[Qgis-community-team] Re: Plugin icons

[Tara Athan]

OK, lets see if I have this

Procedure to update icons
*This should be done once per release, as soon as the GUI freeze is in 
place.
1. Use svn or an svn client to update local copy of QGIS source code and 
user guide Makefile
2. Modify Makefile as follows
   a. change QGISPLUGINSSOURCE to the correct path for the local copy
   b. add commands to the target "updateicons" for any new plugins
   c. verify the paths for existing plugins, modify if necessary
3. If any new plugins have been added, create a folder 
"plugins_name_images" containing a Makefile, and also a file 
"plugins_name.tex"
4. execute "make updateicons" from the command line
5. modify all Makefiles to be consistent with the new image names
5. insert %FIXME comments for all latex errors resulting from missing 
images (This will happen for all screenshots and for missing icon images)
5. commit these changes
6. send an email to qgis-community-team with the following instructions
    a. execute "make clean"
    b. svn update your local copy
    c. please update your sections wherever %FIXME appears

Does that look correct?

My e-mail delivery has been unreliable lately, so I am asking for
return receipts from all my email messages.
OK'ing the return receipt lets me know that my message was delivered.
Thank you.
