It's probably simpler and safer to make a new working directory exclusively for the release branch. + If the working directory has subdirectories created when making + previous releases or pretests, remove those subdirectories, as the + command which updates the ChangeLog file might attempt to recurse + there and scan any ChangeLog.* files there. + Make sure the tree is built, or at least configured. That's because some of the commands below run Make, so they need Makefiles to be present. |
