Steps to a Successful Release |
Steps to a Successful Release
- Add all items to NEWS
- Update the contributors list in NEWS (
ninja -C build git-contrib
) - Update the time and place in NEWS
- Update version and library numbers in
meson.build
- Tag the release:
version=vXXX-rcY && git tag -s "${version}" -m "systemd ${version}"
- Do
ninja -C build
- Make sure that the version string and package string match:
build/systemctl --version
- Upload the documentation:
ninja -C build doc-sync
- [After final release] Close the github milestone and open a new one (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/milestones)
- "Draft" a new release on github (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/new), mark "This is a pre-release" if appropriate.
- Check that announcement to systemd-devel, with a copy&paste from NEWS, was sent. This should happen automatically.
- Update IRC topic (
/msg chanserv TOPIC #systemd Version NNN released
) - [After final release] Also push commits to stable, create an empty -stable branch:
git push systemd-stable origin/master:master origin/master:refs/heads/${version}-stable
, and change the default branch to latest release (https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable/settings/branches).
