This is an explanation of how to make a release for Emms. Emms is developed at Savannah (https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emms/) and distributed via Emacs ELPA (https://elpa.gnu.org/). * Increase the version number in emms.el (variable, elpa header) * Update NEWS * Update the manual, then copy compiled emms.info to root directory * Update website (cvs commit -m "update website" index.html) * Tag release in VCS, for example `git tag -a 4.2 -m "4.2"' * Push tag to VCS, for example `git push --tags origin "4.2"' * Push version updates to VCS * If automatic syncronization is enabled then we are done. Otherwise: * Push to GNU ELPA: - merge master into the Savannah "elpa" branch and push to Savannah - from the "elpa" branch in Savannah push to elpa.git: "git push elpa elpa:externals/emms" * Send announcement email to the emms mailing list
