I pretty much re-wrote the page: http://wiki.apache.org/cordova/CuttingReleases
My goal was to capture every step that's involved, and also document the order. One intentional tweak I made to the process is to have tagging come after branching & testing. Since we now have per-release branches, I think it's just busy-work to have to tag & re-tag while we're in the initial testing phase. One thing that's missing is running that tool that checks for missing copyright headers. It's missing because I can't recall what it's called. Anyone remember? :P Another thing that's missing is any platform-specific steps for platforms other than Android / iOS. Going forward, I'd like to have a lot of the code snippets that are in the page as scripts. E.g. have a tool alongside coho for doing branching, VERSION and cordova.js snapshot updating. Also - does it make sense to move the script that creates JIRA issues to cordova-coho (instead of it being in labs)? What does coho stand for anyways? Finally - I'd like to get rid of separate sub-tasks for updating the sample app and updating the JS snapshot. There are more custom steps than this when creating a release, and it would be a tonne of busy-work to create an issue for each an every one. Instead, I'd like to just have a "tag FOO" issue where we update the progress of the repo's taggin via comments. Andrew
