Things to do to release a version of SCons:
Build and test candidate packages
test on Linux
test on Windows NT
1) tar zxf scons-src-{version}.tar.gz
cd scons-src-{version}
python runtest.py -a
2) tar zxf scons-{version}.tar.gz
cd scons-{version}
python setup.py install
cd scons-src-{version}
python runtest.py -a -x C:\Python15\scons.bat
3) scons-{verson}.win32.exe
cd scons-src-{version}
python runtest.py -a -x C:\Python15\scons.bat
Read through the README.txt file for any updates
Prepare src/CHANGES.txt
date -R the latest release
should be current if this has been updated as each
change went in.
Prepare src/RELEASE.txt
date -R the latest release
Can probably keep a lot of the existing text, read
it through to make sure it's okay and edit appropriately.
Prepare debian/changelog
date -R the latest release

Announce to the following mailing lists (template below):
scons-announce@lists.sourceforge.net
scons-users@lists.sourceforge.net
scons-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
[right away]
python-announce@python.org
[right away, it's moderated and will take
some time to get through]
linux-announce@news.ornl.gov
[right away, it's moderated and will take
some time to get through]
[optional] cons-discuss@gnu.org
[only if it's a really big announcement,
I said we wouldn't bug this list]
python-list@python.org
[wait until business hours so the announcemnt
hits mailboxes while U.S. workers are active]
Notify www.cmtoday.com/contribute.html
[This guy wants an announcement no more frequently than
once a month, so save it for a future release if it's
been too soon since the previous one.]
Notify freshmeat.net
[Wait until the morning so the announcement hits the
main freshmeat.net page while people in the U.S. are
awake and working]
=======================
Template release announcement:
I'm pleased to announce that version 0.XXX of SCons has been released
and is available for download from the SCons web site:
http://www.scons.org/
Or through the download link at the SCons project page at SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scons/
RPM and Debian packages and a Win32 installer are all available, in
addition to the traditional .tar.gz files.
SCons is a software construction tool (build tool, make tool) written
in Python. Its design is based on the design which won the Software
Carpentry build tool competition in August 2000 (in turn derived from
the Perl-based Cons build tool).
Distinctive features of SCons include:
- configuration files are Python scripts, allowing the full use of a
real scripting language to solve build problems
- a modular architecture allows the SCons Build Engine to be
embedded in other Python software
- a global view of all dependencies; no multiple passes to get
everything built
- the ability to scan files for implicit dependencies (#include files);
- improved parallel build (-j) support
- use of MD5 signatures to decide if a file has changed
- easily extensible through user-defined Builder and Scanner objects
An scons-users mailing list has been created for those interested in
getting started using SCons. You can subscribe at:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scons-users
Alternatively, we invite you to subscribe to the low-volume
scons-announce mailing list to receive notification when new versions of
SCons become available:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scons-announce
Special thanks to XXX for his/her/their contributions to this release.
On behalf of the SCons team,
--SK
