Rebuild the Changelog. Rebuild the Changelog. I use a tool called cvs2cl. Run this command from the package root to automatically generate a Changelog file in the same dir. We generate two changelogs, one for the minor branch and one for the most recent release. The example below is for OpenACS 5.0.2:

.LRN: this must be repeated for .LRN modules (dotlrn-core in the dotlrn cvs tree) and for any modified modules in the .LRN prerequisites (dotlrn-prereq in openacs cvs tree). My current working model is that I bulk-update .LRN and OpenACS core but that I don't touch dotlrn-prereq modules - I just use the most recent release and it's up to individual package developers to tag and release those packages when they change. This model is already broken because following it means that dotlrn-prereqs don't get new translations.
Update /var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME/packages/acs-core-docs/www/xml/variables.ent with the new version number.

Apply the final tag across the tree. First, check out the entire OpenACS tree, getting the most recent stable version of each package. This is most simply done on openacs.org:
