================ |
|
|
58 |
|
|
|
59 |
(FIXME) |
|
|
60 |
Before packaging a new release based on a new source tarball, you have to |
|
|
61 |
update the version number in the Makefile: |
|
|
62 |
|
|
|
63 |
VER = [VERSION] |
|
|
64 |
|
|
|
65 |
Make sure that the defined version corresponds to the font software metadata |
|
|
66 |
which you can check with ftinfo/otfinfo or fontforge itself. It is highly recommended that file 'ChangeLog' is updated to reflect |
|
|
67 |
changes. |
|
|
68 |
|
|
|
69 |
Create a tarball with the following command: |
|
|
70 |
$ make dist |
|
|
71 |
|
|
|
72 |
The new versionned tarball will be available in the dist/ folder as |
|
|
73 |
'liberation-fonts-[NEW_VERSION].tar.gz'. |
|
|

(FIXME) |
