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
  • INSTALL
  • CHANGELOG

Clear Database

To clear database of test data & reset to defaults:

  • Close Web2Py
  • Delete all files from /databases & /uploads

Clean the files which are created by the deployment-templates of all personal data (i.e. overwrite with version from deployment-templates):

  • cron/crontab
  • models/000_config.py

Update Language Files

python web2py.py -S eden -R applications\eden\static\scripts\tools\languages.py

Merge any updates from ​Pootle

Export Application

This could be scripted: 

cd /home/web2py
# @ToDo: Clean
# Compile
python web2py.py -S eden -M -R applications/eden/static/scripts/tools/compile.py
# @ToDo: Catch errors
# @ToDo: Pack
# @ToDo: Download with filename

Test

Import the app with a new name & Test

Upload to LaunchPad
