Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification.
The "Test_procedure" page has been changed by NoahSlater. http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Test_procedure -------------------------------------------------- New page: == Testing a Source Release == Any Apache CouchDB user is free to test a source release, and in fact we encourage you to do so! === Setting Up === Create a new temporary directory to work in: {{{ mkdir /tmp/couchdb }}} You can remove this directory and all of its contents when you're done. === Checking out the tag === You should have a copy of the vote email with links to the tag directory. It will look a bit like this: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb/tags/1.1.0 Obviously, the `1.1.0` bit will change between releases. Create a new temporary directory: {{{ mkdir /tmp/couchdb/tag }}} Export this into your temporary directory: {{{ svn export http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb/tags/1.1.0 /tmp/couchdb/tag/1.1.0 }}} === Downloading the Release Artefacts === You should have a copy of the vote email with links to the committer's `dist` directory. It will look a bit like this: http://people.apache.org/~rnewson/dist/1.1.0/ Obviously, the `1.1.0` bit will change between releases. In this directory, you will find four files that look like this: * apache-couchdb-1.1.0.tar.gz * apache-couchdb-1.1.0.tar.gz.asc * apache-couchdb-1.1.0.tar.gz.md5 * apache-couchdb-1.1.0.tar.gz.sha You should now create a another temporary directory: {{{ mkdir /tmp/couchdb/dist }}} Change into it: {{{ cd /tmp/couchdb/dist }}} And then download these files: {{{ wget http://people.apache.org/~rnewson/dist/1.1.0/apache-couchdb-1.1.0.tar.gz wget http://people.apache.org/~rnewson/dist/1.1.0/apache-couchdb-1.1.0.tar.gz.asc wget http://people.apache.org/~rnewson/dist/1.1.0/apache-couchdb-1.1.0.tar.gz.md5 wget http://people.apache.org/~rnewson/dist/1.1.0/apache-couchdb-1.1.0.tar.gz.sha }}} If you don't have `wget` installed, you can use `curl -O` which should do the same thing.
