The URI will be: https://developer.gimp.org/core/maintainer/release/ (once we
merge the testing website to the main)
The new procedure also contains a wrapper step where we paste the checklist,
markdown-formatted, into a Gitlab report for better progress follow-up and also
onboarding testers into the release procedure.
As I review and tweak various aspects of GIMP UI, I also write down
specifications for these subparts. Here is one for the locks behaviors.
We worked on these specifications with Aryeom and tried to make the most
useful and also somehow obvious logics for these locks, in particular
the cases when applied to layer groups which can have wider ranges of
meaning (on leaf items, it is much simpler). The various previous
commits are implemented based on these specifications.
- ps-menurc removed in GIMP 2.7.2 (i.e. stable 2.8.0) according to
NEWS.pre-2-8.
- in our main README, redirect now to devel-docs/README.md as entry
point for contributors.
- move HACKING to devel-docs/ and specialize it into a "how to build
from git and contributed" docs:
* Make it markdown.
* Remove some now obsolete or redundant recommendations (to be fair,
we can probably clean up the file a bit more, but we'll see).
* Add/improve relevant information.
* Make more obvious when you want to build from tarball or git.
* Just keep a single short paragraph about the coding style to
redirect people to the appropriate CODING_STYLE.md file.
* Don't recommend sending patches to the mailing list anymore.
- move CODING_STYLE.md to devel-docs/.
Add some more text and links to existing documents.
I also remove 3 files which are now either outdated or whose contents is
also written (with more or less similar text) in other more up-to-date
files.
Add more links to other files after I reviewed they were still relevant.
The `gitlab-milestones.txt` in particular had to be updated because the
contents was outdated (though we still need to manage milestones, simply
now we are a bit more fine-grained).
Loosely based on the old structure.xml, except it was widely outdated.
So I removed or updated what was obsolete and added missing folders.
Obviously getting rid of the old `structure.xml` (now we have easier doc
generation through Gitlab).
Finally, I fix the table of contents and replaced the title with some
metadata-style stuff which Gitlab docs suggest (otherwise the document
title ends up in the table of contents, which is a bit silly).
This will be the root page for the developer documentation. Note that
there are other files in this directory (old `README` included) which
will need to be deleted but I don't do it just yet on purpose until I
checked them and integrate anything which could be of interest back into
the new documentation.
