How to package and release an OpenACS Package

In this example, we are packaging and releasing myfirstpackage as version 1.0.0, which is compatible with OpenACS 5.0.x.

  1. Update the version number, release date, and package maturity of your package in the APM.

  2. Make sure all changes are committed.

  3. Tag the updated work.:

    cd /var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME/packages/myfirstpackage
    cvs tag myfirstpackages-1-0-0-final
    cvs tag -F openacs-5-0-compat
    

Done. The package will be added to the repository automatically. If the correct version does not show up within 24 hours, ask for help on the OpenACS.org development forum.
