Re: Re: New release of Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer?

Hi everyone, I have fixed a last bug, update the package.xml and now packaged a new version of which is downloadable at http://www.limesurvey.org/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer-0.9.2.tgz to be checked out. I tested various configurations (that's how I found the last minute open_base_dir problem) with the installed package. I also checked the documentation and found it still to be correct and working in this latest version of the package. To not delay a release any further I have passed the option to include sample code in the package this time. I agree that for future release this would be great and we will be doing this for sure. Please check out the package. Thank you! Best regards Carsten Schmitz Christian Weiske schrieb:

Hello Franck,

I think it would be great if you could push out a new release of Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer - you fixed some bugs, and some others have been fixed in the last years, too [1].

Why not ? But just a beta ? What is the procedure for releasing .

Up to now, SEW is beta software - and keeping that would be fine and I'd do the same. The procedure for releasing: - Update package.xml with the latest release notes. I already started that when I submitted your patches. Use the Closed-since-last-release link in the bugtracker to complete the task. Updating version number is already done - Copy release notes to changelog in package.xml, add yourself as lead. - package the package: $ pear package - Try to install it via pear (pear install packagename.tgz) - Run some scripts using the package from your home dir or any other dir except the svn src dir so in every case you get the installed version of the SEW files. - See that everything is fine - Upload the package to some temporary location where I and other devs can check it and try it out - Once we give green light, go to pear.php.net -> developers -> upload release and release the package I suggest you add some examples to the package. Look at Text_Figlet to see how to add them to your package (directory-wise in svn: docs/examples and in package.xml). Those examples should be available and runnable when you installed the package. (pear list-files Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer)

An another point : I am in holidays the next week for four weeks (and nearly not access to web) or the next week after the next week for three weeks (I don't remember). What is the procedure in this case ?

Send an e-mail to QA that you're away for some weeks and all is fine. [1] http://pear.php.net/bugs/search.php?cmd=display&package_name[]=Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer&status=CRSLR
