[Jakob Kummerow]

*Bump*. We still need to do this.

In case you don't have my original mail handy, I leave it attached below:

> markey correctly observed that we need to test the automatic script

>
> First step:
> Nightrose or jefferai, please create a dummy update. The procedure is
> explained in detail in release_scripts/RELEASE_SCRIPT_HOWTO. Just make
> a copy of one of the default scripts, increase its version number
> (and, if you like, put a comment into one of its files marking it as
> an "updated" version), and package it.
> Further, I would suggest to create a second update with an *invalid*
> signature, just to see it fail. (Just change the archive and/or the
> "version" file and/or the signature after creating it, or use the
> other update's signature, or a signature file filled with some
> garbage, or... be creative. Funniest solution wins.)
>
> Second step:
> Someone please put that dummy update(s) onto the server. After that's
> done, please send a mail to this list, so that all of us know that the
> updating system has gone live.
>
> Third step:
> All of us: Restart your Amaroks and watch it update its script/s :-)
> The updated scripts should be placed into
> ~/.kde(4)/share/apps/amarok/scripts/, and should be used without
> requiring an additional restart (their version can be checked via the
> Script Manager). Please report any malfunction.
>
> Any problems? Further questions? Send me a mail, or ask me on IRC,
> I'll try to be there every evening (European time).
