How to build a Koha release -- list of reminders for RMs
Update and document the translations
+ ./update.pl will update all translations and you can check for
+ failed ones (a copy of the previous version of the po file is
+ stored with a ~ (tilda) sign after it, so any that don't have that
+ didn't succeed
Install and test the translations
+ ./translate install will install every translation in the po dir
Upload the translations to translate.koha.org
+ This is generally done by deleting the database and importing
+ the po files using the import tool as part of kartouche
Update the release notes (look at git logs for
major improvements)
Alter the VERSION string in Makefile.PL and comment
-out VERSION_FROM
+out VERSION_FROM. For instance:
+ VERSION => '3.00.00-stable',
+ #VERSION_FROM => 'kohaversion.pl',
run perl Makefile.PL and then make manifest tardist
+
