Building TODO

• Old versions table on gh-pages
• Release notes #499
• See @phihag on #589
• One-step Windows building
• make build which builds the whole shebang(incl. Windows) and creates build/$VERSION/{youtube-dl,youtube-dl.exe,youtube-dl-src-$VERSION.tar.gz}
• Make devscripts/release.sh do some smoke tests on all of the above files (with strings) to make sure all bear the right version number
• Make devscripts/release.sh use the current version instead of specifying a new one.
• Make devscripts/release.sh upload the newest files to $SFTP_URL, with he same directory structure as in build/
• Make devscripts/release.sh write into the gh-pages branch and:
  • Update the current hashsums
  • Update all links to $URL_BASE/$VERSION/{youtube-dl,youtube-dl.exe,youtube-dl-src-$VERSION.tar.gz}
  • Create a file in gh-pages: update/$VERSION and write $URL_BASE/$VERSION/youtube-dl in there
  • Create/update a file in gh-pages: update/LATEST and write $URL_BASE/$VERSION/youtube-dl in there
  • Commit and push that
• Ensure that devscripts/release.sh updates LATEST_VERSION
• Move devscripts/release.sh into Makefile, so that make release works, and implies build
• Update youtube-dl(.exe) to:
  1. Fetch LATEST_VERSION
  2. If that is newer, fetch gh-pages:update/$VERSION
  3. And download that URL
• Update the placeholder versions in master and downloads to always fetch the URL in gh-pages:/update/LATEST
• LATEST_VERSION on gh-pages, small to fetch; update-index.json on gh-pages; uscan compatible layout on the server.

From IRC

21:23 FiloSottile: I think now priorities should be:
21:23 FiloSottile: - making our tests pass on python3
21:23 FiloSottile: - expanding tests to all IEs
21:23 FiloSottile: - unittesting also features, not only plain downloads

• Document the tarballs on gh-pages, maybe with an "old versions archive" table, maybe automated
