This file tries to describe the current Lustre release process.

Current version is written for a Lustre administrator

and may certainly be only readable for them.

Lustre releases should be done with the following steps:

1) Edit lustrec/configure.ac

   and bump the version to the right number with

   AC_INIT([lustrec], [1.3], [ploc@garoche.net])

   AC_SUBST(VERSION_CODENAME, "Xia/Zhong-Kang")

3) commit the modified files

   lustrec/configure.ac

   with a meaningful comment saying you are preparing a Lustre version

4) Do a fresh checkout somewhere

    Build lustre from your pristine source tree

    git clone https://cavale.enseeiht.fr/git/lustrec lustrec-1.3

    cd lustre-1.3

    autoconf

    ./configure

    make

5) (optional) do any testing you usually do.

6) Tag lustre tree with appropriate version (inside source tree)

     git tag lustrec-1.3-Xia-Zhong-Kang

     git push --tags 

7) Make lustre packages

    git archive --format tgz -o $HOME/lustrec-1.3-Xia-Zhong-Kang-src.tgz --prefix lustrec/ master

    cd $HOME

    tar xvf lustrec-1.3-Xia-Zhong-Kang-src.tgz

   cd lustrec

   autoconf

   cd ..

   tar zcvf lustrec-1.3-Xia-Zhong-Kang-src.tgz lustrec

8) (optional) Tests your packages or ask for help to test them

9) put your package in

    https://cavale.enseeiht.fr/redmine/projects/lustrec/files

10) Advertise your freshly release package on every social network you belong to.

You are right this process IS painful and should be automated (a lot...)

be sure we are working on it :))

12) Re-edit lustre/configure.ac 

  and bump the version to the the next number with svn

  #AC_INIT([lustrec], [1.4-gitversion], [ploc@garoche.net])

  #AC_SUBST(VERSION_CODENAME, "Xia/Xiang-dev")
