How to make a new release of GNU Stow
=====================================
- Ensure NEWS contains the latest changes.
- Ensure configure.ac contains the new version number.
- Check CPAN distribution will work via Module::Build:
- Run perl Build.PL.
- Run ./Build test
- Run ./Build install
- Run ./Build distcheck
- Run ./Build distmeta and check META.* have the new version number.
- Ensure all changes are committed to git.
- Run make distcheck and ensure that everything looks good.
It should generate the distribution files for you.
- Tag the current git HEAD with the new version number:
git tag v7.8.9
- Upload to ftp.gnu.org. This is easiest using gnupload:
- git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git
- Copy gnulib/build-aux/gnupload to somewhere on your $PATH
