* maint.mk: provide "make upload" to ease uploadingAkim Demaille2012-09-251-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | See <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-08/msg00028.html>. Do not depend simply on the current $(VERSION), as there may have been new commits since the tarball generation. Rather, rely on $(RELEASE), as "make release-commit" already does. For consistency, add "make release RELEASE='X.Y TYPE'" as an alias for "make TYPE". * top/maint.mk (upload_command, upload, release): New. (RELEASE_TYPE): If undefined, default to the second word of $(RELEASE). (VERSION): first word of $(RELEASE) is always right. (emit_upload_commands): Adjust. * top/README-release: Update.
* maint.mk: a "release-commit" wrapper to do-release-commit-and-tagAkim Demaille2012-08-011-8/+3
| | | | | | | | | | * build-aux/do-release-commit-and-tag: Move variable definitions together. ($branch): Instead of defaulting to "master", default to the current branch (as gnu-web-doc-update does). (help): Display the current values of the option arguments. * top/maint.mk (release-commit): New. * top/README-release: Simplify the corresponding step.
* maint.mk: provide a web-manual-update targetAkim Demaille2012-07-301-9/+5
| | | | | * top/maint.mk: here. * top/README-release: Use it to simplify the web manual update step.
* README-release: shorten the circuit to post a newsAkim Demaille2012-07-301-6/+6

* README-release: make it more legibleReuben Thomas2012-07-151-3/+9
| | | | * top/README-release: improve typography slightly.
* gnu-web-doc-update: VPATH buildsAkim Demaille2012-06-121-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | * build-aux/gnu-web-doc-update (--builddir): New option. Revamp the handling of options. Prefer $(...) to `...`. Don't pass --tmpdir=. to mktemp, it is useless given that we specify the template, and it is GNU mktemp specific. Prefer set -e to long series of &&. Restore the initial git branch, not "master". Properly initialize submodules (don't rely only on bootstrap) Do not reconfigure blindly, use config.status. * top/README-release: Update instructions for gnu-web-doc-update.
* do-release-commit-and-tag: support VPATH buildsAkim Demaille2012-06-071-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * build-aux/do-release-commit-and-tag: Prefer $(...) to `...`. (noteworthy): Defined earlier to factor its value. (noteworthy_stub): New. Use it to factor. (help_version): Split into... (help, version): these. Adjust the option processing part. Support "--option=value" in addition to "--option value". (builddir): New. (--builddir): New option. * top/README-release: Document this. Reword slightly so that the reader cannot understand that he has to do these steps before calling do-release-commit-and-tag.

* README-release: capitalize a word and split a lineReuben Thomas2012-02-091-2/+4
| | | | * top/README-release: Fix punctuation and spacing.
* doc: clarify README-releaseJim Meyering2012-01-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | * top/README-release: Clarify: you should make a point to have the latest stable versions of build tools in your PATH, and the reference to buildreq is solely for its list of tool names, not for its minimal-functional version numbers. Prompted by discussion with Reuben Thomas and Gary V. Vaughan.
* README-release: fix punctuationReuben Thomas2011-12-181-1/+1

* readme-release: improve safety of release prep instructions.Gary V. Vaughan2011-10-231-8/+6
| | | | | | | | | | * README-release: Don't git pull all branches when only master is needed for the release process. Run make maintainer-clean before changing trees and merging. Don't try to run ./configure right after git pull in case files that influence the bootstrap process have changed, move the ./configure step to after running ./bootstrap. Don't bootstrap "one last time"... it's the first time!
