# How to prepare a release
## sync translations from translationproject
In the toplevel directory (of which po/ is a subdirectory)
rsync -Lrtvz translationproject.org::tp/latest/libgphoto2/ po
cd libgphoto2\_port
rsync -Lrtvz translationproject.org::tp/latest/libgphoto2\_port/ po
cd ..
if gphoto2 is released too:
rsync -Lrtvz translationproject.org::tp/latest/gphoto2/ po
For updated files, use
git commit LANG.po --author="Last translator from po file"
to make it clear who did the change.
## sync music-players.h from libmtp
(We ship this to give additional device support for distributions
that might update libmtp less often.)
Copy over from libmtp and commit.
## test cameras
Run: make check
In the gphoto2 checkout I am running <code>perl tests/testcamera.pl</code>
for several cameras that might have been affected by the current release.
## update NEWS
git diff libgphoto2-2\_5\_21-release.. | less
summarize changes
## tag release
bump version in configure.ac, NEWS, commit and push.
make clean
make
sudo make install
## build and sign release ŧarballs
make distcheck
this builds .gz, .bz2 and .xz tarballs currently.
GPG detach sign:
gpg --detach-sign -a libgphoto2-2.5.27.tar.bz2
gpg --detach-sign -a libgphoto2-2.5.27.tar.gz
gpg --detach-sign -a libgphoto2-2.5.27.tar.xz
this will create .asc files alongside the tarballs.
Similar when doing the gphoto2 release.
## tag git
Do old style and new style GIT tagging (new style for github largely)
git tag libgphoto2-2\_5\_27-release
git tag v2.5.27
git push --tags
## create a README for sourceforge
paste the NEWS blob from this release into README for uploading
## SF upload
Create a new folder below libgphoto2 with the release number in it (Add Folder)
Inside that "Add File" of the tarballs, the .asc files and the README.
After upload, select "Info" on the .tar.bz2 tarball, and "Select All" for the Default download.
This will make it point the "default download" link to this tarball.
If you are uploading gphoto2, do the same ... but do not select it for the default download.
## Github tagging
https://github.com/gphoto/libgphoto2/releases
"Draft a new release"
Select the new release tag. Name is "2.5.27 release",
paste in the NEWS blob into the textfield.
## Edit the website
### index.php
Use a entry similar to the current ones. Drop older ones occasionally.
### news/index.php
Paste in the NEWS blob, htmlify with h2 - h3 and ul/li lists, same as the ones before
### proj/libgphoto2/support.php
Adjust the date (LANG=C date).
Adjust the gphoto2 --version blob (LANG=C gphoto2 --version). Make sure you have the correct versions in there.
Replace the table with fresh output of:
/usr/lib64/libgphoto2/print-camera-list html
### Upload via sftp
see upload.sh ... html tree starts below htdocs/ on the server.
Do not forget to "svn ci" the changes.
### Verify website.
Check the pages render OK and no HTML error was introduced.
## Announce to mailing list
Write a summary email to gphoto-user@lists.sourceforge.net, gphoto-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Add download links to either SF or GITHUB.
## Announce to freshcode.club
https://freshcode.club/, look for libgphoto2
Fill out the "New release" form. It is pretty straight forward. As text use the NEWS blob again.
Same for gphoto2.
## Announce to twitter / facebook / etc.
e.g.:
I have just released libgphoto2 2.5.22 ( http://gphoto.org/news/ )
... Fixed Canon EOS M and PowerShot SX capture, added Sony Alpha RX0
and RX100M5A, added Canon EOS R, and some bugfixes.
## change IRC topic of #gphoto in libera.chat
/msg Chanserv topic #gphoto Digital cameras for Linux/UNIX/MacOS | http://gphoto.org/ | just ask | no webcams | newest 2.5.27
## Make git ready for further development
Rev NEWS and configure.ac versions to 2.5.27.1 devel release.
