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. Use git commit to record this. + +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 any changes made in step 3. + +5) Generate and publish the tar files by running + + make PREV= GPGKEY= 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.
