[ jEdit-devel ] Changes to Plugin announcement instructions and request for help

[Jeffrey H. <jc...@gm...>]

Plugin developers,

I've made a few minor changes to
http://plugins.jedit.org/releasing.php.  Basically they reflect the
fact that the CVS repositories have been frozen.  As a result of this,
we ask that when providing a plugin release, you actually tag the
release.  While the SVN release number will uniquely identify the code
to be released, our packaging scripts can't use that, and it's far
less useful historically.  Please provide an actual tag; we've been
doing it, but it would help quite a bit if you did it yourselves, AND
you get to ensure the naming convention is one you prefer.  Tagging in
SVN is similar to:

svn cp -m 'release 1.3'
https://jedit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jedit/plugins/ShortcutDisplay/trunk
https://jedit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jedit/plugins/ShortcutDisplay/tags/release-1-3

Also, I put out a call for help.  I would like to automate a bit more
of the packaging process and need some PHP/MySQL help.  I need someone
who can create an automated process to take a file upload and/or text
pasted into a web form, parse it, and put the results into a database.
If interested, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jeff
