## These are the steps you need to take to do a new octave-forge release.
## You will need:
## * cvs2cl.pl from http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/
## * perl and the texinfo toolchain
## * autoconf
##
## You should also have the following in your .bashrc:
##
## export OFHOME=octave.sf.net:/home/groups/o/oc/octave/htdocs
##
## 0) http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2888&atid=102888
## http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2888&atid=202888
## http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2888&atid=302888
##
## Try to close out all outstanding issues.
##
## 1) cvs -q update -dP
##
## Make sure you haven't forgetten to post anything. Indexing will
## be more reliable if you don't have extra files that you don't
## intend to post. You may want to start with a fresh copy
## of the repository in a separate directory.
##
## 2) ./configure; make; make check
##
## Make sure it builds on your machine at least.
##
## 3) cvs2cl.pl -f changes
##
## Generate a list of changes. Use it to update RELEASE_NOTES with
## a summary of changes. Set the date in the RELEASE_NOTES file.
##
## 4) cvs commit RELEASE_NOTES
##
## Post the new notes.
##
## 3) admin/get_contents
##
## Update README and the developer's guide. Follow the instructions
## for updating the web and CVS.
##
## 4) admin/get_authors
##
## Verify copyrights. Look at the AUTHORS file to see which names
## have been butcherd and update the corresponding sources.
##
## 5) admin/make_index
##
## Verify documentation and licenses. To update the web docs, use the
## following commands:
##
## tar czf index.tar.gz index
## scp index.tar.gz $OFHOME
## ssh octave.sf.net
## cd /home/groups/o/oc/octave/htdocs
## rm -rf index
## tar xzf index.tar.gz
## chmod -R g+w index
##
## 6) cvs -q update -dP
##
## Make sure you've logged all changes to licenses and doc strings.
##
## 7) ./release.sh
##
## This is the actual release step. It tags the CVS tree and generates
## a release tarball.
##
## 8) https://sf.net/project/admin/qrs.php?package_id=2841&group_id=2888
##
## Log in to your source forge account and announce the release of the
## package. Cut and paste the top two sections of RELEASE_NOTES. Use
## the Upload button to add the new tarball
##
## octave-forge-yyyy.mm.dd.tar.gz
##
## 9) sources@octave.org, octave-dev@lists.sf.net
##
## Announce the new release on the appropriate mailing lists.
##
## 10) ./cvs-tree > afunclist.html; scp afunclist.html $OFHOME
##
## Update the alphabetical list (do we still need this??)
##
## Done.
# base name of the project
PROJECT=octave-forge
# use Ryyyy-mm-dd as the tag for revision yyyy.mm.dd
TAG=R`date +%Y-%m-%d`

# generate the updated ChangeLog and version command
