How to do a GTK+ release?
|
|
|
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have Owen's special autoconf and libtool RPMs, available at:

http://people.redhat.com/otaylor/gtk/autotools/.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also make sure you have the following packages installed (I used the RPM
|
|
|
|
|
package names from RedHat 8.0):
|
|
|
|
|
* gtk-doc
|
|
|
|
|
* linuxdoc-tools
|
|
|
|
|
* docbook-utils
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Without those packages make distcheck will *not* pass.

0) Blow away your gtk+ directory, check a new version out
|

|
|
|
1) autogen and build it, make sure to enable docs.
|
|
|
|
|
2) Update NEWS based on ChangeLog
|
|
|
|
|
3) Update version in configure.in, increase MICRO, interface and binary

|
|
|
age by 1. (Note that this is critical, a slip-up here will cause the soname
|
|
|
|
|
to change).
|

|
|
|
4) Add === Released 2.0.x === at the top of the ChangeLog
|
|
|
|
|
5) make mydistcheck
|
|
|
|
|
6) Fix broken stuff found by 4) repeat
|
|
|
|
|
7) cvs commit; you'll have a bunch of po file changes, and maybe some
|
|
|
|
|
doc changes too (NOTE: be sure to use cvs with compression, else you'll
|
|
|
|
|
end up waiting for a long time :).
|
|
|
|
|
8) If 7) fails because someone else committed inbetween, curse, cvs up
|
|
|
|
|
fix conflicts and go to 5)
|
|
|
|
|
9) type 'cvs tag GTK_2_0_9' in the toplevel directory
|
|
|
|
|
10) You now have the tarball, and the CVS tag, now upload the tarball to
|
2002-11-18 23:34:02 +00:00
|
|
|
gnome.org and gtk.org
|
2002-11-20 21:55:05 +00:00
|
|
|
11) Go to the gnome-announce list archives, find the last announce message,
|
2002-11-18 23:34:02 +00:00
|
|
|
create a new message in the same form, replacing version numbers, commentary
|
|
|
|
|
at the top about "what this release is about" and the Summary of changes.
|
2002-11-20 21:55:05 +00:00
|
|
|
12) Send it to gnome-announce-list, gtk-list, gtk-app-devel-list and
|
|
|
|
|
gtk-devel-list. Set reply-to to gnome-hackers.
