2.0 Release Process

The release branch has been created and the llvm-gcc mirror updated (thanks Bill!). I will be doing some preliminary testing before I request the help of the community to test the release.

During this time, I ask that developers only commit documentation changes to the release branch and email the list with any bug fixes that need to be merged into the release branch. Bug fixes have to be approved by the various owners of the different parts of llvm.

Here is the schedule:

May 7th - Release branch created. Developers should begin reviewing all documentation.

May 14th - Tar balls and binaries are released for general testing. I'll also need volunteers to create additional llvm-gcc binaries that I have not provided.

May 18th - All documentation changes should have been merged into the release branch.

May 21st - Release!

Chris will also be sending out the release notes and release announcement for review in the next week.

As a reminder, if you wish to check out the release branch use the following commands (also see GettingStartedGuide.html):

cvs -d <CVS Repository> co -r release_20 llvm
cvs -d <CVS Repository> co -r release_20 llvm-test svn co svn://anonsvn.opensource.apple.com/svn/llvm/tags/release-2.0 dst-directory

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Tanya

What about the migration to SubVersion? Is it related to release of LLVM2.0?

How will the svn migration happen? When should it be preferable or possible
to use the svn command (instead of cvs) to get the latest LLVM source code?

probably, you’ll find the answer here: http://llvm.org/SVNMigration.html

Hello, Basile.

What about the migration to SubVersion? Is it related to release of LLVM2.0?

No. It will be (possible) in the mid June.

How will the svn migration happen?

Soon after migration :slight_smile:
