MapFish Release Process

The pages lists the steps that must be achieved for releasing a new version of MapFish.

SVN branch

• create a branch of mapfish/trunk and name it x.y (x and y are the major and minor release num, respectively)

  svn copy  http://www.mapfish.org/svn/mapfish/trunk http://www.mapfish.org/svn/mapfish/branches/x.y
  

• change OpenLayers svn:externals property of MapFish/mfbase to appropriate OpenLayers release tag

  svn propedit svn:externals MapFish/client/mfbase
  

• fix the revision numbers of eggs in MapFish/server/python/setup.py

SVN tag

• create a tag of mapfish/branches/x.y and name it x.y

  svn copy http://www.mapfish.org/svn/mapfish/branches/x.y http://www.mapfish.org/svn/mapfish/tags/x.y
  

Demo server

• TODO: This should be more detailed once MapFishSample is migrated to the new deploy deploy system (ticket:99)
• (see https://project.camptocamp.com/doc/c2c_mapfish/MapFish/Infrastructure)
• Install a new set of data for the demo
• Run the deploy script
• Adjust Apache configuration for the new URL's

SVN trunk

• change the URLs to Camptocamp TileCache and WMS

Python eggs

• set the version number to x.y in source:/trunk/MapFish/server/python/setup.py
• build MapFish Python eggs for python 2.4 and 2.5. Instructions here
• make them available on http://dev.camptocamp.com/packages/eggs/

MapFish archives

• Log on the server. Replace x.y below by the branch name:

   cd /var/www/demo.mapfish.org/private/mapfish/scripts
   ./make_archives.sh /var/www/www.mapfish.org/htdocs/downloads/ x.y
  

• This will make the archives visible on
  • http://www.mapfish.org/downloads/MapFish-x.y.tar.gz
  • http://www.mapfish.org/downloads/MapFishSample-x.y.tar.gz
• Test that the archive content is correct (maybe adjust the script).

Data dumps

• The c2corg, geostat and editing dumps must be available on the web

Release page

• Create the Releases/x.y wiki page based on the template given on the Releases page
