<H2>Making a New Mesa Release</H2>
<p>
These are the instructions for making a new Mesa release.
</p>
+<H3>Get latest source files</H3>
<p>
-Prerequisites (later versions may work):
-</p>
-<ul>
-<li> autoconf 2.50
-<li> automake 1.4-p2
-<li> libtool 1.4
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-Be sure to do a "cvs update -d ." in the Mesa directory to
-get all the latest files.
+Use "cvs update -dAP " to get the latest Mesa files from CVS.
</p>
-<p>
-Update the version definitions in src/version.h
-</p>
+<H3>Verify and update version info</H3>
<p>
Create/edit the docs/RELNOTES-X.Y file to document what's new in the release.
-Edit the docs/VERSIONS file too.
+Add the new RELNOTES-X.Y file to <a href="relnotes.html">relnotes.html</a>.
+Update the docs/VERSIONS file too.
</p>
<p>
-Edit Make-config and change the MESA_MAJOR and/or MESA_MINOR versions.
+Edit configs/default and change the MESA_MAJOR, MESA_MINOR and MESA_TINY
+version numbers.
</p>
<p>
-Edit the GNU configure stuff to change versions numbers as needed:
-Update the version string (second argument) in the line
-"AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(Mesa, 3.3)" in the configure.in file.
+Make sure the values in src/mesa/main/version.h is correct.
</p>
<p>
-Remove the leading `dnl' from the line "dnl AM_MAINTAINER_MODE".
+Edit the top-level Makefile and verify that DIRECTORY, LIB_NAME and
+DEMO_NAME are correct.
</p>
<p>
-Verify the version numbers near the top of configure.in
+Update the docs/news.html file and docs/contents.html files.
</p>
<p>
-Run "fixam -f" to disable automatic dependency tracking.
+Check in all updates to CVS.
</p>
<p>
-Run the bootstrap script to generate the configure script.
+Tag the CVS files with the release name (in the form <b>mesa_X_Y</b>).
</p>
-<p>
-Edit Makefile.X11 and verify DIRECTORY is set correctly. The Mesa
-sources must be in that directory (or there must be a symbolic link).
-</p>
+<H3>Make the tarballs</H3>
<p>
-Edit Makefile.X11 and verify that LIB_NAME and DEMO_NAME are correct.
-If it's a beta release, be sure the bump up the beta release number.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-cp Makefile.X11 to Makefile so that the old-style Mesa makefiles
-still work. ./configure will overwrite it if that's what the user runs.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Make a symbolic link from $(DIRECTORY) to Mesa. For example,
-ln -s Mesa Mesa-3.3 This is needed in order to make a correct
-tar file in the next step.
+Make a symbolic link from $(DIRECTORY) to 'Mesa'. For example,
+ln -s Mesa Mesa-6.3
+This is needed in order to make a correct tar file in the next step.
</p>
<p>
Make the distribution files. From inside the Mesa directory:
<pre>
- make -f Makefile.X11 lib_tar
- make -f Makefile.X11 demo_tar
- make -f Makefile.X11 lib_zip
- make -f Makefile.X11 demo_zip
+ make tarballs
</pre>
+<p>
+After the tarballs are created, the md5 checksums for the files will
+be computed.
+Add them to the docs/news.html file.
+</p>
+
<p>
Copy the distribution files to a temporary directory, unpack them,
compile everything, and run some demos to be sure everything works.
</p>
+<H3>Update the website and announce the release</H3>
<p>
-Upload the *.tar.gz and *.zip files to ftp.mesa3d.org
+Follow the directions on SourceForge for creating a new "release" and
+uploading the tarballs.
</p>
<p>
-Update the web site.
+Update the web site by copying the docs/ directory's files to
+/home/users/b/br/brianp/mesa-www/htdocs/
