| Generating releases from git a very simple process; |
| |
| 1) Edit the file "Makefile". Changing the "VERSION" line to the new version. |
| 2) Do a "git commit" just for the version number change. |
| 3) Then do a "make test-archive". |
| That will make a file in the current directory gnu-efi-$VERSION.tar.bz2 , |
| with its top level directory gnu-efi-$VERSION/ and the source tree under that. |
| |
| Once you've tested that and you're sure it's what you want to release, |
| 4) Do "make archive", which will tag a release in git and generate a |
| final tarball from it. |
| |
| You then push to the archive, being sure to include the tag: |
| 5) "git push origin master:master --tags" |
| |
| And upload the archive wherever it's supposed to go. |
