Tasks performed when making a new LuaRocks release:

  • Run makedist $VERSION branch binary sign
  • Copy luarocks-$VERSION.tar.gz and luarocks-$VERSION-win32.zip to gh-pages/releases
  • Edit gh-pages/releases/index.html to add links to both files
  • git add new files, git commit everything
  • git push the gh-pages branch
  • git commit changes to rockspec and src/luarocks/cfg.lua
  • git tag v$VERSION
  • git push --tags
  • Edit rockspec and src/luarocks/cfg.lua back to "scm", commit and push (probably should start doing this with branches instead, but this keeps the release tags in the main linear history)
  • Write a luarocks-$VERSION-1.rockspec file based on the previous one.
  • Upload rockspec and .src.rock to luarocks.org
  • Edit current version number in Download page in the wiki
  • Run git diff v$PREV_VERSION v$VERSION to write a changelog summary
  • Edit Release history to add new release, including changelog
  • Submit PR to http://github.com/leafo/luarocks-site updating static/md/home.md to new release
  • Write [ANN] email, usually a variation of the previous announcement, and send to lua-l@lists.lua.org, luarocks-developers@lists.sf.net and luajit@freelists.org (send as separate messages, avoid cross-posting)
