Checks

[edit]

Check that it works!

This cannot be over-emphasized. Before making a release check that the following tests pass.

  • basic checks:
    • launch Sailcut
    • check that the default sail is ok (3D view, wireframe view, developed view)
  • file save/load:
    • launch Sailcut
    • make changes to the sail (for instance a jib) and check that all views are updated correctly
    • save the file
    • close Sailcut
    • launch Sailcut
    • load the file you saved and check that all views are updated correctly
[edit]

Check the documentation

Check the following:

  • is the ChangeLog up to date?
  • is the copyright date in README up to date?
  • is the copright date in debian/copyright up to date?
[edit]

Source release

Tag the release and check it out

First, create a "tag" on the release, which captures the state of the source code at the moment the release was made. Run (replace x.y.z): 

svn cp https://sailcut.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sailcut/trunk https://sailcut.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sailcut/tags/x.y.z

Check out the code (replace x.y.z): 

svn co https://sailcut.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sailcut/tags/x.y.z/sailcut sailcut-x.y.z
