The buildsystem follows exactly the [[same process|release/corebuildsystem]] as releasing any other component except there is an additional step. Because this is the buildsystem and provides the makefiles for all the other source builds you must go to the CI server and ensure the source-buildsystem job has successfully run and produced output in # Release libnspsl The public suffix list library should be updated for each release after the buildsystem. Delete the `public_suffix_list.dat` file and run make, this will cause a fresh copy to be downloaded and converted. You will need the correct perl modules installed for this step (at least debian package libidna-punycode-perl). The [[release process|release/corebuildsystem]] is then the same as any other module using the core buildsystem. # Release libutf8proc May have to update to upstream unless upstream have added a pkg-config file The [[release process|release/corebuildsystem]] is largely similar otherwise. # Other core buildsystem based libraries libraries using the core buildsystem all useing the same [[release process|release/corebuildsystem]]. The libraries to release in order: - libwapcaplet - libnslog - libnsutils - libparserutils - libcss - libhubbub - libdom - libnsbmp - libnsgif - librosprite - libsvgtiny - nsgenbind - libnsfb - libpencil - librufl # Releasing NetSurf NetSurf itself does not use the core buildsystem and has its own [[release process|release/netsurfbuildsystem]] # Releasing the all source The [[all source release process|release/allsource]] should then be followed. # Bugtracker The netsurf release version must be marked as released in mantis and the next development version added if its not already present.
