FMA Releases

Because FMA updates may be sporadic and of unknown frequency, releases will no longer be automated on a time-schedule. Henceforth this will be a manual process. The process is as follows:

1. log into synapse as root

2. cd /opt/fma/release

3. choose a version number (if you don't know the version number of the last relesase version, use "less .fma_version_last")

4. at the command prompt, enter: "./release.sh 5.0.0" (without quotes, change version number to match the one chosen in previous step).

If everything went to plan, you are basically done. To be sure, check the following:

* those who are part of root@synapse should bet an email entitled "FMA Release". This will include a log of the process you just ran.

* those who are subscribed to fma-announce should get a notification of a new release.

Note that the first email to root@synapse contains a reminder to update the FMA changes document, which is located at: http://www.si.washington.edu/content/fma-version-update-log
