Release a new version.

thoughtbot/dotfiles relies on the post-hook running to setup vundle. The bug preventing this is fixed but not released -- I'd like to release a new version before resorting to documenting the -k workaround in dotfiles' README.

Agreed.

Looks like NEWS.md.inneeds to be updated.

There's a release make target. It builds a deb, tags the branch, and uploads the docs. It requires a Debian system currently, since building a deb requires debuild.

Updating the Homebrew package is still a manual process: update this file: https://github.com/thoughtbot/homebrew-rcm/blob/master/Formula/rcm.rb . It relies on a file being uploaded somewhere; the plan for the future is to move that file into the gh-pages branch and automatically generate it as part of the release target.

I'm going to cc @georgebrock here because he's done some great stuff with https://github.com/thoughtbot/gitsh .

The gitsh release code is here: https://github.com/thoughtbot/gitsh/blob/master/Makefile.am#L17

It's similar to the rcm make release, except it doesn't support debian (yet) and it does automate more of the steps, including the Homebrew forumla update.

(And gitsh doesn't have HTML docs.)

I opened #26 to discuss fixing the release process.

1.2.0 is released, but it seems that gh-pages hasn't finished building yet. I cannot try the Debian instructions until they do.

OS X installs fine.

Have not actually tried 1.2.0, from package, on any system yet.

[mike-burns]

Debian installs fine and works. @pbrisbin does rcm Arch install fine and work?

[pbrisbin]

I confirmed it does, but I wouldn't worry about testing Arch w.r.t. releases. The Arch PKGBUILD installs directly from git sources.

1.2.0 is out, blogged about, tweeted about, and has had two bugs reported about. Done and done.
