Discussion

Updating with a new moxiecode release (svn)

• In TinyMCEPlugin root directory in svn, use svn statusto confirm there are no extraneous files or local changes
  • Delete extraneous .js, .css and .gz files that aren't named _srcwith

    svn status | perl -ne 'chomp; unlink $_ if s/^\s*\?\s*(.*)(?!_src)(.*)(\.gz|\.js|\.css)$/$1$2$3/;'

• Unzip the tinymce_3_x_x_dev.zip file you downloaded from sourceforge in TinyMCEPlugin/pub/System/TinyMCEPlugin (should extract to a directory tinymce )
• As per Tasks.Item8531, remove compressed files:

  for i in $(find -name "*_src*" -not -regex '.*svn.*'); do compressed=${i/_src/}; svn del --force $compressed; svn del --force $compressed.gz ; done

• svn statusshould now show a list of modified files and any new directories or files that moxiecode has included (less the compressed versions).
  • svn add * --force to add them
• Re-build the MANIFEST

Updating with a new moxiecode release (git)

• In TinyMCEPlugin root directory in git, use git clean -fdx to clean the directory and all sub-directories of extraneous files
• Unzip the tinymce_3_x_x_dev.zip file you downloaded from sourceforge in TinyMCEPlugin/pub/System/TinyMCEPlugin (should extract to a directory tinymce)
• Remove compressed files:

  for i in $(find -name "*_src*" ); do compressed=${i/_src/}; rm -f $compressed; rm -f $compressed.gz ; done

• git status . in the TinyMCEPluginroot directory in git should now show a list of modified files and any new directories or files that moxiecode has included (less the compressed versions).
  • git add . to add them
• Re-build the MANIFEST

Re-build MANIFEST

Working from a fresh MANIFEST generated with something like ./build.pl manifest > MANIFEST from TinyMCEPlugin/lib/Foswiki/Plugins/TinyMCEPlugin/

What follows is a series of vim commands to get a freshly auto-generated MANIFEST into shape for release. We don't ship developer files because it makes the download quite large, and currently BuildContrib doesn't offer a way to generate the missing minified and .gz targets into the MANIFEST.

Don't ship boring files to end users:

%s/\(.*\/build.*\)/#\1
%s/\(.*\/tools\/.*\)/#\1
%s/\(.*\/classes\/.*\)/#\1
%s/\(.*\/docs\/.*\)/#\1
%s/\(.*\/tests\/.*\)/#\1
%s/^\(.*\.psd\s\d*$\)/#\1

Do .gz of non- _src files:

%s/^\([^#]\)\(.*_src.*\)\@!\(.*\)\.\(js\|css\)\(.*\)$/\1\2\3.\4\5\r\1\2\3.\4.gz\5

Do minified and .gz entries for _src files:

%s/^\([^#]\)\(.*\)\(_src\)\.\(js\|css\)\(.*\)$/\1\2\3.\4\5\r\1\2.\4\5\r\1\2.\4.gz\5

Review

• Place a !noci after all data/ files and probably after .../TinyMCEPlugin.pm
• Ensure an entry for TinyMCEPlugin.txt is present
• Delete extraneous comments generated by ./build.pl manifest at beginning/end of file
• Use svn diff to see how the MANIFEST has changed and make sure the changes are what you expected.

Building

• If you're doing a release upload, try to ensure your BuildContrib is using YUI compressor which yields 5-10% smaller files (see Tasks.Item8531 for the original comparison). One way of knowing that you're getting YUI compressed files is that the output will have obfuscated variable/method/object names, whereas CPAN's minfiers only strip whitespace and comments.

I removed the legacyoutput patch link, moxiecode pulled my github commit which fixed that issue in TinyMCE 3.4.x.

We still have a problem with the fullscreen plugin, though.
