=Bootstrap= | |||
[http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/tools/release/ Bootstrap] is a simple Perl framework intended to take the formerly manual release process and automate it, with as little change to the process as possible. | |||
Bootstrap is invoked using the "release" command, and supports a set of high-level "steps": | |||
<b>Tag</b> - tag, branch, apply version bumps to all relevant files.<br> | |||
<b>TinderConfig</b> - generate tinderbox config files (mozconfig/tinder-config.pl)<br> | |||
<b>Build</b> - invoke Tinderbox client to create and en-US build and publish to FTP<br> | |||
<b>Source</b> - create a source tarball and push it to FTP<br> | |||
<b>Repack</b> - invoke Tinderbox client to create localized versions of en-US build and publish to FTP<br> | |||
<b>PatcherConfig</b> - create a [http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/tools/patcher/ Patcher] config file for generating updates<br> | |||
<b>Updates</b> - invoke Patcher to create partial updates and [http://wiki.mozilla.org/AUS AUS] configuration<br> | |||
<b>Stage</b> - create a staging area and rename files for release<br> | |||
<b>Sign</b> - not implemented<br> | |||
