<h2>Releasing application versions</h2>
|
|
|
|
The <code>update_versions</code> script
|
|
releases new application versions.
|
|
It makes the needed database entries and copies files
|
|
to the download directory.
|
|
<p>
|
|
To use:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Create an 'apps directory' under the project directory.
|
|
Add an ", htmlspecialchars("<app_dir>"),
|
|
" element to config.xml giving the path of the apps directory.
|
|
<li> Create a subdirectory for each application,
|
|
with the same name as the application.
|
|
Put new application versions here.
|
|
<code>update_versions</code>
|
|
scans these directories for new application versions.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
File names must be of the form <code>NAME_VERSION_PLATFORM[.ext]</code>, e.g.:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
boinc_3.17_i686-pc-linux-gnu.gz
|
|
astropulse_7.17_windows_intelx86.exe
|
|
</pre>
|
|
The prefix name and extensions .gz, .exe, .sit are ignored.
|
|
Platform strings must match the names of platforms in the database.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
TO DO: check for code signature files.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Multiple-file application versions</h3>
|
|
|
|
Application versions can consist of multiple files.
|
|
Follow the above procedure, but create a directory
|
|
with the given name, and put the files in that directory.
|
|
The executable file with the lexicographically first name
|
|
will be treated as the main program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Releasing core client versions</h2>
|
|
|
|
The same mechanism is used to release core client versions:
|
|
Create a subdirectory 'boinc' in the apps directory,
|
|
put new core client installer files there, and run update_versions.
|
|
Core client versions will be visible to participants
|
|
on your project's 'Download BOINC' web page.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>NOTE</b>: the files distributed in this way are installers,
|
|
not executables.
|
|
Instructions for creating installers are
|
|
<a href=ssl_client_release_instructions.txt>here</a>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>NOTE</b>: in the interests of consistency,
|
|
we recommend that BOINC projects not distribute core client versions,
|
|
but rather set the 'Download BOINC' link on their web page
|
|
to point to the download page on the main BOINC site.
