|
- Increase fragment version number in PythonCore and PythonCoreCarbon.
|
|
|
|
|
the fragment number is Python's sys.hexversion, it should be set in the
|
|
|
|
|
"PEF" preferences.

Things to make sure of:
|
2001-10-25 19:26:00 -03:00
|
|
|
- Version number in toplevel folder name
|
2001-03-27 17:38:55 -04:00
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
|

|
|
|
- Check for missing files. Do this by installing everything on your local system,
|
|
|
|
|
and comparing the file tree (CodeWarrior Compare is great for this) with
|
|
|
|
|
:Mac:Distributions:(vise):binary distribution and ....:dev distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
Only the :Lib:plat-xxxx should be missing. Otherwise go back to Installer Vise and
|
|
|
|
|
add the missing stuff. Make sure of all settings for the new files (esp. "where"
|
|
|
|
|
and "gestalt" are easy to miss).
|

|
|
|
- test on virgin systems (OSX, OS9, OS8 without Carbon). Make sure to test
|
|
|
|
|
tkinter too.
