This is an alpha testing release of GNU Libtool. To get the latest
CVS version of this package, do:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/home/cvs login
[Hit return when prompted for the password]
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/home/cvs checkout libtool
cd libtool
./bootstrap
The `bootstrap' script sets up the source directory for you to hack. To
use it, you need a recent (maybe yet to be released) version of both
Autoconf and Automake.
If you have any suggestions or bug reports, or you wish to port
libtool to a new platform, please send electronic mail to the libtool
mailing list <libtool@gnu.org> or bug reports to <bug-libtool@gnu.org>.
Don't forget to mention the version of libtool that you are currently
using (by typing `libtool --version').
================================================================
= Administrivia
* If you incorporate a change from somebody on the net:
If it is a large change, you must make sure they have signed the
appropriate paperwork, and be sure to add their name and email
address to THANKS
* If a change fixes a test, mention the test in the ChangeLog entry.
* If somebody reports a new bug, mention his name in the ChangeLog entry
and in the test case you write.
* The correct response to most actual bugs is to write a new test case
which demonstrates the bug. Then fix the bug, re-run the test suite,
and check everything in.
* Some files in the libtool package are not owned by libtool. These
files should never be edited here. These files are:
COPYING
INSTALL
config/
+ config.guess
+ config.sub
+ depcomp
+ install-sh
+ mdate-sh
+ missing
+ texinfo.tex
doc/
+ fdl.texi
libltdl/
+ COPYING.LESSER
+ config.guess
+ config.sub
+ install-sh
+ missing
* Changes other than bug fixes must be mentioned in NEWS
================================================================
= Test suite
* Use "make check" liberally, on as many platforms as you can. Use as
many compilers and linkers you can.
================================================================
= Release procedure
* If you are a libtool maintainer, but have not yet registered your
gpg public key and (preferred) email address with the FSF, send an
email, preferably GPG-signed, to <ftp-upload@gnu.org> that includes
the following:
(a) name of package(s) that you are the maintainer for, and your
preferred email address.
(b) an ASCII armored copy of your GnuPG key, as an attachment.
("gpg --export -a YOUR_KEY_ID > mykey.asc" should give you
this.)
When you have received acknowledgement of your message, the proper GPG
keys will be registered on ftp-upload.gnu.org and only then will you be
authorized to upload files to the FSF ftp machines.
* Update NEWS, ChangeLog.
* Update the version number in configure.ac.
See http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/contribute.html for details of
the numbering scheme.
* Run ./bootstrap.
* Run `make fetch', which will fetch new versions of the files that are
maintained outside of libtool.
* Run ./configure and then make.
* Run `make cvs-dist' which will build a release tarball (with `make
distcheck'), commit the last NEWS, ChangeLog and configure.ac changes,
tag the tree with release-$(VERSION), and generate gpg signature files.
* Run `make cvs-diff' which will create a diff file against the previous
release tag (set OLDVERSION=min.maj[.mic[alpha]] in the environment
beforehand if necessary), and generate gpg signature files.
* Make sure you have a copy of xdelta installed, and a copy of the previous
release tarball in the build directory, then run `make xdelta', which will
create an xdelta file between this and the previous release tarballs (set
OLDVERSION=min.maj[.mic[alpha]] in the environment beforehand if necessary),
and generate gpg signature files.
* Upload release tarball, diff file and xdelta file, plus their associated
detached gpg signature files and clear signed directive files to
ftp-upload.gnu.org. If the upload is destined for ftp.gnu.org, then the
files should be placed in the /incoming/ftp directory. If the upload is
an alpha release destined for alpha.gnu.org, then the files should be
placed in the /incoming/alpha directory.incoming/ftp/gnu/libtool. Then send
announcement to libtool@gnu.org and autotools-announce@gnu.org.
* If not an alpha, announcement must also go to info-gnu@gnu.org, and an
upload request be sent to ftp-upload@gnu.org requesting files be transferred
from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool to ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool.
* Update version number in configure.ac to next alpha number.
* Commit.
* Update the front libtool webpage to indicate the latest release
number, and the news page to reflect the latest release note.

= Alpha release note template
To: libtool@gnu.org, autotools-announce@gnu.org
The Libtool Team is pleased to announce alpha release @VERSION@ of GNU
Libtool.
GNU Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a
consistent, portable interface. GNU Libtool ships with GNU libltdl,
which hides the complexity of loading dynamic runtime libraries
(modules) behind a consistent, portable interface.
Here are the compressed sources:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-@VERSION@.tar.gz
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-@VERSION@.tar.bz2
Here are the xdeltas and diffs against libtool-@PREV_RELEASE_VERSION_ON_THIS_BRANCH@:

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-@PREV_RELEASE_VERSION_ON_THIS_BRANCH@-@VERSION@.xdelta
Here are the gpg detached signatures:

@SHA1SUM@ libtool-@PREV_RELEASE_VERSION_ON_THIS_BRANCH@-@VERSION@.diff.gz
@SHA1SUM@ libtool-@PREV_RELEASE_VERSION_ON_THIS_BRANCH@-@VERSION@.xdelta
This release has @SUMMARY_OF_IMPROVEMENTS_SINCE_LAST_RELEASE_ON_THIS_BRANCH@.
This release was bootstrapped with @BOOTSTRAP_TOOLS_WITH_VERSIONS@,
but is useable with @COMPATIBLE_AUTOTOOL_VERSIONS@ in your own
projects.
Alternatively, you can fetch the unbootstrapped sourcecode from
anonymous cvs by using the following commands (just hit return when
you are prompted for the password):
$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/libtool login
Password:
$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/libtool \
co -r @CVS_RELEASE_TAG@ libtool
You will then need to have recent (possibly as yet unreleased) versions
of Automake and Autoconf installed to bootstrap the checked out
sources yourself.

@EXCERPT_FROM_NEWS_FILE@
Please report bugs to <bug-libtool@gnu.org>.
