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/)
  • 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.
