Notes for the GnuPG maintainer (GIT only)
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
Here are some notes on how to maintain GnuPG.
|
|
|
|
Release Planning:
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
If you are planning a new release and strings have changed you should
|
|
send a notification to all translators, so that they have time to
|
|
update their translations. scripts/mail-to-translators is useful for
|
|
this. It might need some tweaking and it needs to be armored for
|
|
actual sending. Running it as is to see what will happen is a good
|
|
idea, though.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Release process:
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
* Make sure that all new PO files are checked in.
|
|
|
|
* Decide whether you want to update the automake standard files
|
|
(Mainly config.guess and config.sub).
|
|
|
|
* [2.0] Copy needed texinfo files from master:
|
|
make -C doc update-source
|
|
|
|
* Run:
|
|
make -C po update-po
|
|
|
|
* Write NEWS entries and set the release date in NEWS.
|
|
|
|
* Commit all changes to GIT with a message of "Release n.m.o."
|
|
|
|
* Create a signed tag with the name "gnupg-x.y.z".
|
|
|
|
* Run "./autogen.sh --force"
|
|
(--force is required for the git magic in configure.ac and a good
|
|
idea in any case)
|
|
|
|
* Run "configure --enable-maintainer-mode".
|
|
|
|
* Run "make distcheck".
|
|
|
|
* Build and test the new tarball (best on a different machine).
|
|
|
|
* Build and test the W32 version.
|
|
|
|
* [2.x only] Using the final test build run a "make -C doc online".
|
|
|
|
* Sign the tarball
|
|
|
|
* Get the previous tarball and run "mkdiff gnupg".
|
|
You might need to set a different signature key than mine. mkdiff
|
|
has an option for this.
|
|
|
|
* Push the git changes and the tag.
|
|
|
|
* Copy the files to the FTP server
|
|
|
|
* Update the webpages - at least the file swdb.mac needs an update.
|
|
|
|
* Add a new headline to NEWS.
|
|
|
|
* Bump the version number in configure.ac up, add an empty NEWS
|
|
entry, commit, and push that.
|
|
|
|
* Write an announcement.
|
|
|
|
* Update https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnupg .

Gotchas
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
- If during "make distcheck" you get an error about a permission
|
|
problem moving foo.new.po to foo.po; this is caused by a check
|
|
whether the po files can be re-created. Now if the first tarball
|
|
has been created in a different top directory and if there exists a
|
|
no distributed file with the string "GNU gnupg" (e.g. a log file
|
|
from running make) you end up with different comments in the po
|
|
files. Check out /usr/lib/gettext/project-id for that silliness.
|
|
As a hack we added this string into configure.ac.
