The idea is that every project should do somewhat frequent (depending on the development pace) releases, and do tarballs for that. Pretty much every software project I know works that way, and it really helps packagers or anyone else consuming it. For example for the xfs userspace we have a script that does all the releasing in one go: - update the documentation with the release date - tag the git tree - build the tarball Here's the script: --- #!/bin/bash # # Automate generating a new release # version=${PKG_MAJOR}.${PKG_MINOR}.${PKG_REVISION} date=`date +"%-d %B %Y"` echo "Updating CHANGES" sed -e "s/${version}.*/${version} (${date})/" doc/CHANGES > doc/CHANGES.tmp && \ mv doc/CHANGES.tmp doc/CHANGES echo "Commiting CHANGES update to git" git commit -s -a -m "${version} release" echo "Tagging git repository" git tag -s -a -m "${version} release" v${version} echo "Creating source tarball" make dist echo "Done." echo "Please remember to push out tags using \"git push --tags\"" -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe target-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
