To publish a new package, follow the following steps

1/ get a clean up-to-date copy of the last svn version of wims
2/ check it
3/ update and run mkdistsvn to make the tgz file
4/ publish it on SourceSup




Here are some details : 


1/ **********
Login on your computer as "wims" (this is important).
Create on your computer a copy of the wims project "wimsdev" ("svn checkout..."). 
You need around 400Mb. 
If you have one already, check that it is up-to-date ("svn -u status" and "svn update")



2/ **********
Check possible errors (by compiling and trying by hand, or using checkwims or a test suite).
If you encounter errors, correct them, commit the changes and go to step 1.



3/ **********
Update the file mkdistsvn by writing at the beginning the version of the package, and the corresponding svn release.
Update the file src/configure by updating the version number everywhere it appears.
Be sure you don't keep anything of value in the "transfer" subdirectory of your home directory 
(which may be different from the directory containing the copy of wimsdev).
This is where mkdistsvn will work and store files, after erasing everything in it.
Check that you have at least 100Mb free for this directory.

Run the script mkdistsvn. This script exports files (i.e. makes a copy of the wims tree without the .svn directories) 
in $home/tranfer, then corrects file permissions, prepares the configuration file (via autoconf), removes the
mkdistsvn and other useless files from this tree, and finally makes a compressed tar file of it.



4/ **********
Login on SourceSup, go to wimsdev project, tab "fichiers", click on "créer une nouvelle version".

Fill in the form with
nom de version ="wims-4.01e" (for instance)
type de fichier="Source .gz" (or simply gz) (don't forget to choose something !)
type de microprocesseur="Any"               (don't forget to choose something !)
Notes=Any comments about this version 
journaux=give here the main changes since last version, or write "See src/Changelog"

Send it. That's all !
You may then commit on svn the updates made in step 3/
