  <li>Click "export" next to each language that is finished.  Extract the folder to <tt>addons/sourcemod/translations/</tt>.  For example, if you extract Spanish, you should have <tt>addons/sourcemod/translations/es/</tt> complete with ML files.</li>

  <ol>
 
  <li>Extract both the tar.gz and zip files to separate folders.</li>
 
  <li>Download the last major release from the same branch as this release.</li>
 
  <li>Copy the <tt>addons/sourcemod/configs/languages.cfg</tt> file from the old release over the new one.</li>

  <li>Download the latest GeoLite Country binary file from http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite</li>
 
  <li>Extract the GeoIP.dat and replace the existing copy in addons/sourcemod/configs/geoip</li>
 
  <li>Repackage the folders using the correct compression types (.tar.gz for Linux, .zip for Windows).</li>
 
  </ol>
 
<li>The build is done!</li>
 
</ol>
 
 
 
=Releasing to Mirrors=
 
<ol>
 
<li>Log into web01 as yourself.  Upload your final builds to your home directory.</li>
 
<li>Run:
 
<pre>
 
/scripts/amjump mirror
 
cd /scripts/mirror
 
</pre>
 
</li>
 
<li>Copy your final builds from your home directory into the mirror folder.  Rename them to release names, for example: <tt>sourcemod-1.1.2-windows.zip</tt> or <tt>mmsource-1.8.0-linux-tar.gz</tt>.</li>
 
<li>Mirror distribution is done with the following command:
 
<pre>
 
./mirror.pl <projectID> <releaseName> <file>
 
</pre>
 
Metamod:Source's ID is 4, SourceMod's ID is 2.  For example, these commands mirrored the Metamod:Source 1.8.7 release:
 
<pre>
 
./mirror.pl 4 1.8.7 mmsource-1.8.7-linux.zip
 
./mirror.pl 4 1.8.7 mmsource-1.8.7-windows.tar.gz
 
./mirror.pl 4 1.8.7 mmsource-1.8.7-mac.tar.gz
 
</pre>
 
These commands mirrored the SourceMod 1.4.0 release:
 
<pre>
 
./mirror.pl 2 1.4.0 sourcemod-1.4.0-linux.tar.gz
 
./mirror.pl 2 1.4.0 sourcemod-1.4.0-windows.zip
 
./mirror.pl 2 1.4.0 sourcemod-1.4.0-mac.zip
 
</pre>
 
</li>
 
<li>Type <tt>exit</tt> to get back to your user account. You're done!</li>
 
</ol>
 
 
 
=Cleaning up the Tree=
 
It's time to make sure the tree is set for future development.
 
 
 
<ol>
 
<li>Run <tt>hg tag</tt> on the last revision of the release. Usually this is the changeset that bumped versions, and usually this is <tt>tip</tt>.  For example, Metamod:Source:
 
<pre>hg tag mmsource-1.7.2</pre>
 
SourceMod:
 
<pre>hg tag sourcemod-1.1.2</pre>
 
</li>
 
<li>Bump the minor version in <tt>product.version</tt>. Don't forget to add -dev.</li>
 
<li>Change the <tt>tools/buildbot/build_type</tt> (SourceMod) or <tt>support/buildbot/build_type</tt> (Metamod:Source) contents back to "dev".</li>
 
<li>Commit and push.</li>
 
</ol>
 
 
 
=Updating the SourceMod Site=
 
<ol>
 
<li>Visit a [http://wiki.alliedmods.net/SourceMod_Release_Notes Release Notes] page.  Copy the contents, make a new one for your specific release.  Update the changelog, relnote anything big and important.  Link back to it from the "main" relnotes page.</li>
 
<li>Jump to the sourcemod account by logging into web01 as yourself:
 
<pre>
 
/scripts/amjump sourcemod
 
cd /groups/sourcemod
 
</pre>
 
</li>
 
<li>Edit the <tt>public_html/downloads.php</tt> file with your favorite text editor.  Edit all instances of the old version with the new one.  Make sure to get every link, including relnotes.</li>
 
<li>Update ~/compiler-1.x to the latest minor version, where x is the major version number.</li>
 
<li>Run <tt>~/scripts/purge_old_builds.pl</tt>, then edit its entry for 1.x.y, where x = this major release, and y = the new minor version.</li>
 
<li>Exit out of the sourcemod account.</li>
 
<li>Post news.  If you deviate from normal style, don't forget links for downloads, upgrading, and relnotes.  It also helps to say "this is backwards compatible" because users will always ask.</li>
 
</ol>
 
 
 
=Updating the Metamod:Source Site=
 
<ol>
 
<li>Jump to the alliedmodders account by logging into web01 as yourself:
 
<pre>
 
/scripts/amjump alliedmodders
 
cd /groups/alliedmodders/hub/amhub
 
</pre>
 
</li>
 
<li>Edit the <tt>mmsource.py</tt> file with your favorite text editor. Update the <tt>latest</tt> version number in the <tt>downloads</tt> function.  If this is a new major release (1.X.0), update the <tt>stable</tt> and <tt>devel</tt> version numbers in the <tt>downloads</tt> and <tt>snapshots</tt> functions.</li>
 
<li>Edit the <tt>templates/mmsource/navbar.html</tt> file and replace all instances of the old version with the new one.
 
<li>Run the following command:
 
<pre>
 
touch ../run/apache.wsgi
 
</pre>
 
</li>
 
<li>Post news.  Do this by making a post in [https://forums.alliedmods.net/forumdisplay.php?f=124 this forum], which is private.  LOOK AT OLDER POSTS - you need to write valid XHTML!</li>
 
<li>Exit out of the alliedmodders account.</li>
 
</ol>
 
 
 
=Updating Translations=
 
This section applies to SourceMod major releases. In order to update the translator tool, shell in as the "sourcemod" user. Find the /scripts/translation folder in the sourcemod group homedir. Run the following steps:
 
* cd sourcemod
 
* git pull
 
* cd ..
 
* ./sync_lang_files.pl sourcemod/translations
 
 
 
Any languages with a non-green status will not be exported, so a few weeks before a release it is a good idea to post news asking for translators.
