Hi all, Not having done a BLFS release before, and there appears to be no information in the Editor's Guide or elsewhere (I realize Bruce has a personal checklist), I'm sort of winging it as I go. Because the 6.2.0 release will be (hopefully) updated to a 6.2.1 release, I'm thinking the best way to go is as follows:
1. Copy trunk to a 6.2.0 tag 2. Copy trunk to a 6.2.1 branch 3. Make the appropriate edits in the 6.2.0 tag to reflect the changes from SVN-<Date> to 6.2.0 versioning 4. Render the book in HTML and install it on quantum 5. Render the book in PDF and install it on quantum 6. Make the appropriate messages on the BLFS web site to reflect the 6.2.0 release 7. Send out appropriate messages to the various mailing lists announcing the 6.2.0 release 8. After the 6.2.0 release, all changes will go to trunk, and all changes compatible with LFS-6.2 will be merged into the 6.2.1 branch Of course, none of this really has anything to do with today's release of 6.2.0-rc1 which to me is nothing more than an svn copy from trunk to a 6.2.0-rc1 tag, and rendering the various formats of the book and installing them on quantum, updating the web site and sending out messages to the mailing lists. This message is more geared to the actual 6.2.0 release on 2/14. Please, anyone with experience or thoughts about the plan, jump in and provide your comments.
