The recommended command to check for differences from master to the remote master was using git log with a range from the local master to the remote master but this wouldn't work if the local master is ahead of the remote master because the range is backwards. This patch changes it to recommend git diff --stat instead because then the command would work even if the two branches have diverged.

RELEASING
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
When making a new release;
|
|
|
|
- Verify that you don't have uncommitted and unpublished
|
|
changes, i.e. both this:
|
|
|
|
$ git status
|
|
|
|
and this:
|
|
|
|
$ git diff --stat master origin/master
|
|
|
|
should be empty. Commit and push before the next step.
|
|
|
|
- Clean your work directory:
|
|
|
|
$ git clean -xdf
|
|
|
|
This ensures that you don't have stale files lying around.
|
|
|
|
- Run:
|
|
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh --enable-gtk-doc --enable-docs
|
|
$ make all
|
|
$ make check
|
|
|
|
And verify that the code builds from a clean Git snapshot.
|
|
|
|
- Update the release documentation:
|
|
|
|
- NEWS: new feature details, bugs fixed, acknowledgements
|
|
- README: dependencies, any behavioural changes relevant to
|
|
developers;
|
|
|
|
then commit the changes.
|
|
|
|
- Bump clutter_micro_version to the next even number; if this is a stable
|
|
release, bump up clutter_interface_version by one as well. Then commit
|
|
the changes.
|
|
|
|
- Run:
|
|
|
|
$ make release-publish
|
|
|
|
which will:
|
|
|
|
- do sanity checks on the build
|
|
- distcheck the release
|
|
- tag the repository with the version number
|
|
- upload the tarball to the remote server (needs SSH account)
|
|
|
|
- Bump clutter_micro_version to the next odd number; if this is a stable
|
|
release, bump up clutter_interface_version by one as well. Then commit
|
|
the changes.
|
|
|
|
- Push the branch and then the tag, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
$ git push origin master
|
|
$ git push origin 1.2.4
|
|
|
|
- Announce release to the waiting world on the blog and mailing lists. Use
|
|
the template printed by `make release-publish`.
