Prepare source

Check working tree is clean:

git status

Check code is up to date:

git pull

If it is a .0 release, create a branch (if $newv is $x.$y.0, $branch is homerun/$x.$y):

git checkout -b $branch
git push -u origin $branch:$branch

Update NEWS:

git log --pretty=format:'- \%s (\%an)' $oldv..HEAD

Update version number in top-level CMakeLists.txt.

Check it still builds.

Publish changes:

git commit
git push

Pack source

Get releaseme:

git clone kde:releaseme
cd releaseme

Create tarball:

./homerun.rb -u $svnusername --git-branch homerun/$x.$y --version $x.$y.$z

Check it builds:

tar xf homerun-$newv.tar.bz2
cd homerun-$newv
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install ..
make all
make check
make install

Check translations have been installed.

If ok, create $newv tag:

git tag -a $newv

Push:

git push
git push --tags

Merge back in master

git checkout master
git merge --no-ff homerun/$x.$y
git push
