RELEASE-PROCEDURE

1) Develop, code, fix, add and test new functionalities as wanted/needed.
 1.a) Make sure that all files have:
      - License text on top
      - SVN keywords (command svn propset svn:keywords "Date Revision Author HeadURL Id" [-R] [directories/files])
 1.b) Keep ChangeLog file up-to-date

   1.c.i)   Modify the latex files
   1.c.ii)  Invoke make build-documentation
   1.c.iii) Commit all the latex, pdf/ps and html files into the SVN

2) Change the version if necessary - let's do this from a new checkout **
 2.a) in the configure.ac (see AC_INIT)
 2.b) in src/common/extrae_version.h
 2.c) bootstrap & configure to rebuild documentation (1.c)
 2.d) commit the documentation
 2.e) Prepare a package (e.g. make dist-bzip2) and install from /tmp
    2.e.1) run make check
    2.e.2) run the overhead tests
 2.f) add entry in ChangeLog (for the trunk or branch, in addition to the new tag)

3) Tag the release in the SVN
 3.a) If it is a new release (x.y.z version) with z = 0, make directory for it
      E.g. for 3.4.0: svn mkdir https://svn.bsc.es/repos/ptools/extrae/tags/3.4
 3.b) Actually tag:
      E.g. for 3.4.0: svn copy https://svn.bsc.es/repos/ptools/extrae/trunk https://svn.bsc.es/repos/ptools/extrae/tags/3.4/3.4.0

** If this wasn't done at the previous release step.

4) Specific issues:
    - Make sure the nanos/mercurium team tests the package if applies.

5) Generate binary packages using the buildfarm script
  - this makes sure that the package will compile at least on our environment -
  - also compile for:
      MN3 (need to upgrade module, use scripts from /apps/CEPBATOOLS/scripts)
      MT  (need to upgrade module, use scripts from /apps/CEPBATOOLS/scripts)
      bscpower8n1 (installation in /apps/CEPBATOOLS/extrae, use $EXTRAE_HOME/etc/configured.sh as reference)
      MB (MB sysadmins handle this)

6) Copy the documentation and add it to the buildfarm output to publish it in the webpage

7) Upload binary packages to:
   http://www.bsc.es/ssl/apps/performanceTools/admin/index.php

   Upload Extrae documentation (in both HTML & PDF formats) to:
