Process
Create a release directory under http://svn.xiph.org/releases/
If you are uploading the first release of a project to Xiph.org, then first create a release directory in the svn repository. You can do this using remote svn commands (rather than checking out the entire Xiph.org release archive):
svn mkdir http://svn.xiph.org/releases/PROJECTNAME
Then check that directory out locally:
svn co http://svn.xiph.org/releases/PROJECTNAME PROJECTNAME-releases
Add new release files
Add tarballs etc. to your local checkout of the release directory:
cd PROJECTNAME-releases svn add PROJECTNAME-x.x.x.tar.gz
Then, generate MD5 and SHA1 checksums for these files:
md5sum *.tar.gz > MD5SUMS sha1sum *.tar.gz > SHA1SUMS
Check that the only modifications to the checksums are for the new files:
svn diff
If everything is ok (and the checksums for other files have not changed), commit:
svn commit
Update http://www.xiph.org/downloads/
The downloads page is in the normal svn repository for www.xiph.org:
svn co http://svn.xiph.org/websites/xiph.org/downloads/
Update it with your release tarball name and checksum, and commit.
Mail appropriate lists
Mail your release notes to appropriate project lists. You may also want to send news to:
Linux Weekly News <lwn@lwn.net> comp.os.linux.announce <cola@stump.algebra.com>
Tools
Sebastian Pipping has a script to add tarballs and update the appropriate web pages for libxspf: update.sh. You may want to adapt this for your project.
