[jazzplusplus-devel] File releases

[Dave F. <da...@da...>]

All,

Ok, we should make a file release.  :)  If someone wants to give up an rpm 
I'll do it.  (I can make a source tarball to release myself, no problem)

How I came to that conclusion is interesting.  :)  I started making file 
releases of pyAlarm a few months back, and it's been downloaded a lot since 
then.  Well, seems like a lot to me, but it gets 0-5 downloads a day, which 
is surprising considering it's just an alarm clock.  And I've been getting 
email (not a lot, but some) from people asking for a Windows version, and 
asking when it'll do <this> or <that>.  Still no patches submitted or 
anything, but it is a niche program.  So I think we'll do better for help if 
we make a file release.  A binary under Linux that people can download and 
execute and *see* that it works, and a source tarball so people can download 
it and screw with the code.

So, if somebody wants to give up a binary package or three, send 'em my way 
and I'll do the file release.  Having just done several for pyAlarm, I'm 
getting familiar with sourceforge's system for file releases.  I'll try to do 
at least a source tarball in the next week or so (we'll see) whether or not I 
have something binary to put up.

Thank you.  :)  It is done.  No binary packages, sorry.  Also, I just did a 
cvs checkout and tarred the whole thing.  No time to test "make dist" and 
tweak it until it's right, assuming it wouldn't work the first time.  (It is 
a new build system, after all)

Hopefully that'll get some people at least downloading it and playing with 
it.  :)

I'm getting good at this file release thing.  :)  It's a piece of cake.  Heh.  
(been clearing out older projects sitting on my hard drive and releasing or 
deleting them, so I've made a few releases recently)  Here's hoping we'll get 
someone to come along and throw some patches at us, eh?

Re: [jazzplusplus-devel] File releases

[Dave F. <da...@da...>]

Here's our stats page, if you guys happen to get curious:

http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/?group_id=104252

18 downloads so far.  Not bad.  I released the first version of pyExtractor 
the same day, and it's got 16 downloads.  :)  (No history though, pyExtractor 
essentially appeared out of nowhere as far as anyone else is concerned)  No 
point, just that I'm checking stats right now of projects I've made releases 
for recently.  ;)

Page views are interesting.  I'll bet we'd easily start getting 50 downloads a 
day if we had a windows binary release.  *sigh*  So much work, so little 
time.  I want to move to Mars so I can have 30 hour days instead of these 
piddly 24-hour days.

It would be fun to try to cross-compile jazz++ on linux with mingw.
(it was suggested earlier on this list I think)

If we achieved that, we could even have daily builds and stuff ;-)

Heh, how very true :-)

71 downloads in 5 days.  Not bad for a broken source release.  :)  Now if 
people would just start telling us how it works for them....
