curl release procedure - how to do a release
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
in the source code repo
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- run `./scripts/copyright.pl` and correct possible omissions
|
|
|
|
- edit `RELEASE-NOTES` to be accurate
|
|
|
|
- update `docs/THANKS`
|
|
|
|
- make sure all relevant changes are committed on the master branch
|
|
|
|
- tag the git repo in this style: `git tag -a curl-7_34_0`. -a annotates the
|
|
tag and we use underscores instead of dots in the version number. Make sure
|
|
the tag is GPG signed (using -s).
|
|
|
|
- run "./maketgz 7.34.0" to build the release tarballs. It is important that
|
|
you run this on a machine with the correct set of autotools etc installed
|
|
as this is what then will be shipped and used by most users on \*nix like
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
- push the git commits and the new tag
|
|
|
|
- gpg sign the 4 tarballs as maketgz suggests
|
|
|
|
- upload the 8 resulting files to the primary download directory
|
|
|
|
in the curl-www repo
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
- edit `Makefile` (version number and date),
|
|
|
|
- edit `_newslog.html` (announce the new release) and
|
|
|
|
- edit `_changes.html` (insert changes+bugfixes from RELEASE-NOTES)
|
|
|
|
- commit all local changes
|
|
|
|
- tag the repo with the same name as used for the source repo.
|
|
|
|
- make sure all relevant changes are committed and pushed on the master branch
|
|
|
|
(the website then updates its contents automatically)
|
|
|
|
on GitHub
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
- edit the newly made release tag so that it is listed as the latest release
|
|
|
|
inform
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
- send an email to curl-users, curl-announce and curl-library. Insert the
|
|
RELEASE-NOTES into the mail.
|
|
|
|
celebrate
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
- suitable beverage intake is encouraged for the festivities

curl release scheduling
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Release Cycle
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
We do releases every 8 weeks on Wednesdays. If critical problems arise, we can
|
|
insert releases outside of the schedule or we can move the release date - but
|
|
this is rare.
|
|
|
|
Each 8 week release cycle is split in two 4-week periods.
|
|
|
|
- During the first 4 weeks after a release, we allow new features and changes
|
|
to curl and libcurl. If we accept any such changes, we bump the minor number
|
|
used for the next release.
|
|
|
|
- During the second 4-week period we do not merge any features or changes, we
|
|
then only focus on fixing bugs and polishing things to make a solid coming
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
- After a regular procedure-following release (made on Wednesdays), the
|
|
feature window remains closed until the following Monday in case of special
|
|
actions or patch releases etc.
|
|
|
|
If a future release date happens to end up on a "bad date", like in the middle
|
|
of common public holidays or when the lead release manager is away traveling,
|
|
the release date can be moved forwards or backwards a full week. This is then
|
|
advertised well in advance.
|
|
|
|
