-
-1) Ensure that there are no uncommitted changes or unpushed commits,
- and that you are up to date with the latest commits in the central
- repository. Here are a couple of useful commands:
-
- git diff (no output)
-
- git status (should report "nothing to commit")
-
- git log master...origin (no output; note: *3* dots)
-
-2) Increment pixman_(major|minor|micro) in configure.ac according to
- the directions in that file.
-
-3) Make sure that new version works, including
-
- - make distcheck passes
-
- - the X server still works with the new pixman version
- installed
-
- - the cairo test suite hasn't gained any new failures compared
- to last pixman version.
-
-4) Use "git commit" to record the changes made in step 2 and 3.
-
-5) Generate and publish the tar files by running
-
- make PREV=<last version> GPGKEY=<your gpg key id> release-publish
-
- If your freedesktop user name is different from your local one,
- then also set the variable USER to your freedesktop user name.
-
-6) Run
-
- make release-publish-message
-
- to generate a draft release announcement. Edit it as appropriate and
- send it to
-
- cairo-announce@cairographics.org
-
- pixman@lists.freedesktop.org
-
- xorg-announce@lists.freedesktop.org
-
-7) Increment pixman_micro to the next larger (odd) number in
- configure.ac. Commit this change, and push all commits created
- during this process using
-
- git push
- git push --tags
-
- You must use "--tags" here; otherwise the new tag will not
- be pushed out.
