This file contains a checklist of the steps that must be
|
|
taken when releasing a new version of Mercury.
|
|
|
|
1. Update the version number in
|
|
README
|
|
INSTALL (various places)
|
|
bindist/bindist.README
|
|
bindist/bindist.INSTALL
|
|
bindist/bindist.configure.in
|
|
configure.in
|
|
library/library.m
|
|
and update the NEWS and RELEASE_NOTES files. The RELEASE_NOTES file
|
|
should include the contents of the NEWS file.
|
|
|
|
2. Checkout a fresh copy, and do
|
|
autoconf
|
|
mercury_cv_low_tag_bits=2 sh configure
|
|
mmake MMAKEFLAGS='MCFLAGS="-O5 --num-tag-bits 2" -j4' tar
|
|
|
|
3. Fix the tar file so that it unpacks into the directory `mercury-<version>'
|
|
rather than `mercury'.
|
|
|
|
4. Test it on lots of architectures.
|
|
|
|
5. Copy the gzipped tar file to ~fjh/www_public/mercury, and
|
|
to the turiel ftp site ftp://turiel.cs.mu.oz.au/pub/mercury.
|
|
Email kostis@cs.sunysb.edu (Konstantinos Sagonas) to tell him
|
|
to make copies of it on ftp://ftp.cs.sunysb.edu/pub/XSB/mercury
|
|
respectively.
|
|
The mirror on ftp://ftp.csd.uu.se/pub/Mercury is automated.
|
|
|
|
6. Email mercury-announce@cs.mu.oz.au and cross-post announcement to
|
|
comp.lang.misc, comp.lang.prolog, comp.lang.functional, comp.object.logic,
|
|
and for major releases also to comp.compilers and gnu.announce.
|
|
|
|
7. Update the Mercury WWW home page (/local/dept/www/mercury/mercury.html).
