Here are most of the steps we (maintainers) follow when making a release.
* Start from a clean, up-to-date git directory on "master":
make -k maintainer-clean || { ./configure && make maintainer-clean; }
git checkout master
git pull origin master
* Ensure that the latest stable versions of autoconf, automake, etc.
are in your PATH. See the buildreq list in bootstrap.conf for
the complete list of tools.
* Ensure that you have no uncommitted diffs. This should produce no
output:
git diff
* Ensure that you've pushed all changes that belong in the release:
git push origin master
* Check that the NixOS/Hydra autobuilder is reporting all is well:
http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/gzip-master
* Run the following command to download any new translations:
./bootstrap && ./configure
* Pre-release testing: ensure that the following command succeeds:
make check syntax-check distcheck
* To (i) set the date, version number, and release TYPE on line 3 of
NEWS, (ii) commit that, and (iii) tag the release, run
# "TYPE" must be stable, beta or alpha
make release-commit RELEASE='X.Y TYPE'
* Run the following to create release tarballs. Your choice selects the
corresponding upload-to destination in the emitted gnupload command.
The different destinations are specified in cfg.mk. See the definitions
of gnu_ftp_host-{alpha,beta,stable}.
make release RELEASE='X.Y TYPE'
* Test the tarball. Copy it to a few odd-ball systems and ensure that
it builds and passes all tests.
* While that's happening, write the release announcement that you will
soon post. Start with the template, $HOME/announce-gzip-X.Y
that was just created by that "make" command.
Once all the builds and tests have passed,
* Run the gnupload command that was suggested by your "make release"
run above, or run
make upload RELEASE='X.Y TYPE'
* Wait a few minutes (maybe up to 30?) and then use the release URLs to
download all tarball/signature pairs and use gpg --verify to ensure
that they're all valid.
* Push the NEWS-updating changes and the new tag:
v=$(cat .prev-version)
git push origin master tag v$v
* Announce it on Savannah first, so you can include the savannah.org
announcement link in the email message.
Go to the news-submission form:
https://savannah.gnu.org/news/submit.php?group=gzip
If it does not work, then enable "News" for the project via this link:
https://savannah.gnu.org/project/admin/editgroupfeatures.php?group=gzip
Write something like the following:
Subject: gzip-X.Y released [stable]
+verbatim+
...paste the announcement here...
-verbatim-
Then go here to approve it:
https://savannah.gnu.org/news/approve.php?group=gzip
* Send the announcement email message.
* After each non-alpha release, run
make web-manual-update
to update the on-line manual accessible at
http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/manual/
