Release process

1. Update the ChangeLog and cherry-pick the change into trunk.
2. Make sure the library version has been increased for all libraries that had changes / bug fixes! Don't forget to increase the minor for every library that had new features added and the patch level for every library that had bug fixes!
3. Change the version in AC_INIT and the BUNDLE_VERSION in configure.ac and commit. This commit should have the ${version}-release tag!
4. Push and make sure the tag propagates to Git as well.
5. Run fossil up ${version}-release and run fossil clean -x -v, then ./autogen.sh && ./configure. Don't forget this, or the version might be wrong!
6. Generate and sign tarballs using make release.
7. Extract objfw-${version}.tar.gz and objfw-docs-${version}.tar.gz as well as objfw-${previousVersion}.tar.gz and objfw-docs-${previousVersion}.tar.gz. Then diff the current against the previous version and check nothing unexpected is in there.
8. Upload the tarballs and their signatures.
9. Extract the new documentation and put it here.
10. Update the LATEST symlink.
11. Update the Releases page.
12. Update the News page.
13. Announce the new release on the Fediverse.
14. Announce the new release in the Matrix room and change the topic to include the new release.

Distributions

Repology is great for tracking what distribution is at what version, though it is neither exhaustive nor always update to date.

pkgsrc

In devel/objfw:

1. Edit Makefile to increase version.
2. Run make makesum to update distinfo. Check it is correct.
3. Run make package.
4. Run make print-PLIST >PLIST to update the PLIST. Look at the diff and fix any custom PLIST entries that this reverted. Pay attention to what is already in the other PLIST.* files!
5. Commit (include the change log in the commit message) and run make cce.

Fedora
