Release management of SigScheme
===============================

Acknowledgement
---------------

A part of this document is based on
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/uim/2005-November/001381.html[Release
Manual for uim (draft)] contributed to http://code.google.com/p/uim/[uim
project] by Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven. Thank you for cooperation.


Versioning scheme
-----------------

A SigScheme version number is built up as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------
  major.minor.patchlevel
----------------------------------------------------------------

The 'minor' number is incremented for every stable release. As an example:
1.2.3 will become 1.3.0 upon a new release.

There's no limit to the 'minor' version's number, it will continue past 9 with
10, in other words: after release 1.9.2 we will see release 1.10.0.

The 'patchlevel' number will only be increased in the case of a bug fix or a
security fix.

There is no separate versioning for unstable versions, this is simply the
source control's trunk revision with development snapshots being called
`sigscheme-snapshot-YYYYMMDD`. With `YYYYMMDD` standing for the year in four,
the month in two, and the day in two digits when the snapshot was taken.

And no 'alpha', 'beta' or 'RC' versions are released for now since the source
codes are still drastically changing and no profit can be obtained from a
feature freeze.


Release procedures
------------------

Documents update
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Update `RELNOTE` and `NEWS`.

Declaration
~~~~~~~~~~~

Let all SigScheme developers know that a release is emerging, and make sure
that no developer is having a problem on the release.

Versioning
~~~~~~~~~~

Confirm the version number written in `AC_INIT()` of the `configure.in` and
SSCM_VERSION_* of sigscheme.h prior to a release.

And do not forget updating `src/libtool-version.mk` if `libsscm` ABI has been
altered from previous version.

Finally, update LIBGCROOTS_URL in `make-dist.sh`.

Test
~~~~

Make all tests passed.

----------------------------------------------------------------
$ ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-conf=full
$ make check
----------------------------------------------------------------

Tagging
~~~~~~~

A release must be branched and tagged for development management.

----------------------------------------------------------------
$ git branch sigscheme-x.y <start-point>
$ git push origin sigscheme-x.y

$ git tag -a sigscheme-x.y.z <commit on sigscheme-x.y>
$ git push --tags
----------------------------------------------------------------

If the release is a snapshot, tag as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------
$ git tag -a sigscheme-snapshot-YYYYMMDD
$ git push --tags
----------------------------------------------------------------

Packaging
~~~~~~~~~

----------------------------------------------------------------
$ cd /tmp
$ git clone https://code.google.com/p/uim.sigscheme/
$ git checkout sigscheme-x.y.z
$ ./make-dist.sh
----------------------------------------------------------------

It produces:

----------------------------------------------------------------
sigscheme-x.y.z.tar.gz
sigscheme-x.y.z.tar.bz2
sigscheme-x.y.z.sum
----------------------------------------------------------------

Publishing and announcements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Upload the file by the official uploading script:

  http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/ScriptedUploads

Don't forget adding appropriate tags as follows.

Final release:
----------------------------------------------------------------
  googlecode-upload.py -u yamakenz -p sigscheme \
                       -s 'SigScheme 0.8.0' -l 'Stable,Featured' \
                       sigscheme-0.8.0.tar.bz2
----------------------------------------------------------------

Alpha or beta release:
----------------------------------------------------------------
  googlecode-upload.py -u yamakenz -p sigscheme \
                       -s 'SigScheme 0.8.0-alpha' -l 'Unstable' \
                       sigscheme-0.8.0-alpha.tar.bz2
----------------------------------------------------------------

Snapshot release:
----------------------------------------------------------------
  googlecode-upload.py -u yamakenz -p sigscheme \
                       -s 'SigScheme trunk-snapshot20070703' -l 'Snapshot' \
                       sigscheme-trunk-snapshot20070703.tar.bz2
----------------------------------------------------------------

And untag 'Featured' from previous final release files by the web
interface.

Then update the web pages.

   http://code.google.com/p/sigscheme/
   http://code.google.com/p/sigscheme/wiki/SigScheme
   http://code.google.com/p/sigscheme/wiki/Download

Update 'SigScheme' page first and copy it into the project description
(homepage).

<obsolete>
The checksums of the files must not directly be written into the
anyone-rewritable wikipage, to prevent spoofings. It should be a link to the
release announce which contain the checksum information.
</obsolete>

And send a message to {sigscheme-ja,uim-en,uim-ja}@googlegroups.com
