--------------------- Releasing new version --------------------- Before release, it is usually worth the time to browse the Bugzilla for patches and easy fixes. 1) Apply (merge) all changes you want to be present in the new version to the master branch. 2) Increment the version in the VERSION file (do not forget to commit) 3) run 'make upstream-release', which will - check if the version in VERSION does not exist already - create a tarball - upload the tarball to fedorahosted.org - tag the current commit with the version tag - push tags upstream Note: we track bugs in Fedora / RH QA Process bugzilla for appropriate package, so fixing bugs in upstream release does not constitute an event for any bug status flipping. .
