1 curl release procedure - how to do a release
2 ============================================
3
4 in the source code repo
5 -----------------------
6
7 - edit `RELEASE-NOTES` to be accurate
8
9 - update `docs/THANKS`
10
11 - make sure all relevant changes are committed on the master branch
12
13 - tag the git repo in this style: `git tag -a curl-7_34_0`. -a annotates the
14 tag and we use underscores instead of dots in the version number. Make sure
15 the tag is GPG signed (using -s).
16
17 - run "./maketgz 7.34.0" to build the release tarballs. It is important that
18 you run this on a machine with the correct set of autotools etc installed
19 as this is what then will be shipped and used by most users on \*nix like
20 systems.
21
22 - push the git commits and the new tag
23
24 - gpg sign the 4 tarballs as maketgz suggests
25
26 - upload the 8 resulting files to the primary download directory
27
28 in the curl-www repo
29 --------------------
30
31 - edit `Makefile` (version number and date),
32
33 - edit `_newslog.html` (announce the new release) and
34
35 - edit `_changes.html` (insert changes+bugfixes from RELEASE-NOTES)
36
37 - commit all local changes
38
39 - tag the repo with the same name as used for the source repo.
40
41 - make sure all relevant changes are committed and pushed on the master branch
42
43 (the web site then updates its contents automatically)
44
45 on github
46 ---------
47
48 - edit the newly made release tag so that it is listed as the latest release
49
50 inform
51 ------
52
53 - send an email to curl-users, curl-announce and curl-library. Insert the
54 RELEASE-NOTES into the mail.
55
56 celebrate
57 ---------
58
59 - suitable beverage intake is encouraged for the festivities
60
61 curl release scheduling
62 =======================
63
64 Basics
65 ------
66
67 We do releases every 8 weeks on Wednesdays. If critical problems arise, we can
68 insert releases outside of the schedule or we can move the release date - but
69 this is very rare.
70
71 Each 8 week release cycle is split in two 4-week periods.
72
73 - During the first 4 weeks after a release, we allow new features and changes
74 to curl and libcurl. If we accept any such changes, we bump the minor number
75 used for the next release.
76
77 - During the second 4-week period we do not merge any features or changes, we
78 then only focus on fixing bugs and polishing things to make a solid coming
79 release.
