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.
