CHECKLIST FOR NEW RELEASES
==========================

Release steps:
- Check out lm-sensors
- Update if necessary, the version number of libsensors
  (edit lib/Module.mk and change LIBMAINVER and/or LIBMINORVER)
  Remember: update main number when interface changes, minor if new
  functionality is added, and patch if only bugs are fixed.
- Update the CHANGES file (set version and release date)
- Update doc/developers/lm_sensors.lsm (Version, Entered-date and Primary-site)
- Update doc/libsensors-API.txt and SENSORS_API_VERSION in lib/sensors.h
- Update version.h
- Commit
- Tag the release using SVN:
  svn copy http://lm-sensors.org/svn/lm-sensors/trunk http://lm-sensors.org/svn/lm-sensors/tags/V3-x-x -m "3.x.x release"

- Move to a temporary directory and get a copy of the freshly tagged code:
  svn export http://lm-sensors.org/svn/lm-sensors/tags/V3-x-x lm_sensors-3.x.x
- Tar it up:
  tar -jcf lm_sensors-3.x.x.tar.bz2 lm_sensors-3.x.x
- Sign it:
  gpg -b lm_sensors-3.x.x.tar.bz2
- Post it:
  scp lm_sensors-3.x.x.tar.bz2{,.sig} devel.atrpms.net:/srv/lm-sensors.org/dl/lm-sensors/releases
- Set correct permissions:
  ssh devel.atrpms.net chmod 664 '/srv/lm-sensors.org/dl/lm-sensors/releases/lm_sensors-3.x.x.tar.bz2{,.sig}'

After release, remember to:
- Update the Download page on lm-sensors.org, then add a news item
- Announce on the lm-sensors mailing list
- Add "+SVN" to version.h and commit
- Mark the corresponding release milestone as complete using trac-admin
  e.g. 'trac-admin /srv/lm-sensors.org/trac milestone completed 3.x.x now'
- Create a new version for the bug tracking system using trac-admin
  e.g. 'trac-admin /srv/lm-sensors.org/trac version add 3.x.x now'
- Create a new release milestone using trac-admin
  e.g. 'trac-admin /srv/lm-sensors.org/trac milestone add 3.x.x+1 2012-05-10'
- Send lm_sensors.lsm to the LSM by mailing it to lsm@qqx.org with the
  subject `add' (no quotes)
- Copy to mirrors
- Announce on Freecode
