* Change bug URL from http://rt.perl.org to https://rt.perl.orgMax Maischein2019-10-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates the bug tracker URL from http://rt.perl.org to https://rt.perl.org. There is a place in the code, in corelist.pl, that is sensitive to the URL of the bug tracker. This now understands both versions of the bug tracker URL. Ideally, this will be consolidated once the dust settles. This patch also updates ExtUtils::CBuilder, Safe, threads and threads::shared to point to the new bug tracker URL.
* Move http:// URLs to https:// URLs in source codeMax Maischein2019-10-111-8/+8
| | | | | | This commit moves more URLs from http to https. This time it affects some source code, that's why it is not bunched up with the commits affecting pod/*

* Replace Release Managers Guide (RMG) with new version:Sawyer X2017-07-161-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many of the mistakes made by me during a release has to do with the confusing instructions in the guide. * Some steps are mentioned in different order * Some steps are mentioned (and noted to *NOT* do) * The confusion between "MAINT" and "BLEAD-FINAL", and "BLEAD-FINAL" and "BLEAD-POINT". This generator generates a checklist with only the instruction you *will* have to perform. Any steps that mentions they must be skipped for the release will not be included in the end-result. Unlike the previous guide, you need not know the type of the release you do. Instead, you give the version you want to release and it generates the appropriate one for you. All the following incantations work: perl Porting/make-rmg-checklist --version 5.26.0-RC2 # RC perl Porting/make-rmg-checklist --version 5.26.0 # BLEAD-FINAL perl Porting/make-rmg-checklist --version 5.27.0 # BLEAD-POINT perl Porting/make-rmg-checklist --version 5.27.1 # BLEAD-POINT perl Porting/make-rmg-checklist --version 5.26.1 # MAINT Extra benefit: Apparently it includes additional checklist steps at the top that somehow are not included when you currently generate. Downside: HTML is not yet supported.

* pods: Add L<> for links missing them; a couple nitsKarl Williamson2017-04-051-8/+8
|
* Also check minitest when preparing the tarball:Sawyer X2017-03-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | This was noted by Jarkko was a missing instruction for something that tends to fail but we usually don't notice. ("We" here excludes Jarkko who randomly finds this broken without us noticing.) I wasn't sure where to put this, but preparing the tarball seems like an appropriate time.
* Discuss Porting/sync-with-cpan -- the simpler usage -- first.James E Keenan2016-12-301-6/+9
| | | | Incorporate feedback from Aaron Crane.
* RMG: suggest a simpler way of reviewing perlhist changesAaron Crane2016-11-111-6/+8
|
* RMG: break a list over multiple linesAaron Crane2016-11-111-3/+17
| | | | | I found these three similar filenames hard to read when flowed into a single paragraph.
* RT now imports new tags automaticallyAlex Vandiver2016-06-211-12/+0
| | | | | New perl releases are detected via an every-hour cron job, which will update the relevant custom fields. This step is thus now unnecessary.
* Correct POD for release managers document:Sawyer X2016-05-191-1/+1
| | | | A literal / (solidus) is E<sol>.
* fix typo in RMGKaren Etheridge2016-05-161-1/+1
|
* document the ?pair option to beforemaintreleaseRicardo Signes2016-05-111-0/+5
|
* Fix some pod errorsKarl Williamson2016-04-221-6/+6
| | | | | These were discovered while testing the Pod::Checker that is intended to be used in 5.25.
* Suggest having the previous release ready.Abigail2016-03-251-0/+7
| | | | | | | Each time I do a release, I find myself scrambling to download the tarball of the previous release, and install it so it can be compared to the release that's worked on. Added a paragraph as a reminder to that before the day of the release.
* List perl.develop-help.com in the RMG regarding smoke reports.Matthew Horsfall2016-03-221-2/+2
|
* Point out that at some stage, porting tests will fail.Abigail2016-03-211-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | This trips me each and every time I make a release. Whenever the release manager guide calls for a compile/make test cycle, I run "make test_harness", and this fails at this stage, because Module::CoreList has not been updated yet (the next action described in the release managers guide is updating Module::CoreList). I also removed some suboptimal advice I've written here in the past.
* Mention (relative) path to Module::CoreList's Changes file.Abigail2016-03-201-0/+1
| | | | So we can easily copy-and-paste it.
* The public_html directory on dromedary is working again.Abigail2016-03-171-4/+2
| | | | So, I removed the references that it wasn't working in December 2015.
* Updated outdated link to smoke reports for HP-UXH.Merijn Brand2016-02-111-1/+1
|
* Remove outdated task in release:Sawyer X2016-02-091-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | I checked with Graham Barr, who said the list of PAUSE accounts that can upload perl distributions is automated and taken from: http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=who_pumpkin;OF=YAML This means that if you're already on the list, you do not need to check again on search.cpan.org or to bug Graham. :)
