 ===== Rolling Evergreen and OpenSRF releases =====
 ==== Rolling an OpenSRF release ====
-Rough notes, assuming you're using ''/home/dan'' as your working directory and cutting a new branch from trunk to rel_1_4. In most real world cases, it would be rel_1_4 to rel_1_4_#. Also, you would normally tag the release.
+Rough notes, assuming you're using ''/home/dan'' as your working directory and cutting a new tagged release from the rel_2_0 branch.
   - Create a new branch:<code>
-svn copy svn://svn.open-ils.org/OpenSRF/trunk svn://svn.open-ils.org/OpenSRF/branches/rel_1_4 -m "Create rel_1_4 branch for next major OpenSRF release"</code>
+svn copy svn://svn.open-ils.org/OpenSRF/branches/rel_2_0 svn://svn.open-ils.org/OpenSRF/tags/rel_2_0_0_rc2
-  - Create a clean export of the data: <code>svn export svn://svn.open-ils.org/OpenSRF/branches/rel_1_4 /home/dan/OpenSRF-rel_1.4.0</code>
+  -m "Tag for 2.0.0 RC2 release"</code>
-  - Generate ./configure file: <code>cd /home/dan/OpenSRF-rel_1.4.0; ./autogen.sh</code>
+  - Generate a ChangeLog in reverse chronological order: <code>svn2cl --group-by-day --separate-daylogs --linelen 90 -r HEAD:2020 svn://svn.open-ils.org/OpenSRF/branches/rel_2_0</code>
-  - Generate a ChangeLog in reverse chronological order: svn2cl --group-by-day --separate-daylogs -r HEAD:1728 svn://svn.open-ils.org/OpenSRF/branches/rel_1_4
+    * Note: I have started creating ChangeLogs that show the cumulative changes for a given release, distinguishing between alphas, betas, and point releases. Basically ''cat ChangeLog.old >> ChangeLog.new'' and add a header distinguishing each block of changes. That way we will not have to link to ten different ChangeLogs if we reach 1.6.10.
-  (on Karmic, requires grabbing an updated stylesheet directly from http://arthurdejong.org/svn2cl/downloads.html and dumping into /etc/svn2cl/svn2cl.xsl)
+  - Update the ChangeLog in the tagged release (check it in to the tag)
-  - Tar it up: <code>cd /home/dan; tar czf OpenSRF-rel_1.4.0-beta.tar.gz OpenSRF-rel_1.4.0-beta</code>
+  - Update the version stamp in the tagged release (edit src/perl/lib/OpenSRF.pm)
-  - Create an md5 hash for the package: <code>md5sum OpenSRF-rel_1_4_0-beta.tar.gz > OpenSRF-rel_1.4.0-beta.tar.gz.md5</code>
+  - Create a clean export of the data: <code>svn export svn://svn.open-ils.org/OpenSRF/tags/rel_2_0_0_rc2 /home/dan/opensrf-2.0.0-rc2</code> As of 1.6.0, we have started using lower case directory and package names to comply with Debian packaging standards.
+  - Generate ./configure file: <code>cd /home/dan/opensrf-2.0.0-rc2; ./autogen.sh</code>
+  - Tar it up: <code>cd /home/dan; tar czf opensrf-2.0.0-rc2.tar.gz opensrf-2.0.0-rc2</code>
+  - Create an md5 hash for the package: <code>md5sum opensrf-2.0.0-rc2.tar.gz > opensrf-2.0.0-rc2.tar.gz.md5</code>
+  - //Bonus hygiene step:// Take the tarball you just created and test installing OpenSRF from it; at the very least, ensure that ''make check'' passes.
