Hello, I've just documented the workflow I used to update the NEWS file. Please let me know what I missed and if you have ideas for improvement.
Thanks Jörg jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/git(master)> git branch newsupdate jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/git(master)> git checkout newsupdate Switched to branch 'newsupdate' jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/git(newsupdate)> rm NEWS ==> In another window: Change NEWS file jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/build/qt-gtk3> make release_notes Generating /home/jmayer/work/wireshark/git/NEWS Built target release_notes ==> Back to original window: jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/git(newsupdate)> git status [...] # modified: NEWS [...] jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/git(newsupdate)> git commit -a [newsupdate c159b39] As long as the NEWS file is part of the source distribution it really needs to be updated every time the file docbook/release-notes.asciidoc get changed. 1 file changed, 65 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-) jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/git(newsupdate)> git review remote: Resolving deltas: 100% (2/2) remote: Processing changes: new: 1, refs: 1, done remote: remote: New Changes: remote: https://code.wireshark.org/review/398 remote: To ssh://[email protected]:29418/wireshark * [new branch] HEAD -> refs/publish/master/newsupdate jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/git(newsupdate)> gerrit review 398,1 --submit --code-review +2 jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/git(newsupdate)> git checkout master Switched to branch 'master' jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/git(master)> git branch -D newsupdate Deleted branch newsupdate (was c159b39). Note: The "gerrit" command is actually an alias: alias gerrit='ssh [email protected] -p 29418 gerrit' -- Joerg Mayer <[email protected]> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
