2017-02-09Release packaging & scripting improvements.exim-4_89_RC3Phil Pennock
* Make the .xz tarball variant too, and work harder on compressing our files for distribution. + The .xz files have gained more positive feedback than any other part of the 4.89 release. * Drop usercodes from tarball + We shouldn't be embedding own-system-specifc ownership information into software release tarballs. That's for local system backups, not distribution. * Script for the size/checksums + We include checksums in the mail; this gets the format fixed and not including checksums-of-signatures, etc. I've also experimented with including the size, so let's script that to be portably generated. * Better tarball signing script + Automatically find the signing directory (if not already in it) + Sign all files, properly skipping existing .asc files + Find the signing key from git config, if available, else error out (Nigel is not on the hook as the default victim now) + Show what we're doing as we do it All changes made on the original `release_4_89` branch with `RELEASE EXPERIMENT` subject tags.

2016-02-25Release: fix release scriptHeiko Schlittermann (HS12-RIPE)
- accept minor version number - allow to skip the build-of-documentation step - allow release of "any" version from anywhere - avoid calling "old" reversion scripts, create version.sh

2013-10-03Unbreak HTML build for RC candidates.Phil Pennock
The HTML build now uses the website repo, which extracts the version number from the XML (generated from the .xfpt). Meanwhile, commit 2aee48d6 made the version number in the build process dynamic, taking the value from the release script (via an environ variable). This change fixes the invocation to pass the version _without_ an RC suffix to the XML build, letting HTML generation happen.
2012-11-24Insert version number and date into documentation at build time. Bug 1318.Jeremy Harris
Write a temp file with macro definitions from the makefile, and include it from the doc sources. Pass the version to make from the perl script. It is still needed to manually update the previous-version number and changebar indicators (.new/.wen) manually.

2011-06-30Use git to automatically create version.hTony Finch
Adapted from git itself via unifdef. This does not (yet) include the equivalent automation for the doc build.
2011-06-29Remove obsolete $Cambridge$ CVS revision strings.Tony Finch
I have also de-CVSed the ABOUT files and cleaned up a few introductory comments.

2010-12-18Release script now generates the HTML documentationNigel Metheringham
This is really rather crude... but should work.
2010-12-17Stripped old HTML doc generation - will add new HTML gen soonNigel Metheringham
2010-12-16Updated mk_exim_release.pl to work with gitNigel Metheringham
However this still builds docs as before - ie it does not use the new HTML generation. Will work on that next.
