#Natural Earth Update Procedure

Scripts to build Natural Earth ZIP archives for individual themes, scalesets, and packagages.

Requirements: Make a generic Unix utility, to be installed.

Assumed to be run on Mac or Ubuntu Linux.

#Usage

  1. Increment the VERSION number, per the semantic versioning guidelines at ../README.md:

     pico VERSION

  2. Update the CHANGELOG with the new edits.

     pico CHANGELOG

    Note: You'll likely want to edit the CHANGELOG in a real text editor. Those changes should also be recorded, with better formatting, in a public blog post.

  3. Formalize the new version in Git by setting a tag:

     git tag  -m 'See CHANGELOG for details.' -a v`cat VERSION`

  4. Package those changes for distribution by running one of the make targets:

     make all

    Other common, more specific targets include:

     make zips/10m_cultural/10m_cultural.zip
 make zips/10m_physical/10m_physical.zip
 make zips/50m_cultural/50m_cultural.zip
 make zips/50m_physical/50m_physical.zip
 make zips/110m_cultural/110m_cultural.zip
 make zips/110m_physical/110m_physical.zip
 make zips/packages/natural_earth_vector.zip
 make zips/packages/Natural_Earth_quick_start/Natural_Earth_quick_start.zip
 make clean

  5. Push those changes live to the distribution network!

     make live

  6. Updated Drainholes on the distribution server:

  7. Write the blog post announcing the changes (parallels the CHANGELOG above).

  8. Send email to update list announcing the changes and directing them to the blog post.
