TO RELEASE WGET X.Y.Z:

1) update PO files from the TP

cd po
../util/update_po_files.sh


2) generate tarball

from the trunk:

cd ~/tmp
~/code/svn/wget/trunk/util/dist-wget --force-version X.Y.Z

from a branch:

cd ~/tmp
~/code/svn/wget/branches/X.Y/util/dist-wget --force-version X.Y.Z -b branches/X.Y


3) test the tarball


4) set new version number "X.Y.Z" on the repository


5) tag the sources in subversion

from the trunk:

svn copy -m "Tagging release X.Y.Z" http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/trunk http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/tags/WGET_X_Y_Z/

from a branch:

svn copy -m "Tagging release X.Y.Z" http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/branches/X.Y/ http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/tags/WGET_X_Y_Z/


6) upload the tarball on gnu.org

TARBALL = wget-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
gpg --default-key 7B2FD4B0 --detach-sign -b --output ${TARBALL}.sig $TARBALL
echo "directory: wget" > ${TARBALL}.directive
gpg --default-key 7B2FD4B0 --clearsign ${TARBALL}.directive

lftp ftp://ftp-upload.gnu.org/incoming/ftp
put wget-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
put wget-X.Y.Z.tar.gz.sig
put wget-X.Y.Z.tar.gz.directive.asc
