HOWTO-RELEASE: +

−
Notes on releasing. You will need appropriate autoconf, automake and libtool+
−
utilities to release a package.+
−
+
−
1. Commit any unsaved changes. +
−
+
−
2. "make clean"+
−
+
−
3. Create html/vX.X.html.  Take ChangeLog entries and html-ify in there. +
−
   Easist thing to do is take html/vX.(X-1).html and use it as a template.+
−
   Add that file to the list of EXTRA_DIST files in the html/Makefile.am.+
−
+
−
3.5. Update html/index.html to refer to this new page as the current release.+
−
+
−
4. Increment version in configure.ac.  Put 'alpha' or 'beta' after+
−
   the version, if applicable. +
−
+
−
   eg.+
−
   3.5.7+
−
    or+
−
   3.5.8beta+
−
+
−
   Version should be updated in two places: in the second argument of the+
−
   AC_INIT macro and in LIBTIFF_xxx_VERSION variables.+
−
+
−
5. autoconf+
−
+
−
6. sh configure+
−
+
−
7. make release -- this will update "RELEASE-DATE" and "VERSION" in the top+
−
   level dir, and libtiff/tiffvers.h.  +
−
+
−
8. Please verify that the version info in RELEASE-DATE, VERSION and+
−
   libtiff/tiffvers.h is right.+

+
−
10. make distclean+

11. cvs commit+
−
+
−
12. cvs tag Release-v3-5-7 (or the appropriate name for the release)+
−
+
−
13. configure; make dist+
−
    Two files with names tiff-version.tar.gz and tiff-version.zip will+
−
    be created in the top level package directory.+
−
+
−
14. Copy to ftp.remotesensing.org ftp site. +
−
    scp tiff-*.tar.gz ftp.remotesensing.org:/var/ftp/libtiff/+
