How to do a SPICE server release
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Some notes to prepare a release, not really strict but better to have in order
|
|
to avoid forgetting something.
|
|
|
|
* Update `configure.ac` and `meson.build` according to libtool rules
|
|
* Update `CHANGELOG.md` with list of changes done since last release
|
|
* Send a merge request with such changes, handle the review
|
|
* Try to build an RPM package from `make dist` output (see below notes
|
|
on how to build a source tarball)
|
|
* `git push` for the above MR
|
|
* `git push` for the version tag created (for instance you can use
|
|
`git push origin v0.14.3` or `git push --tags`)
|
|
* Send an email to spice-devel mailing list
|
|
* Sign generated tarball (to create a detached signature run
|
|
`gpg2 -sb spice-release.tar.bz2`)
|
|
* On Gitlab update tags (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/-/tags)
|
|
* Add ChangeLog information
|
|
* Upload tarball and relative signature
|
|
* Upload tarball and relative signature to
|
|
https://www.spice-space.org/download/releases/ (sftp to
|
|
`spice-uploader@spice-web.osci.io:/var/www/www.spice-space.org/download/releases/`)
|
|
* Update file `download.rst` in
|
|
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-space-pages
|
|
* Create a merge request for `spice-space-pages`
|
|

How to build a source tarball
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. `git tag -a v0.14.3 -m 'spice-server 0.14.3'` (replace the version)
|
|
2. `git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/spice.git`
|
|
3. `cd spice`
|
|
4. `./autogen.sh --disable-dependency-tracking`
|
|
5. `(cd subprojects/spice-common && make gitignore)`
|
|
6. `make dist`
|
|
|
|
Step 4 is to avoid a problem with `.deps` directories, step 5 to avoid
|
|
the directory to be dirty due to missing `.gitignore` files.
