[Java-gnome-developer] 2.5.1 release plans

[Mark H. <mh...@ca...>]

Hi,
  I'm going away at the weekend and will have no internet access for a
while, so I'll miss the release unless you decide you want it tomorrow.
I think we have everything in place though - it's just a matter of
seeing how many of the new widgets we can add before making the
tarballs. It's great to be getting so many emails about cvs commits. 

I've updated the buildtarballs script so the doc packages should build
fine.
Before making the 2.5.1 tarballs, two files need to be edited:
common/configure.in.version
build/maketarballs.sh
These both list the version as 2.5.0+cvs - they need changing to 2.5.1
The tarballs should build as before with the maketarballs scripts.

I'm not sure about the procedure for releasing to gnome - probably have
to upload to some ftp server somewhere. I guess instructions will be
sent to language-bindings list before the deadline.

AFAIK, the only other thing we have to do is declare our modules to the
gnome bindings list, so they can update the website. I think this is
correct:

cvs branch: HEAD (for all tarballs)

tarball: libgtk-java
CVS: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/java-gnome/java-gnome/gtk/
Binding for: GTK+, pango, atk, gdk, glib

tarball: libgnome-java
CVS: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/java-gnome/java-gnome/gnome/
Binding for: libgnome, libgnomeui, libgnomecanvas

tarball: libglade-java
CVS: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/java-gnome/java-gnome/glade/
Binding for: libglade

tarball: java-gnome-doc-core
CVS: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/java-gnome/java-gnome/doc-core/

tarball: java-gnome-doc-gnome
CVS: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/java-gnome/java-gnome/doc-gnome/

tarball: java-gnome-doc-glade
CVS: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/java-gnome/java-gnome/doc-glade/

Notes:
 - These packages build two ABI's - one for running applications in a
   JVM, one for running applications natively (compiled with gcj)
 - Other bindings are available; More are in the TODO list
 - An all-in-one tarball is also available containing everything. 

Is that correct? should I send it?
