RELEASING
=========
When making a new release;
- Verify your working directory is clean:
$ git reset --hard <release_branch>
$ git clean -xdf
- Run:
$ ./autogen.sh --enable-gtk-doc
$ make all
- Run:
$ make distcheck
and fix eventual issues. Commit the fixes.
- Update NEWS (New feature details, bug #'s), README (Any API changes
relevant to developers + version), AUTHORS if relevant.
- Clean everything again with:
$ git clean -xdf
- Verify versioning in configure.ac, increasing relevant
clutter_major_version/clutter_minor_version/clutter_micro_version
value. For point releases, bump clutter_micro_version to the next
even number.
- If there was no API change (addition, deprecation), increment
clutter_interface_age by two. If there was an API change,
set clutter_interface_age to zero. The interface_age is used to
keep the soname the same across releases.
- Build everything again, and run distcheck to create the tarball.
- Tag the release:
$ git tag -s <version>
- Bump clutter_micro_version to the next odd number version and commit.
- Push the branch and then the tag, e.g.:
$ git push origin master
$ git push origin 1.2.4
- Upload the tarball to clutter-project.org.
- Announce release to the waiting world on the blog and mailing lists
- Release any dependant add-ons following similar rules to above.
