-----------------------------------------
Summary: Automate release process documentation
Key: COUCHDB-1787
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1787
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build System, Documentation
Reporter: Dave Cottlehuber
The release process today contains a large number of manual transformation
steps.
Fixing this will make the release process significantly easier for release
managers, as well as less error-prone.
Ideally the output formats (NEWS, CHANGES in source tree, and HTML snippets for
http://couchdb.org/ website and http://blogs.apache.org/couchdb ) can be
auto-generated from either the .rst files in share/doc/src using sphinx's
.versionaddded/changed tags, or potentially from commit messages if this is
appropriate.
CouchDB documentation is generated today from restructured text using python
code, and rolled into the release documentation during `make distcheck`.
