For Maintainers
|
||
|
|
====================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before packaging a new release based on a new source tarball, you have to
|
||
|
|
update the version suffix in the Makefile:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
VER = [VERSION]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure that the defined version corresponds to the font software metadata
|
||
|
|
which you can check with ftinfo/otfinfo or fontforge itself. It is highly
|
||
|
|
recommended that file 'ChangeLog' is updated to reflect changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create a tarball with the following command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ make dist
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The new versioned tarball will be available in the dist/ folder as
|
||
|
|
`liberation-fonts-[NEW_VERSION].tar.gz.`
