new release soon

I am planning on making a new release of docbook-utils soon (within
the next week or two).  I don't plan on changing much from what is
currently in CVS.

Please take a look and shout if there is something wrong.  To get a
tarball, use 'make -f Makefile.cvs', './configure', and 'make dist'.

Thanks,
Tim.

What a sec, why do things differently?  You should do

./autogen.sh
./configure
make distcheck
# (make sure you do "distcheck")

(note the above steps are even more nicely done building in a separate
directory)

and then, since we use automake/autoconf properly, you can build the
RPMs with

rpm -ta docbook-utils-version.tar.gz

then you're done, and all in a gnulitically correct way.

At one point Eric had mistakenly removed docbook-utils.spec from the
EXTRA_DIST and hence made it impossible to do the "rpm -ta
file.tar.gz", but I think I reintroduced it, or in any case it should
be done.

Finally, as you feel you are close to being ready, can you point me to
the tarballs so I can see if they work on solaris?  It's always a good
shakeout to test these things on a different OS.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work (and didn't work before I touched
CVS).  jw.1.in needs to be generated by hand, or else configure
fails. (This step seems to be done by Makefile.cvs.)

It would be nice to fix this so that we can just do a normal release
as you suggest.  Patches welcome.

Right.  It seems to be missing.  Thanks for catching that.

As I said: check out current CVS, then make -f Makefile.cvs;
./configure; make dist.

Perhaps I ought to do a pre-release after all..

No, Tim, it's your responsibility to do the "make -f Makefile.cvs" _before_ 
you do the tarballs.

Do it in a _copy_ of the CVS tree, because it removes files ;-)

Final users do
	./configure
	make
	make install
as usually.

We need a bit of tuning during the change of maintainer ;-)

I understand that---I'm just warning that I will make a release soon,
and that is how I will do it, so if you take a look at the result of
doing that you'll see something similar to the end product.

So take a look now, before I make the release.

(Do we need to do a pre-release for this?  I'd rather not.)
