Collin Funk 25eaa5a6 2025-07-19T18:08:57 readme-release: Remove link to Hydra autobuilder. * top/README-release: Remove link to Hydra autobuilder since the recipes have not been updated in years.
Jim Meyering 29596f8d 2018-06-19T15:47:53 README-release: also run any check-very-expensive tests * top/README-release: Adjust instructions so they run the check-very-expensive tests when there is such a target.
Bruno Haible 03eac9d3 2017-09-14T00:35:56 all: Replace many more http URLs by https URLs. Update stale URLs. * users.txt: Remove mention of 'newts'. * lib/localename.c: Update comment about LANG_SOTHO.

Akim Demaille b9a38b45 2012-09-20T11:10:34 maint.mk: provide "make upload" to ease uploading See <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-08/msg00028.html>. Do not depend simply on the current $(VERSION), as there may have been new commits since the tarball generation. Rather, rely on $(RELEASE), as "make release-commit" already does. For consistency, add "make release RELEASE='X.Y TYPE'" as an alias for "make TYPE". * top/maint.mk (upload_command, upload, release): New. (RELEASE_TYPE): If undefined, default to the second word of $(RELEASE). (VERSION): first word of $(RELEASE) is always right. (emit_upload_commands): Adjust. * top/README-release: Update.
Akim Demaille bd54a45e 2012-08-01T09:55:49 maint.mk: a "release-commit" wrapper to do-release-commit-and-tag * build-aux/do-release-commit-and-tag: Move variable definitions together. ($branch): Instead of defaulting to "master", default to the current branch (as gnu-web-doc-update does). (help): Display the current values of the option arguments. * top/maint.mk (release-commit): New. * top/README-release: Simplify the corresponding step.
Akim Demaille 957a625d 2012-07-30T13:41:01 maint.mk: provide a web-manual-update target * top/maint.mk: here. * top/README-release: Use it to simplify the web manual update step.
Akim Demaille c0439bc0 2012-07-30T12:27:29 README-release: shorten the circuit to post a news * top/README-release: Point directly to the news submission form.
Reuben Thomas 9bb1d38c 2012-07-13T11:54:21 README-release: make it more legible * top/README-release: improve typography slightly.
Akim Demaille b630d565 2012-06-07T16:17:36 gnu-web-doc-update: VPATH builds * build-aux/gnu-web-doc-update (--builddir): New option. Revamp the handling of options. Prefer $(...) to `...`. Don't pass --tmpdir=. to mktemp, it is useless given that we specify the template, and it is GNU mktemp specific. Prefer set -e to long series of &&. Restore the initial git branch, not "master". Properly initialize submodules (don't rely only on bootstrap) Do not reconfigure blindly, use config.status. * top/README-release: Update instructions for gnu-web-doc-update.
Akim Demaille e03145b9 2012-06-07T16:17:30 do-release-commit-and-tag: support VPATH builds * build-aux/do-release-commit-and-tag: Prefer $(...) to `...`. (noteworthy): Defined earlier to factor its value. (noteworthy_stub): New. Use it to factor. (help_version): Split into... (help, version): these. Adjust the option processing part. Support "--option=value" in addition to "--option value". (builddir): New. (--builddir): New option. * top/README-release: Document this. Reword slightly so that the reader cannot understand that he has to do these steps before calling do-release-commit-and-tag.
Reuben Thomas eb713618 2012-03-20T13:37:21 README-release: simplify slightly * top/README-release: Run "git checkout master" only once.
Reuben Thomas 7e367a35 2012-02-18T15:16:38 README-release: make it easier to execute commands * top/README-release: break commands out on to separate lines.
Reuben Thomas e45d5577 2012-02-09T13:05:57 README-release: various improvements
Reuben Thomas eab243b0 2012-02-09T11:06:39 README-release: capitalize a word and split a line * top/README-release: Fix punctuation and spacing.
Jim Meyering 0eab6e2c 2012-01-28T10:49:35 doc: clarify README-release * top/README-release: Clarify: you should make a point to have the latest stable versions of build tools in your PATH, and the reference to buildreq is solely for its list of tool names, not for its minimal-functional version numbers. Prompted by discussion with Reuben Thomas and Gary V. Vaughan.
Reuben Thomas 262ac666 2011-12-18T15:23:31 README-release: fix punctuation * top/README-release: s/:/./
Gary V. Vaughan 356e3744 2011-10-23T13:13:46 readme-release: improve safety of release prep instructions. * README-release: Don't git pull all branches when only master is needed for the release process. Run make maintainer-clean before changing trees and merging. Don't try to run ./configure right after git pull in case files that influence the bootstrap process have changed, move the ./configure step to after running ./bootstrap. Don't bootstrap "one last time"... it's the first time!
Reuben Thomas 49f195d1 2011-08-19T21:25:35 doc: fix typo in README-release * top/README-release: Capitalize first word of a sentence.
