# Steps to a Successful Release
|
|
|
|
1. Add all items to NEWS
|
|
2. Update the contributors list in NEWS (`ninja -C build git-contrib`)
|
|
3. Update the time and place in NEWS
|
|
4. Update version and library numbers in `meson.build`
|
|
5. Tag the release: `version=vXXX-rcY && git tag -s "${version}" -m "systemd ${version}"`
|
|
6. Do `ninja -C build`
|
|
7. Make sure that the version string and package string match: `build/systemctl --version`
|
|
8. Upload the documentation: `ninja -C build doc-sync`
|
|
9. [After final release] Close the github milestone and open a new one (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/milestones)
|
|
10. "Draft" a new release on github (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/new), mark "This is a pre-release" if appropriate.
|
|
11. Check that announcement to systemd-devel, with a copy&paste from NEWS, was sent. This should happen automatically.
|
|
12. Update IRC topic (`/msg chanserv TOPIC #systemd Version NNN released`)
|
|
13. [After final release] Also push commits to stable, create an empty -stable branch: `git push systemd-stable origin/master:master origin/master:refs/heads/${version}-stable`, and change the default branch to latest release (https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable/settings/branches).
