| | 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. |
