The release criteria for libdrm is essentially "if you need a release,
|
|
make one". There is no designated release engineer or maintainer.
|
|
Anybody is free to make a release if there's a certain feature or bug
|
|
fix they need in a released version of libdrm.
|
|
|
|
When new ioctl definitions are merged into drm-next, we will add
|
|
support to libdrm, at which point we typically create a new release.
|
|
However, this is up to whoever is driving the feature in question.
|
|
|
|
Follow these steps to release a new version of libdrm:
|
|
|
|
1) Bump the version number in meson.build. We seem to have settled for
|
|
2.4.x as the versioning scheme for libdrm, so just bump the micro
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
2) Run `ninja -C builddir/ dist` to generate the tarballs.
|
|
Make sure that the version number of the tarball name in
|
|
builddir/meson-dist/ matches the number you bumped to. Move that
|
|
tarball to the libdrm repo root for the release script to pick up.
|
|
|
|
3) Push the updated master branch with the bumped version number:
|
|
|
|
git push origin master
|
|
|
|
assuming the remote for the upstream libdrm repo is called origin.
|
|
|
|
4) Use the release.sh script from the xorg/util/modular repo to
|
|
upload the tarballs to the freedesktop.org download area and
|
|
create an announce email template. The script takes one argument:
|
|
the path to the libdrm checkout. So, if a checkout of modular is
|
|
at the same level than the libdrm repo:
|
|
|
|
./modular/release.sh libdrm
|
|
|
|
This copies the two tarballs to freedesktop.org and creates
|
|
libdrm-2.4.16.announce which has a detailed summary of the
|
|
changes, links to the tarballs, MD5 and SHA1 sums and pre-filled
|
|
out email headers. Fill out the blank between the email headers
|
|
and the list of changes with a brief message of what changed or
|
|
what prompted this release. Send out the email and you're done!
