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)
|
|
Mmake
|
|
bindist/Mmake
|
|
configure.in
|
|
library/library.m
|
|
and update the NEWS, RELEASE_NOTES, and HISTORY files.
|
|
The RELEASE_NOTES file should include the contents of the NEWS file.
|
|
The HISTORY file should include the NEWS files from previous releases.
|
|
|
|
2. Checkout a fresh copy, and do
|
|
|
|
touch Mmake.params &&
|
|
autoconf &&
|
|
mercury_cv_low_tag_bits=2 \
|
|
mercury_cv_bits_per_word=32 \
|
|
mercury_cv_unboxed_floats=no \
|
|
sh configure --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR &&
|
|
mmake MMAKEFLAGS='EXTRA_MCFLAGS="-O5 --opt-space" -j6' tar
|
|
|
|
This step should be done automatically by tools/test_mercury every night,
|
|
so you should be able to just grab the mercury-latest-stable.tar.gz
|
|
file from /home/mercury/public/testing/test_dirs/murlibobo.
|
|
|
|
3. Test it on lots of architectures.
|
|
|
|
Make sure you test that all the programs in the `samples' directory
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
4. Build binary distributions for those architectures.
|
|
|
|
5. Copy the gzipped tar files 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).
