c651f15b30f1dae5cc2f00878fb5da5b3a35a468Mark AndrewsPreparing a bind9 release
9c49c394b4218cc9c743a372a8fcfb787f5ea8caAndreas GustafssonHere's a rough outline of the steps to follow in preparing a new bind9
9c49c394b4218cc9c743a372a8fcfb787f5ea8caAndreas Gustafsson - Update the README file
dafcb997e390efa4423883dafd100c975c4095d6Mark Andrews - Update doc/misc/options, verify that doc/misc/dnssec is up-to-date
dafcb997e390efa4423883dafd100c975c4095d6Mark Andrews - Verify that the file "version" contains the correct version
dafcb997e390efa4423883dafd100c975c4095d6Mark Andrews number (it should have been incremented after the
dafcb997e390efa4423883dafd100c975c4095d6Mark Andrews previous release)
9c49c394b4218cc9c743a372a8fcfb787f5ea8caAndreas Gustafsson - If this is a final release (not a beta), update the
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein lib/*/api files as needed. See the libtool info file
9c49c394b4218cc9c743a372a8fcfb787f5ea8caAndreas Gustafsson for information about what the various numbers mean.
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein - Check that http://status.isc.org/bind9/bind9.html shows
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein a clean build and test status for all supported systems.
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein - Check that "make all_tests" does not produce compile errors.
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein - Make sure that the most recent version of the ARM has been
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein checked in. Look for any obvious broken links in the
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein .html files. If "fgrep .HTML *.html" produces output,
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein there is a problem.
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein - Update the copyrights. According to tale:
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein Go to the root of the source tree.
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein The scripts need to be run from there; they reference the util
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein subdirectory internally.
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein $ make distclean
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein ... [I prefer to check out a fresh source tree --gson]
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein ... examine output, particularly any files with the "?" type, and
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein ... then edit util/newcopyrights if necessary
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein $ cvs ci -m'merge_copyrights' util/copyrights
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein ... examine output, edit as necessary. mail me about anything that
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein ... the script should have been able to do itself. :-)
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein $ cvs ci -m'update_copyrights'
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein - Announce a CVS pool freeze on bind-dev
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein - Run util/altbuild.sh (from the mainline). This is to make sure that
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein builds using libtool, separate source/object directories, and other
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein obscure build options work. Save the output (it's big) and look
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein for error and warning messages.
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein cd $top_of_mainline_tree

268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein find lib -name '*.h' -print | xargs perl util/check-includes.pl
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein - On a system using gcc, do a "make install" and then
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein - On selected platforms, do more detailed tests:
