Release TODO
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* after a release, we move in cvs mode and use a .1 nano version number
|
|
|
|
* close to the next release, we make prereleases by upping the nano version
|
|
|
|
* update release notes
|
|
|
|
* add release notes to cvs
|
|
|
|
* update web site release notes
|
|
|
|
* make distcheck should pass
|
|
|
|
* test suite should pass
|
|
|
|
* autotools have latest config.{guess,sub}
|
|
This is needed in order to support newer platforms.
|
|
On Debian install the autotools-dev package to get these.
|
|
|
|
* depending on how the API has changed update the libtool versioning
|
|
in configure.ac. Look at the libtool info page about versioning for
|
|
guidelines.
|
|
|
|
* update package version
|
|
|
|
* tag tree
|
|
http://gstreamer.net/dev/cvs.php
|
|
add tag to above page
|
|
|
|
|
|
* update web site news items for release
|
|
|
|
* upload to sourceforge
|
|
|
|
* announce to:
|
|
freshmeat
|
|
gstreamer-{devel, announce}
|
|
linux-audio-dev (?)
|
|
gnome lists (?)
|
|
lwn (if it's a big release)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Should work:
|
|
|

Package version policy
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Use major.minor.micro versioning
|
|
|
|
Before 1.0.0
|
|
|
|
Update micro until code and API are fairly stable, then update minor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
After 1.0.0
|
|
|
|
Update major when code and api hit new level of stability or major features.
|
|
Update minor on API changes.
|
|
Update micro on API-compatible changes.
