How to prepare a new release ---------------------------- . include/freetype/freetype.h: Update FREETYPE_MAJOR, FREETYPE_MINOR, and FREETYPE_PATCH. . Update version numbers in all files where necessary (for example, do a grep for both `2.3.1' and `231' for release 2.3.1). . builds/unix/configure.raw: Update `version_info'. . docs/CHANGES: Document differences to last release. . README: Update. . docs/VERSION.DLL: Document changed `version_info'. . ChangeLog: Announce new release (both in freetype2 and ft2demos modules). . Tag the CVS (freetype2, ft2demos). TODO: Tag the home page CVS on savannah.nongnu.org. . Say `make dist' in both the freetype2 and ft2demos modules to generate the .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, and .zip files. . Create the doc bundles (freetype-doc-<version>.tar.gz, freetype-doc-<version>.tar.bz2, ftdoc<version>.zip). This is everything below freetype.freedesktop.org:/srv/freetype.freedesktop.org/www/freetype2/docs/ except the `reference' subdirectory. Do *not* use option `-l' from zip! Run the following script (with updated `$VERSION' and `$SAVANNAH_USER' variables) to sign and upload the bundles to both Savannah and SourceForge. The signing code has been taken from the `gnupload' script (part of the automake bundle). #!/bin/sh VERSION=2.3.1 SAVANNAH_USER=wl ##################################################################### GPG='/usr/bin/gpg --batch --no-tty' version=`echo $VERSION | sed "s/\\.//g"` UNIX_PACKAGES="freetype ft2demos freetype-doc" WINDOWS_PACKAGES="ft ftdmo ftdoc" UNIX_ZIP="tar.gz tar.bz2" WINDOWS_ZIP="zip" PACKAGE_LIST= for i in $UNIX_PACKAGES; do for j in $UNIX_ZIP; do PACKAGE_LIST="$PACKAGE_LIST $i-$VERSION.$j" done done for i in $WINDOWS_PACKAGES; do for j in $WINDOWS_ZIP; do PACKAGE_LIST="$PACKAGE_LIST $i$version.$j" done done set -e unset passphrase PATH=/empty echo -n "Enter GPG passphrase: " stty -echo read -r passphrase stty echo echo for f in $PACKAGE_LIST; do if test ! -f $f; then echo "$0: Cannot find \`$f'" 1>&2 exit 1 else : fi done for f in $PACKAGE_LIST; do echo "Signing $f..." rm -f $f.sig echo $passphrase | $GPG --passphrase-fd 0 -ba -o $f.sig $f done SIGNATURE_LIST= for i in $PACKAGE_LIST; do SIGNATURE_LIST="$SIGNATURE_LIST $i.sig" done scp $PACKAGE_LIST $SIGNATURE_LIST \ [email protected]:/releases/freetype/ for f in $PACKAGE_LIST $SIGNATURE_LIST; do ncftpput upload.sf.net /incoming $f done # EOF . While files on savannah.gnu.org are automatically moved to the right directory, it must be done manually on SourceForge. Do that now. . Update the FreeType release notes on SourceForge. . Copy the reference files (generated by `make dist') to freetype.freedesktop.org:/srv/freetype.freedesktop.org/www/freetype2/docs/reference and shell.sf.net:/home/groups/f/fr/freetype/htdocs/freetype2/docs/reference TODO: Create FreeType home page CVS on savannah.nongnu.org and update it accordingly. Write script to automatically do this. Mirror FreeType's savannah home page everywhere. . Update freetype.freedesktop.org:/srv/freetype.freedesktop.org/www/index2.html and copy it to shell.sf.net:/home/groups/f/fr/freetype/htdocs/index2.html . Announce new release on [email protected] and to relevant newsgroups. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg.
