Checklist updates from the website revamp.
I've now made a new section about how to turn on pre-release mode, because although it's been carefully made trivial within the website repo itself, there are still several things in other places I need to edit. Also added a note to myself to turn off nightly pre-release builds after the release has gone out. I found on a previous occasion that my build machine had been building them for months after they were needed, which was harmless to the website but a waste of CPU!

Going into pre-release stabilisation
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
When we begin to work towards a release and want to enabling
|
||||
pre-releases on the website:
|
||||
|
||||
- Make a branch whose tip will be the current state of the
|
||||
pre-release. Regardless of whether the branch is from master or
|
||||
from a prior release branch, the name of the branch must now be in
|
||||
the form 'pre-X.YZ', or else the website will fail to link to it
|
||||
properly in gitweb and the build script will check out the wrong
|
||||
thing.
|
||||
|
||||
- Edit ~/adm/puttysnap.sh on my build machine to set $prerelver correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
- Edit ~/adm/puttysnap.sh on the master machine to enable pre-release
|
||||
builds, by changing the 'if false' to 'if true'.
|
||||
|
||||
- Put the website into pre-release mode, by defining prerel_version()
|
||||
in components/Base.mc to return the upcoming version number. Also
|
||||
add a news announcement in components/news. (Previous naming
|
||||
convention has been to name it in the form 'X.YZ-pre.mi'.)

||||
