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