Added some help to OSX/Dist/README.txt, plus all the information
from the OS9 readme that is still relevant. Got rid of Distributions/readme.txt.

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 2.3a1.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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 NEWS, readme's, Demo:build.html
|
||||
- fullbuild everything with increase-buildno
|
||||
- Test with test.regrtest
|
||||
- Update Numeric and build/install it
|
||||
- Recompile OSAm and possibly other Contrib stuff
|
||||
- mkdistr binary.include
|
||||
- mkdistr dev.include
|
||||
- make distribution archive with Installer Vise
|
||||
Things to make sure of:
|
||||
- Version number in toplevel folder name
|
||||
- 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".
|
||||
- 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 (both OS9 and OSX).
|
||||
- Remove the local installation so you don't get confused by it.
|
||||
- checkin everything except PythonX.Y.vct.
|
||||
- mkdistr src.include
|
||||
- Rename "src distribution" and stuffit
|
||||
- Upload
|
||||
- Update README file in ftp directory
|
||||
- Change version number in public_html/macpythonversion.txt .
|
||||
- Update macpython.html
|
||||
- Send an announcement to:
|
||||
pythonmac-sig@python.org
|
||||
python-dev@python.org
|
||||
- Wait a day or so for catastrophic mistakes, then send an announcement to:
|
||||
python-announce@python.org
|
||||
archivist@info-mac.org
|
||||
adcnews@apple.com

|
||||
- Open PythonX.Y.vct again, use the "remove compressed files" command to trim down
|
||||
the size, commit.
|
||||
- Remove the subdires under (vise) so you don't get confused by them later.

This is a set of build scripts and such for MacPython-OSX 2.3 that I
|
||||
will use until there are standard distributions from Jack.
|
||||
Building a MacPython distribution
|
||||
=================================
|
||||
|
||||
The ``build`` shell script here creates MacPython distributions.
|
||||
It builds a complete framework-based Python out-of-tree, installs
|
||||
it in a funny place with $DESTROOT, massages that installation to remove
|
||||
.pyc files and such, creates an Installer package from the installation
|
||||
plus the stuff in ``resources`` and compresses that installer as a
|
||||
``.dmg`` disk image.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the steps you ned to follow to build a MacPython installer:
|
||||
|
||||
- There are various version numbers that need to be updated. Weed through
|
||||
``Mac/OSXResources``, ``Mac/scripts`` and ``Mac/Tools`` and inspect the
|
||||
various ``.plist`` and ``.strings`` files. Note that the latter are
|
||||
UTF-16 files.
|
||||
- Edit ``resource/ReadMe.txt`` and ``resources/Welcome.rtf`` to reflect
|
||||
version number and such.
|
||||
- Edit ``build`` to change ``PYVERSION``, ``PYVER`` and ``BUILDNUM``.
|
||||
- Run ``./build``. Optionally you can pass the name of the directory
|
||||
where Python will be built, so you don't have to wait for the complete
|
||||
build when you're debugging the process. For the final distribution use
|
||||
a clean build.
|
||||
- When done the script will tell you where the DMG image is.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently (November 2003) there is still a bug in the build procedure
|
||||
for $DESTROOT builds: building some of the applets will fail (in
|
||||
``Mac/OSX/Makefile``) if you don't have the same version of Python installed
|
||||
normally. So before doing the distribution you should build and install
|
||||
a framework Python in the normal way.
|
||||
|
||||
When all is done, announcements can be posted to at least the following
|
||||
places:
|
||||
- pythonmac-sig@python.org
|
||||
- python-dev@python.org
|
||||
- python-announce@python.org
|
||||
- archivist@info-mac.org

|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
After all this is done you may also need to update the Package Manager
|
||||
database for the new distribution. A description of this remains TBD.
