RELEASING

The libmbim releases are generated using meson.

0.1) For major releases:
     * Increment mbim_minor_version and reset mbim_micro_version.
     * Assuming API/ABI compatibility, increment both mbim_glib_lt_current and
       mbim_glib_lt_age.

0.2) For stable branch releases:
     * Increment mbim_micro_version.

1) Add signed tag:
    $ git tag -s 1.28.0

   The description included in the signed tag could be:
    Release 1.28.0

2) Configure and build the whole project, making sure gtk-doc and introspection
   are enabled:
    $ meson setup build \
        --prefix=/usr \
        --buildtype=release \
        -Dintrospection=true \
        -Dgtk_doc=true
    $ ninja -C build

3) Run the test suite and install locally:
    $ ninja -C build test
    $ sudo ninja -C build install

4) Create directories for the manpages and gtk-doc documentation in
   freedesktop.org, and also update the 'latest' links:
    $ ssh fd.o
    [fd.o] $ cd ${libmbim}/man/
    [fd.o] $ rm latest
    [fd.o] $ mkdir -p ${VERSION}
    [fd.o] $ ln -s ${VERSION} latest
    [fd.o] $ cd ${libmbim}/libmbim-glib/
    [fd.o] $ rm latest
    [fd.o] $ mkdir -p ${VERSION}
    [fd.o] $ ln -s ${VERSION} latest

5) Generate HTML for the manpages:
    $ roffit < docs/man/mbimcli.1 > mbimcli.1.html
    $ roffit < docs/man/mbim-network.1 > mbim-network.1.html

6) Upload manpages in HTML to freedesktop.org:
    $ scp *.1.html fd.o:${libmbim}/man/${VERSION}/

7) Copy documentation from /usr/share/gtk-doc and fix online references manually
    $ mkdir html
    $ cp -r /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libmbim-glib/* html/
    $ for FILE in $(ls html/*.html); do \
        sed -i 's|<a[^>]* href="\.\./glib/[^"]*|<a href="https://docs.gtk.org/glib/|g' $FILE; \
        sed -i 's|<a[^>]* href="\.\./gobject/[^"]*|<a href="https://docs.gtk.org/gobject/|g' $FILE; \
        sed -i 's|<a[^>]* href="\.\./gio/[^"]*|<a href="https://docs.gtk.org/gio/|g' $FILE; \
      done

8) Upload the modified HTML files to freedesktop.org:
    $ scp html/* fd.o:${libmbim}/libmbim-glib/${VERSION}/

9.1) For major releases:
     * Fork new stable branch (e.g. mbim-${MAJOR}-${MINOR})
     * Post-release version bump in the main branch, increment mbim_minor_version.
     * Post-release version bump in the stable branch, increment mbim_micro_version.

9.2) For stable branch releases:
     * Post-release version bump, increment mbim_micro_version.
