philpem edited this page Sep 17, 2023 · 2 revisions

Making a release from the Git HEAD:

  • Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/philpem/printer-driver-ptouch ptouch-driver-${VERSION}
  • cd ptouch-driver-v${VERSION}
  • Bump the version number in 'configure.ac' (AC_INIT... line)
  • Make sure any new printer drivers have been put in the Makefile.am
  • Commit and push the changes (don't worry about tagging, this happens in the Release stage)
  • Build the configure script: ./autogen.sh
  • Clean up: rm -rf .git* autom4te.cache
  • cd ..
  • tar zcf ptouch-driver-VERSION.tar.gz ptouch-driver-VERSION
  • Create Github release from tag (https://github.com/philpem/printer-driver-ptouch/releases) and upload the tarball
  • DONE!
