When building official distro packages the BUILDTOOLVER needs to be set to the
exact label of the release package in order to allow to detect the exactly used
devtools version. This is required for reproducible builds to fetch the according
files like makepkg.conf.
BUILDTOOLVER="${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-${arch}" make all- bump the version in the Makefile
- Commit everything as
Version $(date +"%Y%m%d") - Create a new tag
git tag -s $(date +"%Y%m%d") - Push changes
- Upload the source tarball with
make dist upload - Update the package
