To produce a new Release candidate

Add

#Pharo1.1rc1

in the update.list of the current beta version

Then add in the following changeset

SystemVersion newVersion: 'Pharo1.1rc1'.

To prepare a new version

Create a new folder on the server

ssh ducasse@scm.gforge.inria.fr
cd /home/groups/pharo/htdocs/updates/
mkdir pharo1.2

Add scripts upFile12

#!/bin/bash
scp "$1" ducasse@scm.gforge.inria.fr:/home/groups/pharo/htdocs/updates/pharo1.2/

#!/bin/bash
scp -p ducasse@scm.gforge.inria.fr:/home/groups/pharo/htdocs/updates/pharo1.2/updates.list .

Prepare script loader

ScriptLoader class>>toPharoOneDotTwo
	self currentMajorVersionNumber: 1.2

Here is an example of the script to ask to branch

ScriptLoader>>updatexxx
	"self new updatexxx"
	self withUpdateLog: 'Switch to 1.2'.
	(self confirm: 'Do you wish to advance to Pharo 1.2 Unstable?
[Yes] Your system will be marked as Pharo1.2a (Unstable), and you will subsequently receive development updates for 1.2 (unstable stream).
[No] Your system will remain at Pharo 1.1.')
	ifTrue: [SystemVersion newVersion: 'Pharo1.2a'.
			ScriptLoader toPharoOneDotTwo.
			SystemVersion current date: '11 June 2010'.
			self inform: 'You may now save this image and retrieve updates again for Pharo1.1-alpha and beyond.']
	ifFalse: [SystemVersion newVersion: 'Pharo1.1rc1'.].
	self flushCaches.
