Here are the steps to follow to create a new cairo release:
1) Ensure that there are no local, uncommitted modifications. The best
thing to do here may be to begin with a fresh checkout from CVS:
cvs -d cairographics.org:/cvs/cairo co cairo
But it's probably good enough if "cvs -q update -Ad" generates no
output.
2) Verify that the code passes "make distcheck"
Running "make distcheck" should result in no warnings or
errors and end with a message of the form:
==================================================
cairo-X.Y.Z-head archives ready for distribution:
cairo-X.Y.Z-head.tar.gz
==================================================
(But the tar file isn't actually ready yet, as we still have
some more steps to follow).
3) Fill out an entry in the NEWS file
Sift through the information in ChangeLog since the last
release. Summarize major changes briefly in a style similar
to other entries in NEWS. Take special care to note any
additions in the API. These should be easy to find
by looking for cairo*.h in the ChangeLog. Additionally, the
output of the following command should be examined using the
previous release tag:
find src/ -name '*.h' -not -name '*-private.h' -not -name 'cairoint.h' | \
xargs cvs diff -r RELEASE_X_Y_Z
4) Increment cairo_version_{minor|micro} and LT_{CURRENT|VERSION|AGE}
in configure.in:
If there are backward-incompatible changes in the API, stop
now and don't release. Go back and fix the API instead. Cairo
is intended to remain backwards-compatible as far as API.
So cairo_version_major will not be incremented unless we come
up with a new versioning scheme to take advantage of it.
If there are API additions, then increment
cairo_version_minor and reset cairo_version_micro to 0.
Otherwise, (ie. there are only bug fixes), increment
cairo_version_micro to the next larger (even) number.
Adjust LT_CURRENT, LT_VERSION, and LT_AGE as describe in the
comments in configure.in.
5) Commit the changes to NEWS and configure.in
Don't forget to fill out the ChangeLog just like with any
other commit. It's especially important to mention the new
version number in the ChangeLog.
6) Run "make release-publish" which will perform the following steps
for you:
* Check that the version number ends with an even micro component
* Check that no release exists with the current version
* Verify that make distcheck completes successfully
* Generate the final tar file
* Generate an sha1sum file
* Sign the sha1sum using your GPG setup (asks for your GPG password)
* scp the three files to appear on http://cairographics.org/releases
* Place local copies of the three files in the releases directory
* Create a LATEST-package-version file (after deleting any old one)
* Tag the entire source tree with a tag of the form RELEASE_X_Y_Z
* Provide some text for the release announcement (see below).
7) Increment cairo_version_micro to the next larger (odd) number in
configure, and commit.
8) Send a message to cairo-announce@cairographics.org and CC
gnome-announce-list@gnome.org to announce the
new release using the text provided from "make release-publish".
