The process for releasing a new tarball is as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. make sure you have the latest build requirements installed:
|
||||
|
||||
git://git.freedesktop.org/git/util/macros
|
||||
git://git.freedesktop.org/git/util/modular
|
||||
|
||||
2. update your module version (usually found in configure.ac)
|
||||
|
||||
$ vi configure.ac # bump version
|
||||
$ git push origin # make sure you're on the release branch
|
||||
|
||||
3. verify your module builds
|
||||
|
||||
$ make distcheck
|
||||
|
||||
4. tag the release
|
||||
|
||||
$ git tag -m "Intel <ver> release" xf86-video-intel-<ver>
|
||||
|
||||
5. run the release script (this should push the tag)
|
||||
|
||||
$ <path_to>/util/modular/release.sh driver xf86-video-intel-<last_ver> xf86-video-intel-<ver>
|
||||
|
||||
6. edit the generated release message as needed and send it out
|
||||
|
||||
for major releases list added features and known limitations
|
||||
|
||||
for minor releases indicate which bugs were fixed and which
|
||||
are still present
|
||||
|
||||
7. throw a release party, you're done! :)
