The point of this document is to describe all steps required to make a proper release of the yubikey-personalization project.
Making a release requires the following packages:
make, git, gnupg, git2cl
which can be installed (under Ubuntu) by running:
sudo apt-get install make git gnupg git2cl
-
Make sure the doc/ sub-directory uses the latest revision. Confirm with: cd doc && git checkout master && git pull && git diff
-
Make sure the version number in Makefile has been incremented.
-
Make sure NEWS describes all changes since the last release. Use https://github.com/Yubico/yubikey-val/commits/master to review.
-
Change the '(unreleased)' part in NEWS to '(released 20XX-YY-ZZ)' and commit that with a note 'Version Q.P'.
-
Run 'make release'.
-
Increment version number in Makefile and add a NEWS template for the next release.
