* 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* Updated outdated link to smoke reports for HP-UXH.Merijn Brand2016-02-111-1/+1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* Remove outdated task in release:Sawyer X2016-02-091-6/+0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. :)
* RMG: fix typo, clarify instructions a bitKaren Etheridge2016-01-011-2/+2
|
* Update release manager's guideDavid Golden2015-12-221-6/+41
|
* Start fixing some pod pedantic errorsKarl Williamson2015-09-031-26/+26
| | | | This fixes a bunch of them, but there are many more
* RMG - Manually adding perldelta for Module::CoreList isn't neededMatthew Horsfall2015-07-211-1/+4
|
* RMG: Note that Porting/cmpVERSION.pl requires -Ilib to runMatthew Horsfall2015-07-201-1/+1

|
* RMG: Encourage use of http://analysis.cpantesters.org/beforemaintreleaseSteve Hay2015-02-161-0/+9

* RMG - Remove a trailing spaceSteve Hay2015-01-311-1/+1
|
* RMG - Put all version-bump related information about INSTALL in one placeSteve Hay2015-01-311-4/+6
| | | | | | Also correct the phrase referred to by the RMG to match what INSTALL actualy says, and change the wording of one section of INSTALL to match the other.
* RMG - Consistent four-space indent; wrap all lines to 79 charactersSteve Hay2015-01-311-60/+68
|
* RMG - Module/CoreList.pod is no longer updated, since 64eeb2c06cSteve Hay2015-01-311-11/+2
|
* RMG - Show correct Porting/corelist-perldelta.pl command for MAINT releasesSteve Hay2015-01-311-0/+4
|
* RMG - Note that Porting/cmVERSION.pl should be used to check more releasesSteve Hay2015-01-291-0/+14
| | | | | | | t/porting/cmp_version.t only runs Porting/cmVERSION.pl for the previous release of the current branch, but we need to check that our versions differ from modules in releases from other branches too. For example, when releasing 5.20.2 we need to check against 5.18.4 too.

* List files to modify.Abigail2014-10-201-0/+4
| | | | | | | Explicitely list the files to modify when upping/checking the VERSION of the various CoreList modules, for easy copy-and-pasting. I grew tired of running find.

|
* RMG - Remove out-of-date instruction about epigraph linkSteve Hay2014-09-251-5/+0
| | | | | Thanks to the revelation of the X-List-Archive header (see 70d95cc994) we no longer need to add the epigraph link on the day after.
* RMG - Even RCs these days generally get an epigraphSteve Hay2014-09-251-6/+1
|
* RMG - Note why it is that MAINT is version-bumped late rather than earlySteve Hay2014-09-251-0/+12
| | | | Thanks to Nicholas Clark for pulling this reasoning from his memory banks.
* Installing Inline no longer installs Inline::C.Abigail2014-07-201-1/+1
