| 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 | |
