=== Signing binaries === | |||
Put tarballs into directory <tt>archives/</tt>, run: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> | |||
bin/generate_appcast archives/ | |||
bin/old_dsa_scripts/sign_update archives/scummvm-2.1.1-win32.exe dsa_priv.pem | |||
bin/old_dsa_scripts/sign_update archives/scummvm-2.1.1-macosx.dmg dsa_priv.pem | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
The first line will generate file <tt>archives/release.xml</tt>. The following ones will just spit out DSA signatures. | |||
Copy/paste signatures to <tt>dists/macosx/scummvm_appcast.xml</tt> in the main git repo. | |||
Then run: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> | |||
make publish-appcast | |||
cd ../scummvm-web | |||
git commit -m 'WEB: Sync appcast' -a | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
