Congratulations Craig! I'll volunteer to get the 2.4.3 release out of the door. As I work through the process I'll try to document the steps in a checklist for future reference.
Here is the release to-do list I have so far. I'll get started on a draft of the release notes and known problems list. Please feel free to reply with corrected order, additions/mods to the to-do list, and/or other suggestions. I'm going to start by taking the current CVS snapshot as the 2.4.3 roll-up candidate. I'll keep posting as I work through the list. Thanks in advance for any help required! --Chris =================== PDL release process =================== - update release notes, known_problems => I'll draft up these from the current Changes file => with the Known_problems, I'm not sure what has been => fixed and what not, here are the outstanding items: [1] Modern versions of MakeMaker (e.g. 6.22) fail to compile PDL => I don't know. [2] FFTW 3.0.1 is now out but is not supported (yet). => Keep this for 2.4.3 [3] PDL::Graphics::TriD doesn't seem to link correctly on the Mac => We've made a lot of changes with TriD, has this been retested? [4] t/fits.t test and PDL::IO::FITS module can show problems when used with old versions of the Astro::FITS::Header module. => I don't know - update version (mark beta) editing the version number in PDL.pm.PL (if I recall correctly) => aren't there specifics on the version number format and such => to work with CPAN? - tagging CVS. => I'm a CVS user by man page at the moment so more explicit => instructions on this would help - make test, make dist, make test with the freshly made dist - announce to list - let everyone make test on different platforms - update version (mark final) - make test, make dist, make test with freshly made dist - check in - issue new release in SF => How does this happen? - submit to CPAN => Doesn't this need to be done by the owner of the PDL module => on CPAN. I know when I was trying to test the cpan> build => with the cvs version I had problem entering the module into => my local database for testing - submit to /.
