Releasing the code

Once you developed a while you might no longer be happy that all you have created is called 'nightly' or 'prerelease' or 'unstable'.

If you are convinced the current status should be published as 'stable' or 'release', follow the Oolite Release Process.

Hints

The code is organized across several git repositories. The main one refers to the others as submodules - but always to a concise commit.

If you need to update submodules you also need to tell people to update the reference in the main repository. Here you can see that handling submodules can lead to strange effects: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21470

To learn mode about submodules read the fine manual at https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules
