9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas SlebodnikPreparing a bind9 release

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas SlebodnikHere's a rough outline of the steps to follow in preparing a new bind9

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnikrelease.

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik - Do a "cvs update" to check that all changes have been committed.

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik - Update the README file

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik - Send the new README file to webteam@nominum.com at least 48

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik hours prior to the planned release and ask them to prepare

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik the web pages for the new version.

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik - Verify that the file "version" contains the correct version

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik number (it should have been incremented after the

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik previous release)

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik - Update the lib/*/api files as needed. See the libtool

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik info file for information about what the various numbers mean.

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik - If building from a relese branch, check that any important

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik bug fixes made on the mainline since the last release have

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik been pulled up. You can do this by comparing the CHANGES

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik files using the util/check-pullups.pl script. For example,

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik running the script from a mainline tree:

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik

9917c138d9a270deb5820915384fbde751190c2aLukas Slebodnik perl util/check-pullups.pl CHANGES ../9.1/CHANGES

This will list all bug fixes on the mainline that are not

on the 9.1 release branch.

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

a clean build and test status for all supported systems.

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

produce compile errors.

- Regenerate the documentation by running "make man" (mainline)

or by running genhtml.sh in doc/arm (9.1 release branch)

and commit it. 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

- 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_1rc7 bind9" (release branch).

- Build the release kit. This procedure differs

between the 9.0 release branch and later versions.

On the 9.0 release branch,

cd <temporary directory>

cvs export -r v9_0_0rc7 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-9.1.2.tar.gz -u 0x51BAB2ED

chmod 644 bind-9.1.2.tar.gz.asc

- Verify the PGP signature:

pgp bind-9.1.2.tar.gz.asc bind-9.1.2.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=9.1.2

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
