How to do a GTK+ release? How to do a GTK+ release?
========================= =========================
Make sure you have Owen's special autoconf and libtool RPMs, available at: Make sure you have suitable versions of autoconf and libtool.

dependencies (I used the RPM package names from RedHat 9): dependencies:
* gtk-doc * gtk-doc
* linuxdoc-tools
* docbook-utils * docbook-utils

13) Send it to gnome-announce-list, gtk-list, gtk-app-devel-list and snapshot or a stable release):
gtk-devel-list. Set reply-to to gnome-hackers. * forgotten source files

15) Create a new milestone in bugzilla and move the remaining bugs from the * symbols that are exported by should be private (static or _-prefixed)

16) Add a link to the release announcement to www.gtk.org which lives in 5) If this is a devel release, make sure that the docs for new symbols
the gtk-web cvs module. are in good shape. Look at the -unused.txt files and add stuff found
there to the corresponding -sections.txt file. Make sure that all
new symbols have proper Since: tags, and that there is an index
in the main -docs.sgml for the next stable version.

11) Now you've got the tarball. Check that the tarball size looks
reasonable compared to previous releases. If the size goes down
a lot, likely the docs went missing for some reason. If the size
goes up by a lot, something else may be wrong.
11) Tag the release. The command for doing that looks like
svn cp svn+ssh://matthiasc@svn.gnome.org/svn/gtk+/branches/gtk-2-12 \
svn+ssh://matthiasc@svn.gnome.org/svn/gtk+/tags/GTK_2_12_10
12) Bump the version number in configure.in and commit this change
with a ChangeLog entry
13) Upload the tarball to master.gnome.org and run install-module to transfer
it to download.gnome.org. If you don't have an account on master.gnome.org,
find someone who can do it for you. The command for this looks like
scp gtk+-2.12.10.tar.gz matthiasc@master.gnome.org:
ssh matthiasc@master.gnome.org
install-module gtk+-2.12.10.tar.gz
14) Get the bz2 tarball and the .md5sum files back from master.gnome.org
You can probably also create it locally, but I've experienced md5
mismatches when doing so
15) Go to the gnome-announce list archives, find the last announce message,
create a new message in the same form, replacing version numbers,
commentary at the top about "what this release is about" and the
Summary of changes.
16) Send it to gnome-announce-list, gtk-list, gtk-app-devel-list and
gtk-devel-list. Set reply-to to gnome-hackers.
17) Add a link to the release announcement to www.gtk.org which lives
in the gtk-web cvs module.
