1 | HOWTO-RELEASE: |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | Notes on releasing. You will need appropriate autoconf, automake and libtool | |
| 4 | utilities to release a package. | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | 1. Commit any unsaved changes. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | 2. "make clean" | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | 3. Create html/vX.X.html. Take ChangeLog entries and html-ify in there. | |
| 11 | Easist thing to do is take html/vX.(X-1).html and use it as a template. | |
| 12 | Add that file to the list of EXTRA_DIST files in the html/Makefile.am. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | 3.5. Update html/index.html to refer to this new page as the current release. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | 4. Increment version in configure.ac. Put 'alpha' or 'beta' after | |
| 17 | the version, if applicable. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | eg. | |
| 20 | 3.5.7 | |
| 21 | or | |
| 22 | 3.5.8beta | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | Version should be updated in two places: in the second argument of the | |
| 25 | AC_INIT macro and in LIBTIFF_xxx_VERSION variables. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | 5. autoconf | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | 6. sh configure | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | 7. make release -- this will update "RELEASE-DATE" and "VERSION" in the top | |
| 32 | level dir, and libtiff/tiffvers.h. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | 8. Please verify that the version info in RELEASE-DATE, VERSION and | |
| 35 | libtiff/tiffvers.h is right. | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | 9. make; make distcheck (to test). | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | 10. make distclean | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | 11. cvs commit | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | 12. cvs tag Release-v3-5-7 (or the appropriate name for the release) | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | 13. configure; make dist | |
| 46 | Two files with names tiff-version.tar.gz and tiff-version.zip will | |
| 47 | be created in the top level package directory. | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | 14. Copy to ftp.remotesensing.org ftp site. | |
| 50 | scp tiff-*.tar.gz ftp.remotesensing.org:/var/ftp/libtiff/ | |
| 51 | scp tiff-*.zip ftp.remotesensing.org:/var/ftp/libtiff/ | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | 15. Announce to list, tiff@lists.maptools.org | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | 16. Update libtiff page on freshmeat with new version announcement. | |
