This is an explanation of how to make a release for Emms. Emms is currently distributed in three different ways: via the Git repo on Savannah, as a tarball from GNU, and via GNU ELPA. * Increase the version number in emms.el (variable, elpa header), Makefile * Update NEWS * Push version updates to git repo * Tag release in VCS, for example `git tag -a 4.2 -m "4.2"' * Push tag to VCS if needed, for example `git push --tags origin "4.2"' * Run make release * Run make upload * Update copy of emms.info in root directory * Update online manual (cvs commit -m "update manual" manual/index.html) * Update website (cvs commit -m "update website" index.html) * 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
