How to Update Twisted

• Get the desired snapshot from subversion:

svn co -r11303 svn://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/trunk Twisted-r11303

Subversion 1.0.5 client may be built from the tarball at http://downloads.osafoundation.org/compilers/osx/svn-1.0.5.tar.gz ; look in the file subversion-1.0.5/config.log to see the configure parameters I used on Mac OS X.

• Create the tar archive ("tarball") for the build:

tar --exclude=doc --exclude=sandbox --exclude=.svn -czvf Twisted-r11303.tar.gz Twisted-r11303

• Modify the patches file if necessary: a. copy existing patch file, rename it to new version number. cp patches-r11245 patches-r11303 b. edit the patch file to change the directory paths so they match the new version

• Modify external/Makefile so that twisted/Twisted-XXXXXX.tar.gz has the new version number and the master version number at the top of the file is one higher than the previous

• Run "make sources" in external to generate the correct sources-<new-version>.tar and upload sources-<new-version>.tar to oahu

• Using an account on the build machines, generate a new debug-<new-version>.tar.gz and release-<new-version>.tar.gz for each platform: (in external) make DEBUG=1 expand build binaries upload make build binaries upload

• Test the new binaries package on each platform: make a new test directory (test-<new-version>) cd test-<new-version> cvs co chandler-python (edit (tt>chandler/Makefile so that ARCHIVES=../$(SNAP)-<version>.tar.gz matches) make DEBUG=1 install;make install ../hardhat/hardhat.py -vt ../hardhat/hardhat.py -vdt

• Checkin the new external/Makefile, external/twisted/Makefile and external/twisted/patches-<new-version>

• Checkin chandler/Makefile with new version for ARCHIVES
