1 | Working with the the wxWidgets release system |
| 2 | ===================================== | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | Currently, to generate the release tarballs, wxWidgets uses a script which | |
| 5 | reads from a series of manifest files to determine which files should be | |
| 6 | installed for a particular port. This document explains how to alter the list | |
| 7 | of files that are distributed in the release tarballs. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | The scripts are located in the <wxWidgets root>/distrib/scripts folder, with | |
| 10 | create_archives.sh doing most of the work to create the actual tarballs. | |
| 11 | pre-flight.sh runs the entire process of doing a checkout, building the releases, | |
| 12 | and putting them into the <wxWidgets root>/deliver folder. The manifest files | |
| 13 | are located in the <wxWidgets root>/distrib/scripts/manifests folder and | |
| 14 | they have a .rsp extension for historical reasons. | |
| 15 | ||

| 17 | Adding/removing a file from releases | |
| 18 | ------------------------------------ | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | First, you must decide which tarballs you'd like to make the change to, in | |
| 21 | order to determine which manifest file(s) the file should appear in. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | Below is a list of each port and the primary manifest files that are used to | |
| 24 | generate that release. The "ALL" in the list is not for wxALL, it means that | |
| 25 | those manifests are where things that go in all ports should be. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | tarball primary manifests | |
| 28 | ------- ---------------- | |
| 29 | ALL generic.rsp | |
| 30 | wxBase base.rsp | |
| 31 | wxMSW msw.rsp, wince.rsp | |
| 32 | wxOS2 os2.rsp | |
| 33 | wxGTK gtk.rsp | |
| 34 | wxMAC mac.rsp cocoa.rsp | |
| 35 | wxMotif motif.rsp | |
| 36 | wxMGL mgl.rsp | |
| 37 | wxX11 x11.rsp | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | Once you've decided which manifest file is most appropriate to add your file | |
| 40 | in, then open that manifest and add a line with your file(s) at the bottom. | |
| 41 | The file(s) should give the path relative to the wxWidgets root directory, | |
| 42 | like so: | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | docs/tech/tn0033.txt | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | At the current time, wildcards in filenames are also accepted. Once the files are | |
| 47 | added, they should show up in releases when distrib/scripts/pre-flight.sh is run. | |
