| 3 | Notes on releasing. You will need appropriate autoconf, automake and libtool | 
|---|
| 4 | utilities to release a package. | 
|---|
| 5 |  |

| 6 | 1. Commit any unsaved changes. | 
|---|
| 7 |  | 
|---|
| 8 | 2. "make clean" | 
|---|
| 9 |  | 
|---|
| 10 | 3. Create html/vX.X.html.  Take ChangeLog entries and html-ify in there. | 
|---|
| 11 | Easist thing to do is take html/vX.(X-1).html and use it as a template. | 
|---|
| 12 | Add that file to the list of EXTRA_DIST files in the html/Makefile.am. | 
|---|
| 13 |  | 
|---|
| 14 | 3.5. Update html/index.html to refer to this new page as the current release. | 
|---|
| 15 |  | 
|---|
| 16 | 4. Increment version in configure.ac.  Put 'alpha' or 'beta' after | 
|---|
| 17 | the version, if applicable. | 
|---|
| 18 |  | 
|---|
| 19 | eg. | 
|---|
| 20 | 3.5.7 | 
|---|
| 21 | or | 
|---|
| 22 | 3.5.8beta | 
|---|
| 23 |  | 
|---|
| 24 | Version should be updated in two places: in the second argument of the | 
|---|
| 25 | AC_INIT macro and in LIBTIFF_xxx_VERSION variables. | 
|---|
| 26 |  | 
|---|
| 27 | 5. autoconf | 
|---|
| 28 |  | 
|---|
| 29 | 6. sh configure | 
|---|
| 30 |  | 
|---|
| 31 | 7. make release -- this will update "RELEASE-DATE" and "VERSION" in the top | 
|---|
| 32 | level dir, and libtiff/tiffvers.h. | 
|---|
| 33 |  | 
|---|
| 34 | 8. Please verify that the version info in RELEASE-DATE, VERSION and | 
|---|
| 35 | libtiff/tiffvers.h is right. | 
|---|
| 36 |  | 
|---|
| 37 | 9. make; make distcheck (to test). | 
|---|
| 38 |  | 
|---|

|---|

|---|
| 44 |  | 
|---|
| 45 | 13. configure; make dist | 
|---|
| 46 | Two files with names tiff-version.tar.gz and tiff-version.zip will | 
|---|

|---|
| 48 |  | 
|---|
| 49 | 14. Copy to ftp.remotesensing.org ftp site. | 
|---|
| 50 | scp tiff-*.tar.gz ftp.remotesensing.org:/var/ftp/libtiff/ | 
|---|
| 51 | scp tiff-*.zip ftp.remotesensing.org:/var/ftp/libtiff/ | 
|---|
| 52 |  |

| 53 | 15. Announce to list, tiff@lists.maptools.org | 
|---|
| 54 |  |
