CHECKLIST FOR NEW RELEASES
==========================
release:
- check out i2c and lm_sensors2
- Update, if necessary, the version number of `sensors'
(edit prog/sensors/main.c and change the VERSION define)
`cvs diff -r Vx-y-z prog/sensors' is your friend.
- Update if necessary, the version number of libsensors
(edit lib/Module.mk and change LIBMAINVER and/or LIBMINORVER)
Remember: update main number when interface changes, minor if new
functionality is added, and patch if only bugs are fixed.
`cvs diff -r Vx-y-z lib' is your friend.
- Update CHANGES
- Update lm_sensors.lsm and send it to the LSM by mailing it to
lsm@execpc.com with the subject `add' (no quotes).
- update lm_sensors2/version.h, and cvs commit it
- Tag the release using CVS ('cvs tag V#-#-#' from the dist root)
- cp lm_sensors2/README.package README
- remove 'CVS' related files/directories
- tar it up and post it (sign it!)
kernel patch (repeat with latest 2.2.x and 2.3.x kernels):
- untar a virgin kernel
- mkpatch against i2c, and apply it
- mkpatch against lm_sensors2
- put the patches in a lm_sensors-2.x.x-kernel-2.x.x.patches dir
- cp ../lm_sensors.../lm_sensors2/README.patches ./README
- tar and post it (sign it!)
