The release criteria for libdrm is essentially "if you need a release, |
|
make one". There is no designated release engineer or maintainer. |
|
Anybody is free to make a release if there's a certain feature or bug |
|
fix they need in a released version of libdrm. |
|
|
|
When new ioctl definitions are merged into drm-next, we will add |
|
support to libdrm, at which point we typically create a new release. |
|
However, this is up to whoever is driving the feature in question. |
|
|
|
Follow these steps to release a new version of libdrm: |
|
|
|
1) Bump the version number in configure.ac and meson.build. We seem |
|
to have settled for 2.4.x as the versioning scheme for libdrm, so |
|
just bump the micro version. |
|
|
|
2) Run autoconf and then re-run ./configure so the build system |
|
picks up the new version number. |
|
|
|
3) Verify that the code passes "make distcheck". Running "make |
|
distcheck" should result in no warnings or errors and end with a |
|
message of the form: |
|
|
|
============================================= |
|
libdrm-X.Y.Z archives ready for distribution: |
|
libdrm-X.Y.Z.tar.gz |
|
libdrm-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2 |
|
============================================= |
|
|
|
Make sure that the version number reported by distcheck and in |
|
the tarball names matches the number you bumped to in configure.ac. |
|
|
|
4) Push the updated master branch with the bumped version number: |
|
|
|
git push origin master |
|
|
|
assuming the remote for the upstream libdrm repo is called origin. |
|
|
|
5) Use the release.sh script from the xorg/util/modular repo to |
|
upload the tarballs to the freedesktop.org download area and |
|
create an announce email template. The script takes one argument: |
|
the path to the libdrm checkout. So, if a checkout of modular is |
|
at the same level than the libdrm repo: |
|
|
|
./modular/release.sh libdrm |
|
|
|
This copies the two tarballs to freedesktop.org and creates |
|
libdrm-2.4.16.announce which has a detailed summary of the |
|
changes, links to the tarballs, MD5 and SHA1 sums and pre-filled |
|
out email headers. Fill out the blank between the email headers |
|
and the list of changes with a brief message of what changed or |
|
what prompted this release. Send out the email and you're done!
