Making a backup-utils release

  1. Install the debian devscripts package: sudo apt-get install devscripts
  2. Add a new version and release notes to the debian/changelog file: dch --newversion 2.6.0 --release-heuristic log You can use make pending-prs to craft the release notes.
  3. Rev the share/github-backup-utils/version file.
  4. Tag the release: git tag v2.0.2
  5. Build that tarball package: make dist
  6. Build the deb package: make deb. All the tests should pass.
  7. Draft a new release at https://github.com/github/backup-utils/releases, including the release notes and attaching the tarball and deb packages. The dist tarball you should upload has the git revision in the file name, i.e. something like github-backup-utils-v2.5.0.tar.gz
  8. Push the head of the release to the 'stable' branch.
