I basically do:
- quick smoke test to make sure libvirt and virsh are working: -- stop system libvirtd -- sudo ./daemon/libvirt -- sudo ./tools/virsh list --all - make check && make rpm && make distcheck - cd po/ && make update-po - bump configure.ac - bump rpm spec - git tag v$VER -m "libvirt release $VER" - commit - git push && git push --tags - git clean -xdf && ./autogen.sh --system && make dist - upload tarball - update http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Maintenance_Releases - send out announce mail
It would be very nice if the announce mail included either a sha256 checksum for the tarball (thanks Guido for doing that in your recent release!), or a GPG key used to sign the release, see http://lwn.net/Articles/548857/ for more details about this.
I sign the tag as well as the email so together with the checksums this builds the "chain of trust" (given you trust my gpg signature). A further improvement would be to build the tarballs first and then add the checksums as the commit message of the tag - I'll try to do that with the next 0.9.12.x release. This is the quick hack I'm currently using based on Cole's description - it sure needs further tweeking when doing further releases: --- #!/bin/bash # set -e if [ -z "$1" -o -z "$2" ]; then echo "Usage $0 version oldversion" exit 1 fi VERSION=$1 OLDVER=$2 TARBALL=libvirt-$1.tar.gz MD5=$(md5sum $TARBALL) SHA1=$(sha1sum $TARBALL) SHA256=$(sha256sum $TARBALL) git tag -s -m "libvirt release $VERSION" v$VERSION CHANGES=$(git log --no-merges --pretty=" %s (%an)" v$OLDVER..v$VERSION) cat <<EOF To: libvirt-list@redhat.com Cc: libvirt-announce@redhat.com Subject: ANNOUNCE: libvirt $VERSION maintenance release libvirt $VERSION maintenance release is now available.
