Hello automakers. After some rounds of testing of 'maint', today I decided the time was almost ripe for a 1.12.6 release. Just after thinking that, I thought "Nooo, here it comes another load of clerical work required by the release process!".
Well, I guess that is a clear indicator of missing automation :-) We can and should do better. So I wrote this patch series to somewhat lighten the burden of making a release. While at it, I threw in some related tweaks and improvements. I intended to push this by tomorrow. Any objection, observation, suggestion? Regards, Stefano -*-*-*- Stefano Lattarini (6): release: distinguish major and minor releases release: generate a stub for the release announcement sync: update files from upstream with "make fetch" docs: copy the 'gendocs.sh' script from Texinfo CVS repository docs: add rule to generate manuals for www.gnu.org fetch: improve, and reduce code duplication .gitignore | 2 + HACKING | 14 +- Makefile.am | 191 +++++++++++++++++------ lib/config.sub | 8 +- lib/gendocs.sh | 434 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ lib/gendocs_template | 87 +++++++++++ 6 files changed, 678 insertions(+), 58 deletions(-) create mode 100755 lib/gendocs.sh create mode 100644 lib/gendocs_template -- 1.8.0.1.347.gf94c325
