This document provides a step-by-step list to remind Orca
maintainers how to make a release.
The general instructions for a release are here:
http://wiki.gnome.org/MaintainersCorner/Releasing
http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/for_maintainers.html
Here's a summary for Orca:
PREPARE SOURCES FOR THE RELEASE:
-------------------------------
Make sure you are up to date:
git pull
git status
Modify these lines in ./configure.ac:
m4_define([orca_major_version], [2])
m4_define([orca_minor_version], [29])
m4_define([orca_micro_version], [92])
Modify ./README to make sure it has the right Orca version.
Update ./NEWS based upon entries in ./ChangeLog, or based upon git output
from a git command like the following (the tag string followed by ".." gives
you changes made since that tag was created):
git log --pretty=format:"%ai %an <%ae>%n%n %s%n" --name-status ORCA_2_29_91..
NOTE about giving credit to translators:
You should get the translator name from the "Last Translator" field in
the .po file, not from po/Changelog. Sometimes the translator is not the
same person as who commits the file.
NOTE: You should also make sure the external dependencies listed in
configure.ac and README are accurate.
BUILD THE RELEASE:
-----------------
./autogen.sh --prefix=`pwd`/bld && make && make install && make distcheck
For sanity, you should run pylint (http://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca/Pylint).
TEST THE CANDIDATE:
------------------
cd /tmp
gunzip -c orca-2.29.92.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd orca-2.29.92
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/bld
make all install
./bld/bin/orca
COMMIT RELEASE CHANGES AND TAG THE RELEASE:
-------------------------------------------
git commit -a
git push
git tag -a ORCA_2_29_92
git push origin ORCA_2_29_92
UPLOAD THE RELEASE:
------------------
scp orca-2.29.92.tar.gz wwalker@master.gnome.org:
ssh master.gnome.org
ftpadmin install orca-2.29.92.tar.gz
IDENTIFY TRUNK AS "PRE":
------------------------
Modify these lines in ./configure.ac:
ORCA_MAJOR_VERSION=2
ORCA_MINOR_VERSION=30
ORCA_MICRO_VERSION=0pre
Modify ./README to make sure it has the right "pre" version.
git commit -a
git push
