Information for binary uploaders (Re: [Monotone-devel] [ANNOUNCE] monotone 0.38 released)

[Richard Levitte]

Hello,

when I released 0.37, there were some questions regarding uploading
binaries or install kits, so I've decided that I will have this kind
of informative email after each release I make.  I'll probably make
it a point in notes/release-checklist.txt.

Upload of binaries/install kits for monotone 0.38 is done as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Copy your binary or install kit to the server:

        $ scp {YOUR_BINARY} address@hidden:downloads/0.38/

This requires that you have a SSH v2 public key registered in the
mtn-uploads account.  The way to have that is currently to email
address@hidden

Update the http://monotone.ca/index.html page:

        $ mtn -d {YOUR_DATABASE} pull
        $ mtn -d {YOUR_DATABASE} -b net.venge.monotone.web co
        $ cd net.venge.monotone.web
        # EDIT index.html, usually by just uncommenting the
        # appropriate line.
        $ mtn ci -m "Uploaded 0.38 binaries for {platform}"
        $ mtn push

Note that there are a number of commented lines for binary dists in
index.html already.  If you have something new, please use those as
inspiration for how to name yours.  Of course, if you're already one
of the regular uploaders, you already know what to do ;-).

Cheers,
Richard

P.S.  Please tell me how you feel about the instructions above and how
I can make them better.
