| 3 | This file attempts to describe the maintainer-specific notes to follow |
| 4 | when hacking liblouis. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | * Release Procedure |
| 7 | These steps describe what a maintainer does to make a release; they |
| 8 | are not needed for ordinary patch submission. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ** Set the version number |
| 11 | Update the version number in NEWS (with version, date, and release |
| 12 | type), ChangeLog and configure.ac. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ** Commit and tag |
| 15 | Commit the changes and tag this version |
| 16 | |
| 17 | svn cp https://liblouis.googlecode.com/svn/trunk \ |
| 18 | https://liblouis.googlecode.com/svn/tags/liblouis_1_3_8 |
| 19 | |
| 20 | If you know the exact version number that needs to be tagged use |
| 21 | |
| 22 | svn cp https://liblouis.googlecode.com/svn/trunk \ |
| 23 | https://liblouis.googlecode.com/svn/tags/liblouis_1_3_8 -r 109 |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ** Make the release |
| 26 | Check out a clean copy in a different directory, like /tmp. Run |
| 27 | autogen.sh and configure with no special prefixes. Run make distcheck. |
| 28 | This will make sure that all needed files are present, and do a |
| 29 | general sanity check. Run make dist. This will produce a tarball. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | ./autogen.sh && configure && make && make distcheck && make dist |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ** Upload |
| 34 | Upload tarball to Google project page, tag as "featured". This will |
| 35 | put the link on the main project page. Remove "featured" tag from |
| 36 | previous tarball release. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | ** Announce |
| 39 | Send an announcement to the liblouis list |
| 40 | liblouis-liblouisxml@freelists.org. See ANNOUNCEMENT for an example. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | ** Other web updates |
| 43 | Update the Google project page. Add the current NEWS to the front |
| 44 | page. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Also update the page on freshmeat (http://freshmeat.net/projects/liblouis/). |
