Release checklist

For the process of building and releasing binaries of a C++ Vamp plugin.

Code hygiene

Versioning and tagging

  • Check that copyright dates are correct and up-to-date
  • If this is a new release of a previously-released plugin, remember to increment the plugin's getPluginVersion() value
  • Tag the repository when you have confirmed that the plugin builds successfully on all target platforms

Categories and RDF

  • Make sure you have a sensible category file (.cat)
  • Generate an RDF template using the vamp-rdf-template-generator program found in rdf/generator in the Vamp plugin SDK, and edit it to contain correct metadata

Packaging

  • Make sure each package contains at least the following files:
    • The plugin library!
    • README describing the plugin and how to install and use it, identifying the authors, with a link to a site about it
    • COPYING containing the licence for the plugin
    • CITATION containing BibTeX of any paper to cite when using the plugin in academic work
  • Create the source package using hg archive or equivalent to archive directly from your tagged version
