If Xwayland is not in /usr/bin, distcheck will fail without patch023b265b, which propagates @XSERVER_PATH@ to distcheck but blocks other use of the DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS env var. Instead, revert the fix and merely document the need for setting DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS manually. Revert "build: Pass along any user-specified xserver path to distcheck" This reverts commit023b265b44.

To make a release of Weston and/or Wayland, follow these steps.
|
|
|
|
0. Verify the test suites and codebase checks pass. All of the
|
|
tests pass should either pass or skip.
|
|
|
|
$ make check
|
|
|
|
1. Update the first three lines of configure.ac to the intended
|
|
version, commit. Also note that Weston includes versioned
|
|
dependencies on 'wayland-server' and 'wayland-client' in
|
|
configure.ac which typically need updated as well. Then commit
|
|
your changes:
|
|
|
|
$ git status
|
|
$ git commit configure.ac -m "configure.ac: bump to version x.y.z for the xxx release"
|
|
$ git push
|
|
|
|
2. Install Xwayland, either from your distro or manually (see
|
|
http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html). If you install it
|
|
to a location other than /usr/bin/Xwayland, specify this in the
|
|
following env var:
|
|
|
|
export DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS="--with-xserver-path=<your-Xwayland-path>"
|
|
|
|
3. Run the release.sh script to generate the tarballs, sign and
|
|
upload them, and generate a release announcement template.
|
|
This script can be obtained from X.org's modular package:
|
|
|
|
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/modular/tree/release.sh
|
|
|
|
The script supports a --dry-run option to test it without actually
|
|
doing a release. If the script fails on the distcheck step due to
|
|
a testsuite error that can't be fixed for some reason, you can
|
|
skip testsuite by specifying the --dist argument. Pass --help to
|
|
see other supported options.
|
|
|
|
4. Compose the release announcements. The script will generate
|
|
*.x.y.0.announce files with a list of changes and tags, one for
|
|
wayland, one for weston. Prepend these with a human-readable
|
|
listing of the most notable changes. For x.y.0 releases, indicate
|
|
the schedule for the x.y+1.0 release.
|
|
|
|
5. Send the release announcements to
|
|
wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
|
|
|
|
6. Get your freshly posted release email URL from
|
|
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/
|
|
|
|
7. Update releases.html in wayland-web with links to tarballs and
|
|
the release email URL.
|
|
|
|
$ git commit releases.html -m "Add x.y.z release"
|
|
$ git push
|
|
$ rsync -avz * wayland.freedesktop.org:/srv/wayland.freedesktop.org/www/
|
|
|
|
8. Update topic in #wayland to point to the release announcement URL
|
|
|
|
|
|
For x.y.0 releases, also create the x.y branch. The x.y branch is for
|
|
bug fixes and conservative 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).
|
|
|
|
$ git branch x.y
|
|
$ git push origin x.y
|
|
|
|
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.
