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
|
|
|
|
- Push HEAD and tag to savannah
|
|
|
|
git push
|
|
git push --tags
|
|
|
|
- Regenerate the documentation for the website:
|
|
|
|
# First check out texinfo CVS repository via:
|
|
# cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/texinfo co texinfo
|
|
|
|
# and stow-web CVS repository via the instructions here:
|
|
# https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=stow
|
|
|
|
# Set paths:
|
|
stow_repo=/path/to/stow/git/repo
|
|
stow_web_repo=/path/to/stow-web/CVS/working/dir
|
|
texinfo_repo=/path/to/texinfo/git/repo
|
|
|
|
cd $stow_repo
|
|
export GENDOCS_TEMPLATE_DIR=$texinfo_repo/util
|
|
$texinfo_repo/util/gendocs.sh \
|
|
-s doc/stow.texi \
|
|
-o $stow_web_repo/manual \
|
|
--email bug-stow@gnu.org \
|
|
stow "GNU Stow manual"
|
|
|
|
cd $stow_web_repo
|
|
# Check that the changes look OK
|
|
cvs diff
|
|
# Then commit
|
|
cvs commit
|
