| How to make a Python-distribution. |
| ---------------------------------- |
| |
| These notes are mainly for myself, or for whoever tries to make a MacPython |
| distribution when I'm fed up with it. They were last updated for 2.1b2. |
| |
| - Increase fragment version number in PythonCore and PythonCoreCarbon. |
| the fragment number is Python's sys.hexversion, it should be set in the |
| "PEF" preferences. |
| - Increase version number in _versioncheck.py |
| - Build PythonStandSmall, run once in root folder |
| - Update Relnotes, readme's, Demo:build.html |
| - Make sure tkresources.rsrc is up-to-date |
| - fullbuild everything with increase-buildno |
| - Update Numeric and build/install it both with Classic and with Carbon python |
| - Run configurepython |
| - mkdistr binary.include |
| - mkdistr dev.include |
| - make distribution archive with Installer Vise |
| Things to make sure of: |
| - Finder icon positions |
| - Version numbers in "Packages..." window |
| - Version number in "Installer Settings" -> "Easy Install Text" |
| - Version number in "Project" -> Attributes |
| - Version number in "Project" -> PostProcess |
| - Version number in "Internet" -> "Download Sites" |
| - Version number in "Internet" -> "File Groups". |
| - test on virgin systems (OSX, OS9, OS8 without Carbon). Make sure to test |
| tkinter too. |
| - Upload |
| - Update README file in ftp directory |
| - Change version number in public_html/macpythonversion.txt . |
| - Update macpython.html |
