH="ssh"

Unfortunately, you are prompted for the password at every command with this setup.

Update your current version of the sources or commit your current changes to the repository.


> cvs commit -m "message" module

Changed:

<
< Add a revision tag to the repository. For now, use a vX_XX style.

>
> Add a revision tag to the repository. For now, use a vX style.


> cvs rtag vX_XX module

Create an archive for posting on the website.


> cd <directory containing module>

Changed:

<
< > tar --exclude=.* --exclude=CVS -czvf module_vX_XX.tgz module

>
> > tar --exclude=.* --exclude=CVS -czvf module_vX.tgz module

(The exclude statements are necessary to avoid .DS_Store files and the CVS directory.)

To Do: Switch over to Subversion.
