I've got a few questions about release preparations, branch layouts, and such... First of all, what format should the release tarball be in? There are few options: 1) Simple drop into theme manager style tarball with only: 16x16 22x22 24x24 32x32 48x48 index.theme scalable 2) A real release tarball along with a deb. 3) ??? Which branch would the release be from? The autotools magic is only in the debian packaging branch. Some other issues: The COPYING file in the debian packaging branch and the LICENSE file in the breath-icon-set branch are different. README in both branches is an empty file. I was able to create a standard GNU style release tarball from the debian packaging branch with the following steps: Edit version number in configure.ac and configure.ac-template rm -r debian bzr log -v --gnu-changelog > ChangeLog autoreconf automake --add-missing autoreconf ./autogen.sh make make check make distcheck I'd also do a review of the debian packaging if it would be helpful. Anyways, I might be interested in taking on the release manager role. But in many ways it seems like a task for you, Cory, since you are the one setting goals and driving development. Though, not being an artist, it would be a way that I could contribute to the project. - Andrew -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
