These are notes for the maintainer.

Steps to release:
|
|
|
|
- Test the build:
|
|
|
|
make realclean
|
|
Set up environment variables, c-config.h if required.
|
|
perl Makefile.PL PANELS MENUS FORMS
|
|
make
|
|
perl -Mblib -MCurses -e1
|
|
|
|
- make realclean
|
|
|
|
- Update HISTORY file with description of new stuff and release date.
|
|
|
|
- Update version number in Curses.pm (search for VERSION).
|
|
|
|
- Make a tarball with something like this:
|
|
|
|
tar --file=/tmp/Curses-1.07.tgz --gzip --create Curses-1.07
|
|
|
|
- Upload via pause.perl.org. Use "upload a file to CPAN" link.
|
|
You have to login to make that link appear.
|
|
|
|
It goes into CPAN in the directory belonging to the user who
|
|
uploaded it. PAUSE gives you various options for uploading, tells
|
|
you how to follow the progress of the uploading and indexing, and
|
|
sends you emails about it.
|
|
|
|
- PAUSE will automatically extract the README file from the tarball
|
|
and install it as e.g. Curses-1.07.readme
|
|
|
|
- PAUSE will open the tarball automatically and index the packages it finds
|
|
in there by name (Curses::Window, Curses::Screen, etc.).
|
|
|
|
It will find and index the package "Gen" and extract its README too. I'm
|
|
pretty sure this is wrong -- this looks like it's just supposed to be a
|
|
private thing used in the build. Someday, we should find a way to stop
|
|
this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Bryan's test system:
|
|
|
|
export CURSES_LDFLAGS="-L/usr/link/ncurses -lncurses -ldl"
|
|
export CURSES_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/ncurses"
|
|
|
|
|
|
GEN
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The package is designed to have all the distributed code files
|
|
(Curses.pm, CursesFun.c, etc.) generated by the programs in gen/ .
|
|
This is supposed to handle the myriad Ncurses functions with less
|
|
tedium than manually editing the files.
|
|
|
|
However, Bryan doesn't know how the Gen stuff works, so he has been
|
|
making the small updates necessary directly to the distributed files.
|
|
But the changes are modest, so it should be possible some day to
|
|
generate new files, diff to see what changed, and put those changes
|
|
into the Gen programs.
|

|
|
ppport.h
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
You generate this by running the function Devel::PPPort::WriteFile().
|
|
|
|
There shouldn't be any need to generate a new one unless there are
|
|
updates to the Devel::PPPort package.
|
|
|
|
A comment in ppport.h says it was generated by Perl 5.006002. That's
|
|
a lie.
