Shell Flags (shFlags) is a library written to greatly simplify the handling of command-line flags in Bourne based Unix shell scripts (bash, dash, ksh, sh, zsh) on many Unix OSes (Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, etc.). Most shell scripts use getopt for flags processing, but the different versions of getopt on various OSes make writing portable shell scripts difficult. shFlags instead provides an API that doesn't change across shell and OS versions so the script writer can be confident that the script will work. shFlags is a port of the google-gflags C++/Python library. This fork is using the shFlags version 1.0.4 updated by Andreas Schuh for the Cmake-basis project: https://github.com/schuhschuh/cmake-basis

shFlags 1.0.x README


code.google.com


This project is stored on code.google.com as http://code.google.com/p/shflags/.
Documentation is available there, as are all releases and source code. The
source code is stored in Subversion and can be accessed using the following
information.


Browse the code in a web browser:



Check out the code locally



$ svn checkout http://shflags.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ shflags-read-only

Documentation is available on the web at
http://code.google.com/p/shflags/wiki/Documentation10x.




Making a release


For these steps, it is assumed we are working with release 1.0.0.


Steps:



  • write release notes

  • update version

  • finish changelog

  • check all the code in

  • tag the release

  • export the release

  • create tarball

  • md5sum the tarball and sign with gpg

  • update website

  • post to code.google.com and Freshmeat



Write Release Notes


This should be pretty self explainatory. Use one of the release notes from a
previous release as an example.




Update Version


Edit src/shflags and change the version number in the FLAGS_VERSION
variable.




Finish Documentation


Make sure that any remaning changes get put into the CHANGES-X.X.txt file.


Finish writing the RELEASE_NOTES-X.X.X.txt. Once it is finished, run it
through the fmt command to make it pretty. (This assumes the lines weren't
already wrapped at 80 chars when the file was edited.)



$ fmt -w 80 RELEASE_NOTES-2.0.0.txt >RELEASE_NOTES-2.0.0.txt.new
$ mv RELEASE_NOTES-2.0.0.txt.new RELEASE_NOTES-2.0.0.txt

We want to have an up-to-date version of the documentation in the release, so
we'd better build it.



$ pwd
.../shflags/source/1.0
$ rst2html --stylesheet-path=doc/rst2html.css README.txt >README.html



Check In All the Code


This step is pretty self-explainatory



$ pwd
.../shflags/source/1.0
$ svn ci -m "finalizing 1.0.0 release"



Tag the Release



$ cd ..
$ pwd
.../shflags/source
$ ls
1.0
$ svn cp -m "Release 1.0.0" 1.0 https://shflags.googlecode.com/svn/tags/1.0.0



Export the Release



$ cd ../builds
$ pwd
.../shflags/builds
$ svn export https://shflags.googlecode.com/svn/tags/1.0.0 shflags-1.0.0



Create the tarball



$ tar cfz ../releases/shflags-1.0.0.tgz shflags-1.0.0



Sign the tarball with gpg



$ cd ../releases
$ gpg --default-key kate.ward@forestent.com --detach-sign shflags-1.0.0.tgz



Post the release


To post the release, the ProjectInfo page needs to be updated with the release
info (release, date, and MD5), and the release with GPG signature needs to
uploaded.
