In order to ensure that Galago releases generally turn out properly, a number of things must be done before a release.
Prior To Release
- Two weeks prior to a release, if translatable strings have been at all changed, an e-mail to galago-i18n should go out, informing translators that they need to update and submit new .po files.
During Release
- All configure.ac files must have their versions bumped.
- Dependency versions in configure.ac files must be updated to reflect the new upcoming released versions.
- The NEWS files must be updated for the new version, along with any information and a release date.
- make distcheck must be performed.
- Sourcecode tarballs must be uploaded to http://www.galago-project.org/files/releases/source/.
- The releases file on the web server must be updated.
Post Release
- galago-announce must be e-mailed.
- Freshmeat.net should be updated.
