The following components are published on the GNU mirrors * taler-exchange (exchange.git) * taler-merchant (merchant.git) * talerfrontends (merchant-frontends.git) * taler-bank (bank.git) * taler-wallet-webex (wallet-webex.git) ------- Tagging ------- Tag releases with an *annotated* commit, like :: git tag -a v0.1.0 -m "Official release v0.1.0" git push origin v0.1.0 ------------------ Database for tests ------------------ For tests in the exchange and merchant to run, make sure that a database `talertest` is accessible by `$USER`. Otherwise tests involving the database logic are skipped. ------------------ Exchange, merchant ------------------ Set the version in `configure.ac`. The commit being tagged should be the change of the version. For the exchange test cases to pass, `make install` must be run first. Without it, test cases will fail because plugins can't be located. :: ./bootstrap ./configure # add required options for your system make dist tar -xf taler-$COMPONENT-$VERSION.tar.gz cd taler-$COMPONENT-$VERSION make install check -------------------- Wallet WebExtension -------------------- The version of the wallet is in `manifest.json`. The `version_name` should be adjusted, and `version` should be increased independently on every upload to the WebStore. :: ./configure make dist FIXME: selenium test cases ---------------------- Upload to GNU mirrors ---------------------- See https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Automated-FTP-Uploads Directive file: :: version: 1.2 directory: taler filename: taler-exchange-0.1.0.tar.gz Upload the files in *binary mode* to the ftp servers.
