>Description:
The following are issues with the prerelease tarball distribution;
though mostly not release critical, they ought to be fixed for the
release:
* The files in the tarball are not world-readable. According to the
GNU Coding Standards, they ought to be. (They ought to be anyway,
even if we ignore the other statements there that directories should
be mode 777 and filenames no more than 14 characters.)
* The HTML installation instructions are not present in the INSTALL
directory.
* The files bugs.html and gnats.html ought to be included in the
release tarball, so users have reasonably current bug reporting
instructions there. (If converted on time, faq.html should be
included as well.)
* .bz2 files should be generated; I previously added support for this
to the release script.
The following should be done for the release proper (not
pre-releases), and don't yet seem to be covered in the release script:
* ChangeLogs on the release branch should be updated just before the
release to mark in each ChangeLog the point at which the release was
made. (See /home/law/egcs/update_changelogs on gcc.gnu.org.)
Similarly, version.c files should be updated to record the status as
"release" rather than "prerelease". (And then changed back to
"prerelease", version 3.0.1, immediately after the release is made.)
* The file gcc/NEWS should be regenerated (on the branch; it may as
well be regenerated on the mainline as well) from the then current
release notes, with contrib/gennews, just before the release is
made.
