Abstract: In this article, Linus talks about building a tarball, |
|
incremental patch, and ChangeLog, given a base release and two |
|
rc releases, following the convention of giving the patch from |
|
the base release and the latest rc, with ChangeLog between the |
|
last rc and the latest rc. |

Well, git-tar-tree has been there since late April - it's actually one of |
|
those really early commands. I'm pretty sure the RSS feed came later ;) |
|
|
|
I use it all the time in doing releases, it's a lot faster than creating a |
|
tar tree by reading the filesystem (even if you don't have to check things |
|
out). A hidden pearl. |
|
|
|
This is my crappy "release-script": |
|
|
|
[torvalds@g5 ~]$ cat bin/release-script |
|
#!/bin/sh |
|
stable="$1" |
|
last="$2" |
|
new="$3" |
|
echo "# git-tag v$new" |
|
echo "git-tar-tree v$new linux-$new | gzip -9 > ../linux-$new.tar.gz" |
|
echo "git-diff-tree -p v$stable v$new | gzip -9 > ../patch-$new.gz" |
|
echo "git-rev-list --pretty v$new ^v$last > ../ChangeLog-$new" |
|
echo "git-rev-list --pretty=short v$new ^v$last | git-shortlog > ../ShortLog" |
|
echo "git-diff-tree -p v$last v$new | git-apply --stat > ../diffstat-$new" |
|
|
|
and when I want to do a new kernel release I literally first tag it, and |
|
then do |
|
|
|
release-script 2.6.12 2.6.13-rc6 2.6.13-rc7 |
|
|
|
and check that things look sane, and then just cut-and-paste the commands. |
|
|
|
Yeah, it's stupid. |
