| Notes to myself on all the steps to make for a Ninja release. |
| |
| Push new release branch: |
| 1. Consider sending a heads-up to the ninja-build mailing list first |
| 2. Make sure branches 'master' and 'release' are synced up locally |
| 3. update src/version.cc with new version (with ".git"), then |
| git commit -am 'mark this 1.5.0.git' |
| 4. git checkout release; git merge master |
| 5. fix version number in src/version.cc (it will likely conflict in the above) |
| 6. fix version in doc/manual.asciidoc (exists only on release branch) |
| 7. commit, tag, push (don't forget to push --tags) |
| git commit -am v1.5.0; git push origin release |
| git tag v1.5.0; git push --tags |
| # Push the 1.5.0.git change on master too: |
| git checkout master; git push origin master |
| 8. construct release notes from prior notes |

| |
| Release on github: |
| 1. https://github.com/blog/1547-release-your-software |
| Add binaries to https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases |
| |
| Make announcement on mailing list: |
| 1. copy old mail |
| |
| Update website: |
| 1. Make sure your ninja checkout is on the v1.5.0 tag |
| 2. Clone https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja-build.github.io |
| 3. In that repo, `./update-docs.sh` |
| 4. Update index.html with newest version and link to release notes |
| 5. git commit -m 'run update-docs.sh, 1.5.0 release' |
| 6. git push origin master |
