Modules sort.c and random.c should be factored out into separate
modules (but still be distributed with guile-core) when we get a new
directory.
* Check for files that have changed a lot, but do not have up-to-date
copyright notices. This can be as simple as doing:
- grep 'Copyright' * | grep -v 1999
+ grep 'Copyright' * | grep -v 1999
and looking for files you know you've worked on a lot.
* Make sure NEWS, INSTALL and the docs are up to date:
+ Scan the ChangeLogs for user-visible changes, marked with an asterisk
* Make sure the downloading addresses and filenames in README are
current. (But don't bump the version number yet. We do that below.)
* Check that the versions of aclocal, automake, autoconf, and autoheader
- in your PATH match those given in README. Note that the `make
+ in your PATH match those given in HACKING. Note that the `make
dist' process always invokes these tools, even when all the
generated files are up to date.
* Rebuild all generated files in the source tree:
+ Run autoheader.
+ Run automake.
* Verify that Guile builds and runs in your working directory.
-* Run the test suite, in guile-modules/test-suite.
+* Run the test suite, in guile-core/test-suite.
* Commit all changes to the CVS repository.
* Build a test distribution.
+ BEFORE doing 'make dist', configure the source tree for build
