* Release docs: fix notesDavid Brownell2009-11-041-7/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | We currently do something unusual: version codes in config.in get updated after the release, which means that "git describe" won't match up to development version labels. Comment that trouble spot. We can fix this by switching away from the major/minor/micro type release numbering, as various other projects have done. The major numbers basically don't tend to change, and doing a good job with micro versions is so annoying that they rarely change either.

* Other files: stop referring to ChangeLog tooDavid Brownell2009-11-041-3/+1
| | | | | | | The ChangeLog idiom is redundant given any decent SCM. Time to phase it out here. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net>
* Tweak release docsDavid Brownell2009-11-041-110/+172
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Contrast releases to git snapshot tarballs. Mention that releases have some quality-improvement focus, with special non-"dev" version IDs. Explain more about version IDs, using "openocd -v" to see them, etc; Make release milestone info be less specific about timing, and presume we have both a merge window and an RC stage. Rework the release process information to match reality a bit more closely. Reference the version.sh script (in one place the wrong script was referenced). Bugfix branches get special treatment, while non-bugfix releases are more or less what *defines* being the mainline branch. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net>
* Rewrite release script to use GIT.Zachary T Welch2009-10-271-136/+62
| | | | | | | | Update documentation to reflect GIT methodology. Rewrite release.sh script to use appropriate process. With this update, tools/release.sh can be used for producing private release tags on local branches. The documentation still needs work, but their use for v0.3.x should help rectify the deficiences.
* Change most in-tree references from SVN to GIT.dbrownell2009-10-081-18/+18
| | | | | | | | | Also, talk about "mainline" not "trunk". The release.txt and release.sh files need more updates. git-svn-id: svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk@2825 b42882b7-edfa-0310-969c-e2dbd0fdcd60
* Change version labels to work better with GITdbrownell2009-10-071-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - The guess-rev.sh script is now a tweaked version of "setlocalversion" as seen in Linux, U-Boot, and various other projects. When it finds source control support (git, hg, svn) it uses IDs from there. Else (specific to this project) it reports itself as "-snapshot", e.g. from gitweb. I verified this new "guess-rev.sh" script runs under Cygwin. - Also update the generic version strings to be like "0.3.0-dev" (during development) instead of the very long "0.3.0-in-development". These also show up in the PDF docs. For better tracking, we might eventually change these strings to include the version IDs too. - Change the startup banner version strings so they include the guess-rev output. Development and release versions with GIT will be like Open On-Chip Debugger 0.3.0-dev-00282-g7191a4f-dirty (2009-10-05-20:57) Open On-Chip Debugger 0.3.0 (2009-10-05-20:57) instead of the previous SVN-specific (even when using git-svn!) Open On-Chip Debugger 0.3.0-in-development (2009-10-05-01:39) svn:exported Open On-Chip Debugger 0.3.0 (2009-10-05-01:39) Release git-svn-id: svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk@2809 b42882b7-edfa-0310-969c-e2dbd0fdcd60

In doing so, some further revisions to the process were required: 1) The URL of the repository is embedded in the released code. - The packages need to be created from the tagged branch. - The URL then points to where to get the tagged code. 2) Improve the instructions for NEWS handling. - NEWS file must be updated for each release; describe that process. - The NEWS file should be archived an recreated for each release. 3) Add detail steps for the berliOS release process. 4) Minor cleanups to release process doxygen markup. git-svn-id: svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk@2475 b42882b7-edfa-0310-969c-e2dbd0fdcd60
