THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
...
- Create a temporary directory for the release candidate. (Windows users may want to use a high level directory (e.g., C:/src) to avoid errors caused by long path names.)
- Open the VOTE email, and click the release candidate link. This will open a web page with four additional links: .zip (the release candidate),.asc (the signature file), .md5 (the md5 hash file), and .sha1 (the sha1 hash file). (See sections 1a and 1b below for information about signature and hash files.)
- Download the files to your computer by clicking on each of the four links and saving the files to your computer. (You may need to use Ctrl-S to save a text file from the browser to text. Make sure the browser does not append ".txt" to the file.)
...
- Search for the git commit corresponding to the email by browsing for it on GitHub. Use a URL that follows this pattern: https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-language/treecommit/<hash>, where <hash> is the commit hash you want to download.
- Click "Download Zip" and save the file to your computer.
- Make a new directory, change to the new directory
- Unzip the GitHub file to the new folder. (e.g., mkdir 1 ; cd 1 ; unzip <filename>.zip)
- Move up a directory level (cd .. )
- Make a second new directory (e.g., mkdir 2)
- Change to the second new directory (e.g., cd 2)
- Unzip the release candidate (e.g., unzip release-candidate.zip)
- Move up one directory level. (When you do a directory listing you should see both new directories listed.)
- Compare all files in the two new directories using the diff command:
- Linix: diff -uR 1 2
- Windows, GitBash: diff -r 1 2 (Windows CMD command line try FC)
