I seem to remember, perhaps incorrectly, that there was some documentation on the steps necessary in order to create a new release of ooRexx.  However, my cursory attempt at locating it has come up empty.  If anyone else remembers such a document and, more importantly, where it is, please let us know.  In our attempt to get 5.0.0 "out the door", I would hate to think that we might be making mistakes either of omission or commission. Just my two cents worth.

@P.O.: is it possible for you to have the Jenkins creations work on /docs/branches/5.0.0 and main/branches/5.0.0?


Yes, I can do the necessary changes to the Jenkins build and test scripts as well as to the uploading scripts for the Artifacts and the Documentation when we are ready.

Super!

We will need to look whether and what we need to change in the documentation and installation production for ooRexx 5.0.

Also an idea: once we have the installation packages for all the operating systems created it may be helpful for people wishing to evaluate ooRexx 5.0.0 without installing it to create portable versions of those packages (make portable) and place the resulting zip-archives either in a subdirectory "portable" or into a different location in the files menu. This may prove helpful for future versions as well as starting with ooRexx 5.0.0 there may be different versions usable in parallel/concurrently.

Anyone who gives a helping hand is highly appreciated! :)

Ideally we should have a 5.0.0 folder on sourceforge for the frozen  „Release“ version and then a 5.0.1beta for all the work committed to the next release. I assume there is a lot of work to be done with the status of all bug reports as well, I have no experience of these parts so I hope someone else can come forward for doing that.

Yes, this has a little time though. When creating a new folder there is an option for staging it for three days which means that we as developers can use it, but no one would see it. This allows us to experiment and to change the content of that directory.

Until then (next week?) I would not change anything there at this point in time.

Also, we probably need to increase the version number of ooRexx in trunk from 5.0.0 probably to 5.1.0 and the standard installation packages produced by Jenkins would then go to "5.1.0beta"?

Are there other changes we should apply to trunk?
