Release schedule
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The util-linux uses <major>.<minor>.<maint> version numbering.
|
||||
Since the major version is pretty much fixed the release means an
|
||||
upgrade of minor number. Minor version is update roughly twice
|
||||
per year. Easiest way to estimate when next version will occur is
|
||||
to see time stamp of previous release.

The util-linux package uses the <major>.<minor>.<maintenaince> version

numbering scheme. Since the major version is pretty much fixed, any

release means an increment of the minor number. The minor version is
|

incremented roughly twice per year. The easiest way to estimate when

the next version will appear, is to look at the time stamp of the last
|

release.
|

|

Before a release there are few release candidates, which will be
|
||||
collectively tested. During test period changes to code base are
|
||||
restricted. Usually there are two release candidates.

For all releases it is required that:

|

- make checkincludes pass
|

- make checkconfig pass
|
||||
- make distcheck pass
|
||||
- cd tests && ./run.sh pass
|

- out-of-tree build works

cd .. && mkdir build && cd build && ../util-linux/configure && make
