In the following ${VERSION} represents the version to be released. If
it is a release candidate, it ends in -rc1, -rc2, and so on.
Example: VERSION=1.2.4-rc1
Since LuaRocks does not support dashes in the version string, except for
the build number, we replace eventual dashes (-) in ${VERSION} with
dots (.). With LuaRocks, the version number is followed by a dash and
the build number, which is usually one (1), except for release candidates,
where we use zero (0). We use ${LUAROCKS_VERSION} to represent this
version string below.
Example: LUAROCKS_VERSION=1.2.4.rc1-0
Since Windows libraries use a four number versioning scheme without the
possibility for non-digit characters, we use the fourth and last number to
distinguish between releases (0 in the last position) and release
candidates (previous version number in the first three positions, but 99,
999 and so on in the last position). This number is represented by
${WINDOWS_VERSION} in the following.
Example: WINDOWS_VERSION=1.2.3.99
Note that for Git tags we prefix ${VERSION} with v. This is explicit
in the instructions below.
-[] Copy rockspecs/rockspec to rockspecs/lualdap/lualdap-${LUAROCKS_VERSION}.rockspec
-[] In Makefile and Makefile.win adjust V to ${VERSION}
-[] In src/lualdap.def adjust VERSION to ${WINDOWS_VERSION}
-[] In README.md adjust "Current version" to ${VERSION} under
"installation"
-[] In NEWS.md:
-[] Rename "Unreleased" to ${VERSION}
-[] Adjust the link for Unreleased to show the changelog (commit log)
between the previous version and v${VERSION} and rename it to
${VERSION}
-[] Add a new, empty "Unreleased" section
-[] Add a new link for Unreleased to show the changelog between
v${VERSION} and HEAD
-[] Commit these changes with message "Release v${VERSION}"
-[] Tag this commit with v${VERSION}
