How to do an Elips delivery

Contents of a delivery

A delivery must contain the following items :

• Elips.war file wich is the application in a specific zip form for Jsp servers

• CreateElipsDB.sql file which contains the SQL command for initializing the database

• installation.html file which contains the introduction part for installing Elips

These three files must be put inside a zip file which the name is Elips_<version number>.zip

This target file must then put on sourceforge by :

1. FTPing it on ftp://upload.sourceforge.net

2. creating a new release in http://souceforge.net/projects/opinionplugin

3. assotiating the uploaded file with the newly created version

Naming a delivery

A delivery will be of two kinds :

• a production release, ie a version which can be used by users. It is named VX.Y.Z where X is a major release number which is incremented whenever a major functionality has been added or deleted, Y is the minor release number which is incremented whenever a new functionality, or some important changes have been made, and finally Z the maintenance number which is incremented whenever a bug is corrected, or a functionnality is enhanced, ...

• an integration release : this kind of release is made whenever we want to produce a version for testing and validation purpose but which is not intended to be a production release yet... Nevertheless, people may want to to use it... It is named I<daydate>, eg I061203 and eventually I061203_x where x is the number of version in the day.
