  6. [RC1] Update version and library numbers in meson.build
  7. [RC1] Rename .github/pull_request_template.md.disabled to .github/pull_request_template.md to display the warning about soft-freeze for new features
  8. [FINAL] Rename .github/pull_request_template.md to .github/pull_request_template.md.disabled to hide the warning about soft-freeze for new features
  9. Check dbus docs with ninja -C build update-dbus-docs
  10. Tag the release: version=vXXX-rcY && git tag -s "${version}" -m "systemd ${version}"

  15. "Draft" a new release on github (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/new), mark "This is a pre-release" if appropriate.
  16. Check that announcement to systemd-devel, with a copy&paste from NEWS, was sent. This should happen automatically.
  17. Update IRC topic (/msg chanserv TOPIC #systemd Version NNN released)
  18. [FINAL] Push commits to stable, create an empty -stable branch: git push systemd-stable --atomic origin/main:main origin/main:refs/heads/${version}-stable, and change the default branch to latest release (https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable/settings/branches).
