This is more a blog to document my own practices, than anything else.

While converting to git I discovered git archive which can create tar archives directly from your git repository. So basically the script is a wrapper around git archive.

1 int main(int c) {
2     printf("This is nice");
3     exit(1);
4 }

release process

My release process now becomes

• git pull, check for new commits
• git tag 0.9.1, tag the next release
• git push, push the tag to the bare git repo
• git log 0.9.0..0.9.1, check the log between this and the previous release
• ../git-release 0.9.1, make the tar.bz2 for this release
• update my site and send a new release email to the rdup list
