Procedure for making a GF release:

1. Make sure everything that should be in the release has been
   checked in.

2. Go to the src/ dir.

   $ cd src

3. Edit configure.ac to set the right version number 
   (the second argument to the AC_INIT macro).

4. Edit gf.spec to set the version and release numbers 
   (change %define version and %define release).

5. Commit configure.ac and gf.spec:

   $ cvs commit -m 'Updated version numbers.' configure.ac gf.spec

6. Run autoconf to generate configure with the right version number:

   $ autoconf

7. Go back to the root of the tree.

   $ cd ..

8. Tag the release. (X_X should be replaced by the version number, with
   _ instead of ., e.g. 2_0)

   $ cvs tag RELEASE-X_X

9. Build a source package:

   $ cd src
   $ ./configure
   $ make dist

10. Build an x86/linux RPM (should be done on a Mandrake Linux box):

    Setup for building RPMs (first time only):

    - Make sure that you have the directories neccessary to build
      RPMs:
      
      $ mkdir -p ~/rpm/{BUILD,RPMS/i586,RPMS/noarch,SOURCES,SRPMS,SPECS,tmp}

    - Create ~/.rpmrc with the following contents:

buildarchtranslate: i386: i586
buildarchtranslate: i486: i586
buildarchtranslate: i586: i586
buildarchtranslate: i686: i586

    - Create ~/.rpmmacros with the following contents:

%_topdir        %(echo ${HOME}/rpm)
%_tmppath       %{_topdir}/tmp

%packager       Your Name <yourusername@cs.chalmers.se>

    Build the RPM:

   $ cd src 
   $ ./configure
   $ make rpm

11. Build a generic binary x86/linux (should be done on a Linux box,
    e.g. banded.medic.chalmers.se):

   $ cd src
   $ ./configure --host=i386-pc-linux-gnu && make binary-dist

12. Build a generic binary sparc/solaris package (should be done 
    on a Solaris box, e.g. remote1.cs.chalmers.se):

   $ cd src
   $ ./configure --host=sparc-sun-solaris2 && gmake binary-dist

13. Build a Mac OS X package (should be done on a Mac OS X box, 
    e.g. csmisc99.cs.chalmers.se):

    $ cd src
    $ ./configure && make binary-dist
    
    Note that to run GHC-compiled binaries on OS X, you need
    a "Haskell Support Framework". This should be available 
    separately from the GF download page. 
    
    TODO: Use OS X PackageMaker to build  a .pkg-file which can
    be installed using the standard OS X Installer program. 

14. Build a Windows package:

    ???

15. Update website.

16. Party!
