How to make a release

Versioning

Update libyaml version in:

• announcement.msg
• CMakeLists.txt
  • YAML_VERSION_MAJOR, YAML_VERSION_MINOR, YAML_VERSION_PATCH
• appveyor.yml
• configure.ac
  • YAML_MAJOR, YAML_MINOR, YAML_PATCH, YAML_RELEASE, YAML_CURRENT, YAML_REVISION

Create dist archives

Make sure you have a clean git repository (no changed files). The following process will clone your current git directory.

Run

make docker-dist

in the repository root or

make libyaml-dist

in packaging/docker.

It will create a docker image and run make dist in the container to create a tarball written to packaging/docker/output. It will also create a zipfile.

Update pyyaml.org

Put the resulting tarball/zip in pyyaml.org/download/libyaml and run

make update
