Initial revision
1997-04-02 03:18:28 +08:00
This fixes release procedure problems discovered whilst making the 1.5.2 release. * Makefile.am (cvs-dist): Because we check whether ChangeLog has been committed, this rule can't be run with uncommitted source so we can't run 'commit' and don't need to run 'make dist' a second time. Fix CVS tag as it should be "release-X" not "Release-X". (cvs_commit): New rule for the cvs-release chain that runs 'commit' (cvs-release): Depend on cvs-commit, depend on deltas instead of cvs-diff and xdelta. (cvs-diff): Removed, replaced with delta-diff. (delta-diff): Unpack and diff the old and new tarballs rather than using CVS, so we get a genuinely complete diff. (xdelta): Removed, replaced with delta-xdelta. (got-xdelta): New rule for improved reading. (delta-xdiff): Copied and cleaned up version of old xdelta rule. (deltas): Depends on delta-diff and delta-xdelta (make deltas). (cvs-news): Don't depend on timestamps, cvs-dist itself does now. (prev-tarball): This is the only place we need a LASTRELEASE check so copy the code here and remove the CHECK_RELEASE variable. (new-tarball): Check there's a new tarball (did cvs-dist work?) (FETCHFILES): Remove obsolete libltdl mentions. * README-alpha: Update CVS instructions as everything's changed on Savannah. (Release procedure): Update NEWS and ChangeLog after changing the version number (both times); Run 'make fetch' after running 'configure' (difficult to do it beforehand); Require 'commit' before 'make cvs-dist' as that checks ChangeLog is committed; 'make deltas' instead of 'cvs-diff' and 'xdelta', pass LASTRELEASE to make instead of OLDVERSION (and it's mandatory); Clean up uploading paragraph; Clearer announcement sending instruction; Removed ftp-upload@gnu.org mail as that's not necessary now; Make web page updating instructions a bit clearer; Add an instruction to update the manual for non-alphas. (Alpha release note template): Add a Subject; update CVS instructions. (Full release note template): Add a Subject; update CVS instructions. * configure.ac: Add dist-bzip2 to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE as we talk about bz2 files in our release announcements; remove old reference to OLDVERSION.

(cvs-diff): Removed, replaced with delta-diff. (delta-diff): Unpack and diff the old and new tarballs rather than using CVS, so we get a genuinely complete diff. (xdelta): Removed, replaced with delta-xdelta. (got-xdelta): New rule for improved reading. (delta-xdiff): Copied and cleaned up version of old xdelta rule. (deltas): Depends on delta-diff and delta-xdelta (make deltas). (cvs-news): Don't depend on timestamps, cvs-dist itself does now. (prev-tarball): This is the only place we need a LASTRELEASE check so copy the code here and remove the CHECK_RELEASE variable. (new-tarball): Check there's a new tarball (did cvs-dist work?) (FETCHFILES): Remove obsolete libltdl mentions. * README-alpha: Update CVS instructions as everything's changed on Savannah. (Release procedure): Update NEWS and ChangeLog after changing the version number (both times); Run 'make fetch' after running 'configure' (difficult to do it beforehand); Require 'commit' before 'make cvs-dist' as that checks ChangeLog is committed; 'make deltas' instead of 'cvs-diff' and 'xdelta', pass LASTRELEASE to make instead of OLDVERSION (and it's mandatory); Clean up uploading paragraph; Clearer announcement sending instruction; Removed ftp-upload@gnu.org mail as that's not necessary now; Make web page updating instructions a bit clearer; Add an instruction to update the manual for non-alphas. (Alpha release note template): Add a Subject; update CVS instructions. (Full release note template): Add a Subject; update CVS instructions. * configure.ac: Add dist-bzip2 to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE as we talk about bz2 files in our release announcements; remove old reference to OLDVERSION.

This fixes release procedure problems discovered whilst making the 1.5.2 release. * Makefile.am (cvs-dist): Because we check whether ChangeLog has been committed, this rule can't be run with uncommitted source so we can't run 'commit' and don't need to run 'make dist' a second time. Fix CVS tag as it should be "release-X" not "Release-X". (cvs_commit): New rule for the cvs-release chain that runs 'commit' (cvs-release): Depend on cvs-commit, depend on deltas instead of cvs-diff and xdelta.

Subject: GNU Libtool @VERSION@ released.
* README-alpha: Add some release not templates for inspiration and consistency at release time.
2002-10-25 11:28:43 +08:00
The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of GNU Libtool
@VERSION@.
GNU Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a
consistent, portable interface. GNU Libtool ships with GNU libltdl,
which hides the comlexity of loading dynamic runtime libraries
(modules) behind a consistent, portable interface.
This release has @SUMMARY_OF_IMPROVEMENTS_SINCE_LAST_RELEASE_ON_THIS_BRANCH@.

(cvs-diff): Generate the gpg signature files for the diff. (xdelta): New rule for generating the xdelta diffs and associated gpg signature files. (cvs-release): New rule to do all of the above, if you don't mind typing your gpg passphrase over and over again. :-) (fetch): New rule inspired by automakes similar rule for updating files maintained outside the project. * config/config.guess, config/config.sub: Updated with the new fetch rule.

This release was bootstrapped with @BOOTSTRAP_TOOLS_WITH_VERSIONS@,
but is useable with @COMPATIBLE_AUTOTOOL_VERSIONS@ in your own
projects.
Alternatively, you can fetch the unbootstrapped sourcecode from
anonymous cvs by using the following commands (just hit return when
you are prompted for the password):
