oik-zip.php packages the source files for a WordPress plugin into a .zip file ready for release to the general public.

The packaging process ensures up to date versions are released

• update the root plugin file
• update the plugin's readme.txt
• checks that banner and icon files are in the assets
• build a new version of the README.md file for GitHub
• update language files, if applicable
• reconcile shared library files
• update the "oik-activation" logic

What it does not do:

• Create minimised versions of .css and .js files
• run Unit Tests
• perform translation
• update the API reference

1. Upload the contents of the oik-zip plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/oik-zip' directory
2. Create a batch file called zip.bat to invoke the oik-zip routine, through oik-wp.php from oik-batch

php c:\apache\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\oik-batch\oik-wp.php c:\apache\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\oik-zip\oik-zip.php %*

• 7-ZIP
• an editor
• t2m - convert a readme.txt file to README.md ( https://github.com/bobbingwide/txt2md )
• oik-batch ( https://github.com/bobbingwide/oik-batch )

No. But it may be enabled for use with Composer

Now that I need most of WordPress to do all the things I'm working towards using WP-CLI primarily to handle command line parameters.

It will be, when I've made more progress with the oik-git shared library.

No. Updating the SVN version is currently a manual process performed after creating the .zip and updating GitHub.

1. oik-zip in action

Corrected readme files.

Attempts to ensure assets are present. Tested with WordPress 4.6-RC2

Tested with WordPress 4.5-RC1

Finally put under version control. First version of the plugin, available from GitHub and oik-plugins.

• Changed: Corrected descriptions, which had been swapped between oik-tip and oik-zip

• Added: Logic to copy assets files - used for GitHub
• Changed: Assets files are not included in the .zip file
• Changed: Optionally performs language processing, therefore now needs to be run under oik-wp

• Fixed: Copies oik-activation.php from oik/libs rather than oik/admin [github bobbingwide oik-zip issues 2]
• Tested: With WordPress 4.5-RC1

• Added: First version on GitHub
