How to do a GIMP release
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
a check-list for doing a GIMP release
|
|
|
|
|
|
( ) Check that you have working ssh access to download.gimp.org and
|
|
that you are a member of the gimpadmins group.
|
|
|
|
( ) Check that download.gimp.org has enough space to upload the
|
|
release and to place it into the FTP area. If not, make place or
|
|
have somebody do that.
|
|
|
|
( ) Check that you have admin access to the GIMP product on
|
|
bugzilla.gimp.org and to the news section on www.gimp.org, or that
|
|
someone can do the changes for you.
|
|
|
|
( ) Check if NEWS, authors.xml (and the generated AUTHORS), README or
|
|
INSTALL need to be updated, as well as any release notes on
|
|
gimp.org. Don't forget to add any "Index of new symbols in GIMP
|
|
2.x" to the gtk-doc generated devel-docs.
|
|
|
|
( ) Does the splash screen need to be changed?
|
|
|
|
( ) Bump the version number to an even micro in configure.ac and
|
|
commit this change. It should be the version number of the
|
|
release you are about to make. Releases always have even micro
|
|
numbers. Don't forget to also bump the interface age for stable
|
|
releases. For devel releases, read libtool-instructions.txt.
|
|
|
|
( ) Make dist tarballs:
|
|
|
|
[ ] Start with a checkout of the GIMP tree. Make sure the checkout
|
|
is up to date, clean from uncommitted changes.
|
|
|
|
[ ] Run 'git clean -x -d -f' (Warning: you will lose any files that
|
|
are not added).
|
|
|
|
[ ] Run 'git diff'. This should not generate any output, or your
|
|
tree has local modifications.
|
|
|
|
[ ] Run ./autogen.sh --enable-gtk-doc
|
|
|
|
[ ] Run 'make' to do a complete build of the source tree.
|
|
|
|
[ ] Run 'make distcheck'. Avoid passing make -j since that can
|
|
cause mysterious fails.
|
|
|
|
[ ] If changes to generated files are made by the above command
|
|
(run 'git diff' to find out), commit+push them and repeat from
|
|
the beginning of this sub-section.
|
|
|
|
[ ] If there are problems reported by 'make distcheck', fix
|
|
them. If you made changes in the tree to get 'make distcheck'
|
|
running, commit+push them and repeat from the beginning of this
|
|
sub-section.
|
|
|
|
[ ] If 'make distcheck' passed and created tarballs, go to the next
|
|
item.
|
|
|
|
[ ] A successful run of the 'make distcheck' would create the final
|
|
dist tarballs. It will include a ChangeLog generated from the 'git
|
|
log'. Note that we don't bother with any release commit, that's
|
|
what tags are for (see below).
|
|
|
|
( ) Use md5sum to create a checksum of the tarball (tar.bz2).
|
|
|
|
( ) Upload the tarball (tar.bz2) and the .md5 file to your home directory
|
|
on download.gimp.org. Keep a copy of the .md5 file around.
|
|
|
|
( ) Tag the release (don't forget to push the tag)
|
|
git tag -s GIMP_2_x_y
|
|
git push origin GIMP_2_x_y
|
|
|
|
( ) Copy the tarball and the .md5 file to its final destination in
|
|
the FTP area (/srv/ftp/pub/gimp/v2.x). Really use cp not mv
|
|
because a moved file from the home directory will need extra
|
|
selinux magic to make it readable by the web server.
|
|
|
|
( ) Update the 0.0_LATEST-IS- file in the directory on the FTP server.
|
|
|
|
( ) Change permissions of the new files to make them writable by the
|
|
'gimpadmins' group. This will allow other members of this group
|
|
to correct mistakes and to update the 0.0_LATEST-IS- file next
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
( ) Add the new version to the GIMP product on bugzilla.gimp.org.
|
|
|
|
( ) Check out or update the 'gimp-web' module and change
|
|
downloads/index.htrw. Commit this change, the web server should
|
|
then update itself soon (usually less than an hour).
|
|
|
|
( ) Bump the version number (past the tagged version) in configure.ac
|
|
to the next odd micro and commit this change. GIT version always
|
|
have odd micro numbers. Don't forget to also bump the interface
|
|
age for stable releases. For devel releases, read
|
|
libtool-instructions.txt.
|
|
|
|
( ) Grab a properly chilled beverage and enjoy yourself.
|
|
|
|
( ) Give the mirrors a reasonably long time to update, then announce
|
|
the release on gimp.org and on the gimp-user and gimp-developer
|
|
mailing lists.
