[Sugar-devel] Releasing activities on ASLO

[James Cameron]

Others have answered correctly.  Thanks.

Yes, include release notes in NEWS and on activities.sugarlabs.org.
See previous NEWS entries in activity repositories for how to write
them, and if in doubt ask for review.

Making a bundle is usually done with the dist_xo target of setup.py,
but there are some activities where the bundle is made some other
way.  If in doubt, compare your new bundle with the old bundle.

may be useful for automating the upload step.

As you don't have an OLPC XO yourself, a full test is difficult.
Testing in a virtual machine can help.  You can ask others to test.
Open an issue in the repository, and fill in this template;

Call for testing

* git hash or tag to be tested,

* environment to be tested in, e.g. Fedora 18 on OLPC XO,

* brief release notes (e.g. NEWS) since last release.

People who can test and have demonstrated a willingness to test
for developers are myself, Ibiam, and Walter.  Hrishi also has a
working Fedora 18 instance.
