c-ares release procedure - how to do a release
in the source code repo
-
edit
RELEASE-NOTES
to be accurate -
make sure all relevant changes are committed on the master branch
-
tag the git repo in this style:
git tag -a cares-1_13_0
-a annotates the tag and we use underscores instead of dots in the version number. -
run "./maketgz 1.13.0" to build the release tarball. It is important that you run this on a machine with the correct set of autotools etc installed as this is what then will be shipped and used by most users on *nix like systems.
-
push the git commits and the new tag
-
gpg sign the tarball
-
upload the resulting files to https://c-ares.haxx.se/download/
-
update
ares_version.h
for the next version
in the c-ares-www repo
