c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariqPreparing a bind9 release

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariqHere's a rough outline of the steps to follow in preparing a new bind9

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariqrelease.

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq - Update the README file

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq - Send the new README file to webteam@nominum.com at least 48

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq hours prior to the planned release and ask them to prepare

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq the web pages for the new version.

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq - Verify that the file "version" contains the correct version

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq number (it should have been incremented after the

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq previous release)

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq - Update the lib/*/api files as needed. See the libtool

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq info file for information about what the various numbers mean.

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq - Do a "cvs update" to check that all changes have been committed.

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq - Check that http://status.isc.org/bind9/bind9.html shows

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq a clean build and test status for all supported systems.

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq - Check that running "make all_tests" in bin/tests does not

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq produce compile errors.

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq - Regenerate the .html files in doc/arm by running genhtml.sh

c7158ae983f5a04c4a998f468ecefba6d23ba721tariq and check them in. Note that not all machines have the

necessary XML tools, but at least trebuchet and Scanner's

machine do.

- Verify that the documents in doc/misc are up-to-date.

- Update the copyrights. According to tale:

Go to the root of the source tree.

The scripts need to be run from there; they reference the util

subdirectory internally.

$ make distclean

... [I prefer to check out a fresh source tree --gson]

$ perl util/merge_copyrights

$ diff util/copyrights util/newcopyrights

... examine output, particularly any files with the "?" type, and

... then edit util/newcopyrights if necessary

$ mv util/newcopyrights util/copyrights

$ cvs ci -m'merge_copyrights' util/copyrights

$ perl util/update_copyrights < util/copyrights

$ cvs diff

... examine output, edit as necessary. mail me about anything that

... the script should have been able to do itself. :-)

$ cvs ci -m'update_copyrights'

- Announce a CVS freeze if doing a beta release from the mainline,

or stop doing pullups if building from a release branch.

- Run util/altbuild.sh. This is to make sure that

builds using libtool, separate source/object directories, and other

obscure build options work. This script may need some hacking if run

on anything other than NetBSD. Save the output (it's big) and look

for error and warning messages.

cd $top_of_mainline_tree

sh util/altbuild.sh v9_0

or

cd $top_of_9_1_tree

sh util/altbuild.sh v9_1_1rc4

- If you can (= your system is similar enough to the one Tale is using),

check the header files for cruft by running the command

[ This step is quite imperfect and should probably be skipped

for now -- Tale ]

find lib -name '*.h' -print | xargs perl util/check-includes.pl

- Ensure that the JPNIC patch applies cleanly:

If you don't have the "iconv" library, you need to get it from

http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/packages-libiconv.html and install it.

$ sh util/sanitize_all.sh

$ patch -p0 < contrib/idn/mdnkit/patch/bind9/patch.most > patch.out 2>&1

$ egrep Hunk patch.out

All hunks should have applied successfully with no offset or fuzz.

If all succeeded but some were offset or had fuzz, the patch will be

regenerated at the end of this stage.

$ cd contrib/idn/mdnkit

[ Sample on netbsd ... ]

$ CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include ./configure '--with-iconv=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv'

$ make

$ cd ../../.. ; : cd back to top level

$ cp configure configure.orig

$ autoconf

$ ./configure

$ make

... should cleanly compile

$ make distclean

$ rm -rf /tmp/mdn

$ mkdir -p /tmp/mdn/{lib,include}

$ mdn=`pwd`/contrib/idn/mdnkit

$ cp $mdn/lib/.libs/libmdn.so /tmp/mdn/lib

$ cp -r $mdn/include/mdn /tmp/mdn/include

$ ./configure --with-mdn=/tmp/mdn --with-iconv="-L/usr/local/lib -liconv"

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/tmp/mdn/lib:/usr/lib make

... should cleanly compile

[ Some tests will be added to bin/tests/system to validate operation. ]

Generate a fresh copy of the diffs:

$ patchd=$mdn/patch/bind9

$ awk '/^\+\+\+ / {print $2}' $patchd/patch.most |

while read i; do

diff -u2 $i.orig $i

done > $patchd/patch.most.new

$ cvs diff -u2 configure > $patchd/patch.configure

$ mv $patchd/patch.most.new $patchd

$ cvs ci -ko $patchd/patch.*

- Add a marker line like " --- 9.0.0rc1 released ---"

to the CHANGES file.

- Tag the CVS source tree with the final tag, as in

"cvs rtag v9_0_0rc1 bind9" (mainline) or

"cvs rtag -r v9_1 v9_1_1rc4 bind9" (release branch).

- Build the release kit. This procedure differs

between the 9.0 release branch and the mainline.

On the release branch,

cd <temporary directory>

cvs export -r v9_0_0rc6 bind9

cd bind9

sh configure

make kit

On the 9.1 release branch or mainline, use the

"util/kit.sh" script.

- Build bind9 from the kit on at least one machine

and test it. Run it as a caching name server.

If you can, try resolving some IPv6 addresses and

doing queries over IPv6.

- If problems are found at this stage, fix them, move the

release tag up using "rtag -F", and respin the kit.

- Sign the distribution files with the ISC signing PGP key

and fix the permissions on the signature file:

pgp -sba bind-9.1.1rc4.tar.gz -u 0x51BAB2ED

chmod 644 bind-9.1.1rc4.tar.gz.asc

- Verify the PGP signature:

pgp bind-9.1.1rc4.tar.gz.asc bind-9.1.1rc4.tar.gz

(Look for the words "Good signature" in the output.)

- Prepare a release announcement based on the previous one.

- Copy the distribution and PGP signature files to the FTP site:

ver=9.1.1rc4

ssh -n isrv4.pa.vix.com "mkdir /udir/ftp/isc/bind9/$ver"

scp bind-$ver.tar.gz bind-$ver.tar.gz.asc \

isrv4.pa.vix.com:/udir/ftp/isc/bind9/$ver

- Download using FTP (or Netscape) using the URLs in the release

announcement and verify the PGP signature again

- Increment the version in the file "version"

- Resume doing pullups

- Announce the release on bind-announce@isc.org
