Packaging a Documentation Distribution

Follow these instructions to build a Cygwin/X documentation source code distribution:

1. Edit the version tag in the file configure.ac to indicate a new version. The line containing the version tag should look like:

   AC_INIT(cygwin-x-doc, 1.0.0)

2. Commit this change to git and apply an appropriate tag:

   Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0 $ git add configure.ac Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0 $ git commit -m "Bump version to 1.0.0" [...] Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0 $ git tag VERSION_1_0_0

3. Change the current directory to the documentation source code build directory:

   Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0 $ cd cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0/build Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0/build $

4. Build the documentation source code distribution:

   Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0/build $ make distcheck

5. The documentation source code distribution should now be contained in the current directory in a file called cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0.tar.bz2.

6. Packaging the documentation is now complete.
