To make a release follow these steps.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Update configure.ac to intended version, commit.
|
||||
|
||||
2. make distcheck (for weston I do make distcheck TESTS= to avoid
|
||||
running the tests... most of the tests pass, but the xwayland one
|
||||
is flaky)
|
||||
|
||||
3. git tag -am 1.5.0 1.5.0
|
||||
|
||||
4. scp tarballs to /srv/wayland.freedesktop.org/www/releases on
|
||||
people.freedesktop.org
|
||||
|
||||
5. Put SHA1 for tarballs and tagged commits in release announcement
|
||||
|
||||
6. Push configure.ac commits and tags.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Send out release announcement.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Get the release email URL from
|
||||
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/
|
||||
|
||||
9. Update releases.html in wayland-web with links to tarballs and
|
||||
release email.
|
||||
|
||||
10. Update topic in #wayland to point to release announcement
|
||||
|
||||
For x.y.0 releases, also create the x.y branch. The x.y branch is for
|
||||
bug fixes and conservetive changes to the x.y.0 release, and is where
|
||||
we release x.y.z releases from. Creating the x.y branch opens up
|
||||
master for new development and lets new development move on. We've
|
||||
done this both after the x.y.0 release (to focus development on bug
|
||||
fixing for the x.y.1 release for a little longer) or before the x.y.0
|
||||
release (like we did with the 1.5.0 release, to unblock master
|
||||
development early).
|
||||
|
||||
The master branch configure.ac version should always be (at least)
|
||||
x.y.90, with x.y being the most recent stable branch. Stable branch
|
||||
configure version is just whatever was most recently released from
|
||||
that branch.
|
||||
|
||||
For stable branches, we commit fixes to master first, then cherry-pick
|
||||
them back to the stable branch.
