To do a release: - Update NEWS, configure.ac, and fetchmail.man, with release number & date. - Run "perl dist-tools/makerelease.pl" - this entails "make distcheck". - Commit all files to the VCS (Git). - Tag the new release with a signed tag. - cd to ~/public_html/fetchmail and edit index.html for the new tarballs and NEWS files and last update. - These would be done automatically by makerelease.pl: - Upload sig and tarball to ~/public_html/fetchmail/ - Upload sig and tarball to ftp.berlios.de:/incoming/ and release - Upload lsm, sig and tarball to ibiblio.org:/incoming/linux/ - Update the fetchmail website for version, link to release nodes (update release_id) and last update, commit, and upload. - Announce on freshmeat.
