Instructions to create pretest or release tarballs. -- originally written by Eli Zaretskii, amended by Francesco Potort́ For each step, check for possible errors. 1. cvs -q update -Pd 2. Bootstrap to make 100% sure all elc files are up-to-date, and to make sure that the later tagged version will bootstrap, should it be necessary to check it out. 3. Set the version number (M-x load-file RET admin/admin.el RET, then M-x set-version RET). For a release, add released change log entries (M-x add-release-logs RET). 4. rm configure; make bootstrap 5. Commit configure, loaddefs.el, cus-load.el, finder-inf.el, README, emacs.texi. 6. make-dist --snapshot. Check the contents of the new tar with admin/diff-tar-files against an older tar file. Some old pretest tarballs are kept under fencepost.gnu.org:~pot/emacs-pretest/. 7. Make xdeltas: xdelta delta emacs-OLD.tar.gz emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta 8. tar -zxf emacs-NEW.tar.gz; cd NEW Then, either using `script' or M-x compile, do configure && make && make -n install Save the compilation log in compile-NEW.log and compare it against an old one. The easiest way to do that is to visit the old log in Emacs, change the version number of the old Emacs to __, do the same with the new log and do M-x ediff. Especially check that Info files aren't built. 9. `cvs tag TAG' in the toplevel Emacs dir. TAG is EMACS_PRETEST_XX_YY_ZZZ for a pretest, don't know for a release. 10. For pretests, make an announcement by selecting new data from the change logs and save it into emacs-NEW.announce, don't know for a release. To get the new data from change logs, you can use: cvs -q diff -b -r EMACS_PRETEST_XX_YY_ZZZ $(find -name ChangeLog|sort) | sed -n -e 's/^=\+//p' -e 's/^> //p' -e 's/^diff.*//p' \ -e 's/^RCS file: .cvsroot.emacs.emacs.\(.*\),v/\1/p' 11. rsync emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta compile-NEW.log \ emacs-new.announce alpha.gnu.org:/home/alpha/gnu/emacs/pretest/ 12. Verify that after five minutes at most the files appear on ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/. 13. Let Richard Stallman know about the new pretest and tell him to announce it using the announcement you prepared.
