This document describes step by step the release procedure of GNU
|
|
Midnight Commander.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Announce the intention to release the next version in both mailing lists
|
|
at least 3 days before the release date, unless it's a security release.
|
|
|
|
Make sure that all significant user-visible changes are in the NEWS
|
|
file. Group changes by topics to improve readability.
|
|
|
|
Review the English version of the manual and fix it if necessary.
|
|
|
|
Check dates in all manuals and update them if significant changes have
|
|
been done since the previous release.
|
|
|
|
Make sure that maint/mctest covers most features of the current code and
|
|
run it on a clean working directory.
|
|
|
|
Review files with stdout and stderr from every build. Make sure that
|
|
all warnings (if any) are caused by other software and cannot be avoided
|
|
without significant damage to the code.
|
|
|
|
Upload the resulting tarball and binary packages to login.ibiblio.org.
|
|
|
|
Change the homepage to mention the new version.
