Making a new release
Making a clean tarball
Authors and packagers should work on making a clean tarball, which has no CVS folders, no Makefiles, no .deps folders, etc... That kind of clean is needed when uploading sources such as for debian, and can be obtained thanks to make distcheck, with automake.
Notifying the package maintainers and websites
Normally first the source and Windows releases are made. After verifying everything works with several people for at least a day, CVS will be tagged with the new release in a format similar to TMW_0_0_18. At that point the release is official and the package maintainers should get started on producing their package.
The following people are responsible for updating their packages:
- Debian/Ubuntu - Bertram
- Slackware - Platyna
- MacOS X - Nayr
- Arch Linux - Bjørn Lindeijer
The following people are responsible for updating the respective websites:
