Revision Changes Path
1.1 httpd-apreq/RELEASE
Index: RELEASE
===================================================================
Instructions for httpd-apreq Release Manager (RM)
1. Prep the package for CPAN by running:
% sh BUILD.sh
% perl Makefile.PL
% make dist
This will generate a libapreq-1.X.tar.gz candidate in the
current directory. You should keep this source tree
intact to generate the final release.
2. Test the generated file's './configure ...' build and
'perl Makefile.PL ...' build. Make sure all perl tests pass.
3. Upload a release candidate to httpd.apache.org/~username
and post a candidate announcement to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
4. Give the apreq-dev@ participants 48 hours to comment on
the candidate. If there's no problems, proceed to the next
step. Otherwise, try to address the issues, commit fixes to,
cvs, and start over. You can repeat this process on the
modperl@ list, but that choice is up to the RM.
5. The candidate is ok. Now return to the original source tree
and edit ./Changes:
=item 1.X - <Today's Date>
libapreq-1.X released.
6. Tag the tree, s/./_/g in the version number, and roll the release.
% cvs tag v1_X
% make dist
7. Test the release package, repeating step 2. If all tests pass,
sign and (optionally) md5sum it:
% gpg --detach-sign --armor libapreq-1.X.tar.gz
% md5sum libapreq-1.X.tar.gz > libapreq-1.X.tar.gz.md5
8. Upload (scp) the package, signature, and md5 checksum to www.apache.org
for distribution:
% scp libapreq-1.X.tar.gz* \
<username>@www.apache.org:/www/httpd.apache.org/dist/httpd/libapreq/
Get another developer to confirm the uploaded package signatures
and md5 checksums are ok.
% gpg --verify libapreq-1.X.tar.gz.asc
% md5sum --check libapreq.1.X.tar.gz.md5
9. Upload the package to CPAN. Doublecheck that the md5 checksum
received from PAUSE is correct.
10. Post announcement to modperl@ and apreq-dev@ list:
Subject: [ANNOUNCE] libapreq 1.X release
Include the md5 signature in the announcement, as well as
a list of the latest Changes (since the previous release).
