curl release procedure - how to do a release
============================================
[in the source code repo]
- edit RELEASE-NOTES to be accurate
- update docs/THANKS
- make sure all relevant changes are committed on the master branch
- tag the git repo in this style: 'git tag -a curl-7_34_0'. -a annotates the
tag and we use underscores instead of dots in the version number.
- run "./maketgz 7.34.0" to build the release tarballs. It is important that
you run this on a machine with the correct set of autotools etc installed
as this is what then will be shipped and used by most users on *nix like
systems.
- push the git commits and the new tag
- gpg sign the 4 tarballs as maketgz suggests
- upload the 8 resulting files to the primary download directory
[data in the curl-www repo]
- edit Makefile (version number and date),
_newslog.html (announce the new release) and
_changes.html (insert changes+bugfixes from RELEASE-NOTES)
- commit all local changes
- tag the repo with the same tag as used for the source repo
- make sure all relevant changes are committed and pushed on the master branch
(the web site then updates its contents automatically)
[inform]
- send an email to curl-users, curl-announce and curl-library. Insert the
RELEASE-NOTES into the mail.
[celebrate]
- suitable beverage intake is encouraged for the festivities
