1 | Release instructions for dual-life ExtUtils::CBuilder |
2 | ||
3 | 1. Check out a tag/commit corresponding to the release point. This | |
4 | should generally be a Perl release (dev or stable). Make sure | |
5 | your working tree is clear of extraneous files. E.g. | |
6 | ||
7 | $ git checkout v5.15.8 | |
8 | $ git clean -dxf | |
9 | ||
10 | 2. Rsync the ExtUtils-CBuilder directory to a temporary directory for | |
11 | release. E.g. | |
12 | ||
13 | $ rsync -av --delete dist/ExtUtils-CBuilder /tmp | |
14 | ||
15 | 3. Change to the temp directory | |
16 | ||
17 | $ cd /tmp/ExtUtils-CBuilder | |
18 | ||
19 | 4. Look at the Changes file. If it was not kept up to date in blead, | |
20 | take a minute to feel sad, then update it. Remember to copy the | |
21 | changes back to blead later. | |
22 | ||
23 | 5. Configure and then make a MANIFEST | |
24 | ||
25 | $ perl Makefile.PL | |
26 | $ make manifest | |
27 | ||
28 | 6. Build a release directory and examine its contents, paying particular | |
29 | attention to the MANIFEST and the META files | |
30 | ||
31 | $ make distdir | |
32 | ||
33 | 7. Test the release directory | |
34 | ||
35 | $ make disttest | |
36 | ||
37 | 8. If all looks good, create a tarball and upload it to CPAN (maybe | |
38 | install CPAN::Uploader or an equivalent tool) | |
39 | ||
40 | $ make dist | |
41 | $ cpan_upload ExtUtils-CBuilder-X.YYYZZZ.tar.gz | |

43 | 9. Update Porting/Maintainers.pl in the Perl repo with the new tarball |
44 | name for ExtUtils-CBuilder. | |
45 | ||
46 | 10. If you updated Changes, copy that back to blead now | |
47 | ||
48 | 11. Commit any changes to blead (or submit it as a patch if you don't have a | |
49 | commit bit) |
