The process for releasing a new tarball is as follows:
1. Make sure you have the latest build requirements installed:
git://git.freedesktop.org/git/util/macros
git://git.freedesktop.org/git/util/modular
2. Add relevant release notes to the NEWS files
Skim the git log since the last release, and add notes in a
similar style to previous releases.
For major releases list added features and known limitations.
For minor releases indicate which bugs were fixed and which
are still present.
3. Update your module version (usually found in configure.ac)
$ vi configure.ac # bump version
$ git push origin # make sure you're on the release branch
4. Verify your module builds
$ make distcheck
5. Tag the release
$ git tag -m "Intel <ver> release" <ver>
6. Run the release script (this should push the tag)
$ <path_to>/util/modular/release.sh driver <last_ver> <ver>
7. Edit the generated release message as needed and send it out
At the very least, add the release notes from the NEWS file.
8. Throw a release party, you're done! :)
