Check, that every new or changed feature since last release is reflected in + README and/or man pages. +2. Bump soname of libcgroup shared objects if needed - LIBRARY_VERSION_MAJOR, + _MINOR and _RELEASE in configure.in. +3. Prepare release candidate (X.YY-rcZ - X.YY = version, Z - prerelease +umber): + a. Update AC_INIT(X.YY.rcZ) in configure.in. + b. Run 'autoreconf -i' to generate the configure file again, with the + new release number. + c. Run './configure' to generate Makefile and dist/libcgroup.spec with + correct version numbers. + d. Run 'make dist' to create tarball. Fix Makefile.am files if + something goes wrong. + The tarball should contain everything needed for compilation with + simple sh, make and (optionally) rpmbuild, among others: + libcgroup-X.YY.rcZ/configure + libcgroup-X.YY.rcZ/dist/libcgroup.spec + e. Try to build rpms ('rpmbuild -ta libcgroup-X.YY.rcZ.tar.gz'), fix + errors in dist/libcgroup.spec.in file if something goes wrong. + f. Tag the pre-release in git. + g. Publish the pre-release libcgroup-X.YY.rcZ.tar.gz and announce it on + the libgroup-devel list. + h. Test the pre-release and go to a) if new one is needed. + During this period, ABI of newly introduced shared symbols is *not* + stable and may change, if there is very good reason to break it. + +5. Finally release official version using the same procedure as in step 3., + only without the .rcZ version number suffix. +6. Update topic on #libcgroup IRC channel. |
