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 the freetype2 and freetype2-demos modules). . Clone the git archive to another directory with git clone -l -s . ../freetype2.test or something like this and run make distclean; make devel; make make distclean; make devel; make multi make distclean; make devel CC=g++; make CC=g++ make distclean; make devel CC=g++; make multi CC=g++ sh autogen.sh make distclean; ./configure; make make distclean; ./configure CC=g++; make in the cloned repository to test compilation with both gcc and g++. . Test C++ compilation for freetype2-demos too (using `git clone' as above). . Run src/tools/chktrcmp.py and check that there are no undefined trace_XXXX macros. . After pushing the new release, tag the git repositories (freetype2, freetype2-demos) with git tag VER-<version> -m "" -u <committer> and push the tags with git push --tags . Check with git clean -ndx that the git directory is really clean (and remove extraneous files if necessary). . Say `make dist' in both the freetype2 and freetype2-demos 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 in <freetype-web git repository>/freetype2/docs except the `reference' subdirectory. Do *not* use option `-l' from zip! . Run the following script (with updated `$VERSION', `$SAVANNAH_USER', and $SOURCEFORGE_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=2.5.1 SAVANNAH_USER=wl SOURCEFORGE_USER=wlemb ##################################################################### GPG='/usr/bin/gpg --batch --no-tty' version=`echo $VERSION | sed "s/\\.//g"` FREETYPE_PACKAGES="freetype-$VERSION.tar.gz \ freetype-$VERSION.tar.bz2 \ ft$version.zip" FT2DEMOS_PACKAGES="ft2demos-$VERSION.tar.gz \ ft2demos-$VERSION.tar.bz2 \ ftdmo$version.zip" FTDOC_PACKAGES="freetype-doc-$VERSION.tar.gz \ freetype-doc-$VERSION.tar.bz2 \ ftdoc$version.zip" PACKAGE_LIST="$FREETYPE_PACKAGES \ $FT2DEMOS_PACKAGES \ $FTDOC_PACKAGES" 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 FREETYPE_SIGNATURES= for i in $FREETYPE_PACKAGES; do FREETYPE_SIGNATURES="$FREETYPE_SIGNATURES $i.sig" done FT2DEMOS_SIGNATURES= for i in $FT2DEMOS_PACKAGES; do FT2DEMOS_SIGNATURES="$FT2DEMOS_SIGNATURES $i.sig" done FTDOC_SIGNATURES= for i in $FTDOC_PACKAGES; do FTDOC_SIGNATURES="$FTDOC_SIGNATURES $i.sig" done SIGNATURE_LIST="$FREETYPE_SIGNATURES \ $FT2DEMOS_SIGNATURES \ $FTDOC_SIGNATURES" scp $PACKAGE_LIST $SIGNATURE_LIST \ [email protected]:/releases/freetype/ rsync -avP -e ssh $FREETYPE_PACKAGES $FREETYPE_SIGNATURES \ $SOURCEFORGE_USER,[email protected]:/home/frs/project/f/fr/freetype/freetype2/$VERSION/ rsync -avP -e ssh $FT2DEMOS_PACKAGES $FT2DEMOS_SIGNATURES \ $SOURCEFORGE_USER,[email protected]:/home/frs/project/f/fr/freetype/freetype-demos/$VERSION/ rsync -avP -e ssh $FTDOC_PACKAGES $FTDOC_SIGNATURES \ $SOURCEFORGE_USER,[email protected]:/home/frs/project/f/fr/freetype/freetype-docs/$VERSION/ # EOF .

On SourceForge, tag the just uploaded `ftXXX.zip' and `freetype-XXX.tar.bz2' files as the default files to download for `Windows' and `Others', respectively. . Copy the reference files (generated by `make dist') to <freetype-web git repository>/freetype2/docs/reference . Update the `freetype-web' repository. `git push' then automatically triggers an update of the public web pages within ten minutes, due to a cron script (on [email protected]) that rsyncs with freedesktop.org://srv/freetype.freedesktop.org/www . Announce new release on [email protected] and to relevant newsgroups. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2003-2015 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg.
