|
|
|
|
For each step, check for possible errors.

|
|
|
|
1. cvs -q update -Pd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Bootstrap to make 100% sure all elc files are up-to-date, and to
|
|
|
|
|
|
make sure that the later tagged version will bootstrap, should it be
|
|
|
|
|
|
necessary to check it out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Set the version number (M-x load-file RET admin/admin.el RET, then
|
|
|
|
|
|
M-x set-version RET). For a release, add released change log
|
|
|
|
|
|
entries (M-x add-release-logs RET).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. rm configure; make bootstrap

|
|
|
|
5. Commit configure, README, lisp/loaddefs.el, lisp/cus-load.el,
|
|
|
|
|
|
lisp/finder-inf.el, lisp/version.el, man/emacs.texi. For a release,
|
|
|
|
|
|
also commit the ChangeLog files in all directories.

|
6. make-dist --snapshot. Check the contents of the new tar with
|
|
|
|
|
|
admin/diff-tar-files against an older tar file. Some old pretest
|
2003-01-20 16:15:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
tarballs are kept under fencepost.gnu.org:~pot/emacs-pretest/, while
|
|
|
|
|
|
old emacs tarballs are at <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/>.

7. xdelta delta emacs-OLD.tar.gz emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. tar -zxf emacs-NEW.tar.gz; cd emacs-NEW
|
|
|
|
|
|
configure && make && make -n install
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use `script' or M-x compile to save the compilation log in
|
|
|
|
|
|
compile-NEW.log and compare it against an old one. The easiest way
|
|
|
|
|
|
to do that is to visit the old log in Emacs, change the version
|
|
|
|
|
|
number of the old Emacs to __, do the same with the new log and do
|
|
|
|
|
|
M-x ediff. Especially check that Info files aren't built.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. cd EMACS_ROOT_DIR; cvs tag TAG
|
2003-01-20 16:15:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
TAG is EMACS_PRETEST_XX_YY_ZZZ for a pretest, EMACS_XX_YY for a
|
|
|
|
|
|
release.

10. admin/make-announcement OLD NEW
|
2003-01-20 16:15:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This creates an announcement for pretests. OLD is the version used
|
2003-03-19 13:02:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to make deltas with respect to NEW. Anouncements for pretests need
|
|
|
|
|
|
to be crafted by hand. Use an older announcement to start with.
|

|
|
|
|
|
2003-01-20 16:15:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
11. For a pretest, do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
rsync -aP emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta compile-NEW.log \
|
2003-02-06 11:58:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
emacs-NEW.announce alpha.gnu.org:/home/alpha/gnu/emacs/pretest/.
|
2003-03-19 13:02:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
For a release, do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
rsync -aP emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta \
|
|
|
|
|
|
alpha.gnu.org:/home/ftp/gnu/emacs/.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. Verify that the files are visible at
|
|
|
|
|
|
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/ for a pretest, at
|
|
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/ for a release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. For a pretest, let Richard Stallman know about the new pretest and
|
|
|
|
|
|
tell him to announce it using the announcement you prepared. Remind
|
|
|
|
|
|
him to set a Reply-to header to <emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a release, Richard should prepare the announcement himself,
|
|
|
|
|
|
possibly starting from a previous announcment.
