-Preparing a bind9 release
-
-Here's a rough outline of the steps to follow in preparing a new bind9
-release.
-
- - Update the README file
-
- - Update doc/misc/options
-
- - Verify that the file "version" contains the correct version
-   number (it should have been incremented after the
-   previous release)
-
- - If this is a final release (not a beta), update the
-   lib/*/api files as needed.  See the libtool info file
-   for information about what the various numbers mean.
-
- - Check that http://status.isc.org/bind9/bind9.html shows 
-   a clean build and test status for all supported systems.
-
- - Check that "make all_tests" does not produce compile errors.
-
- - Make sure that the most recent version of the ARM has been
-   checked in.  Look for any obvious broken links in the
-   .html files.
-
- - Update the copyrights.  According to tale:
-
-     Go to the root of the source tree.
-     The scripts need to be run from there; they reference the util
-     subdirectory internally.
-
-     $ make distclean
-     $ util/merge_copyrights
-     $ diff util/copyrights util/newcopyrights
-     ... examine output, particularly any files with the "?" type, and
-     ... then edit util/newcopyrights if necessary
-     $ mv util/newcopyrights util/copyrights
-     $ cvs ci -m'merge_copyrights' util/copyrights
-     $ util/update_copyrights < util/copyrights
-     $ cvs diff
-     ... examine output, edit as necessary.  mail me about anything that
-     ... the script should have been able to do itself. :-)
-     $ cvs ci -m'update_copyrights'
-
- - Announce a CVS pool freeze on bind-dev
-
- - Do basic tests on each build system:
-
-    check out a source tree
-    do a build
-    test it:
-      transfer in
-      transfer out
-      auth query
-      recursive query
-      exit cleanly with no leaks
-
- - On a system with gcc, run
-
-      find lib -name '*.h' -print | xargs util/check-includes.pl
-      util/check-instincludes.sh
-
- - On selected platforms, do more detailed tests:
-
-    Using bind9 as a caching server during web surfing
-    Resolving IPv6 addresses
-    Doing queries over IPv6
-
- - Add a marker line like "	--- 9.0.0b3 released ---"
-   to the CHANGES file.
-
- - Tag the CVS source tree with the final tag, as in
-   "cvs rtag v9_0_0b3 bind9".
-
- - Export the source tree in to a fresh directory by
-   running "cvs export", as in "cvs export -rv9_0_0b3 bind9"
-
- - Run "make kit" (actually, "sh configure && make kit").
-
- - Take the resulting distribution files to a secure system 
-   and sign them with the ISC signing PGP key:
-   "pgp -sba bind-9.0.0b3.tar.gz -u 0x51BAB2ED"
-
- - Change file permissions on the signature file to make sure
-   it is not writable
-
- - Build bind9 from the kit on at least one machine
-   and test it
-
- - Prepare a release announcement based on the previous one
-
- - Prepare new web site information
-
- - Verify the PGP signature:
-   pgp bind-9.0.0b3.tar.gz.asc bind-9.0.0b3.tar.gz
-
- - Copy the distribution and PGP signature files to the FTP site:
-
-     ssh isrv4.pa.vix.com "mkdir /udir/ftp/isc/bind9/9.0.0b4"
-     scp bind-9.0.0b4.tar.gz bind-9.0.0b4.tar.gz.asc \
-	isrv4.pa.vix.com:/udir/ftp/isc/bind9/9.0.0b4   
-
- - Download using FTP and verify the PGP signature again
-
- - Increment the version in the file "version"
-
- - Announce end of CVS pool freeze on bind-dev
-
- - Announce the release
