From 4c2f17d2a671eb6fc6ae318647040598f67705cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Sat, 26 Oct 2013 19:26:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] maint.mk: fix "release" target to build _version This fixes a bug in README-release whereby following the outlined steps, one would publish a tarball whose programs would report --version output not consistent with the package version number. This bug caused grep-2.15 to produce a grep program whose --version option made it print 2.14.56-1e3d rather than 2.15. * top/maint.mk (release): Making this target build "_version" ensures that the new version number is reflected in configure. --- ChangeLog | 11 +++++++++++ top/maint.mk | 1 + 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+) diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 8992e91..ba3d83a 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,14 @@ +2013-10-26 Jim Meyering + + maint.mk: fix "release" target to build _version + This fixes a bug in README-release whereby following the outlined + steps, one would publish a tarball whose programs would report + --version output not consistent with the package version number. + This bug caused grep-2.15 to produce a grep program whose + --version option made it print 2.14.56-1e3d rather than 2.15. + * top/maint.mk (release): Making this target build "_version" + ensures that the new version number is reflected in configure. + 2013-10-21 Ben Pfaff install-reloc: Support multi-binary installation. diff --git a/top/maint.mk b/top/maint.mk index c9f8cc8..bf8f53a 100644 --- a/top/maint.mk +++ b/top/maint.mk @@ -1424,6 +1424,7 @@ alpha beta stable: $(local-check) writable-files $(submodule-checks) $(AM_V_at)$(MAKE) -s emit_upload_commands RELEASE_TYPE=$@ release: + $(AM_V_GEN)$(MAKE) _version $(AM_V_GEN)$(MAKE) $(release-type) # Override this in cfg.mk if you follow different procedures. -- 1.8.4.1.600.g3d092bf
