Release Process
When making a Stable Branch from which to build releases, we need to do these tasks:
Check that all works with a released version of Web2Py
Ensure included files sane:
- README
- VERSION (updated automatically by Bzr start-commit hook)
- INSTALL
- CHANGELOG
Compress JS & CSS files
Browsers default to only downloading 2 files from the same origin at a time, so many files is very slow on high latency links.
We therefore consolidate into fewer, larger files when running in Production mode.
Since GIS is a specialised app which requires many files, it's JS & CSS are loaded separately when required.
The build script is static/scripts/tools/build.sahana.py
There is also a convenience wrapper for Windows to run this & also move results into their respective locations: static/scripts/tools/build.cmd
NB sahana.css
is built from template.css
so that Themes can be updated dynamically from the WebUI
Need to remove the '@' from '@requires' in header of /static/S3/jquery.form.js
as we need to compress this without the main file.
Our build process is based on the one used by MapFish (which is built on the one used by OpenLayers)
- MapFish (inc OL): https://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/HowToBuild
- OpenLayers: http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/Profiles
ToDo: Investigate using other options instead:
- http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/
- http://www.crowproductions.de/repos/main/public/packer/jspacker.py
Clear Database
To clear database of test data & reset to defaults:
- Close Web2Py
- Delete all files from
/databases
- Delete all files from
/errors
- Delete all files from
/sessions
NB This assumes that all required settings are being generated upon intialisation as per the Framework
