The release manager should attempt to have a release every 3-4 months because LLVM
does time based releases (instead of feature based). The release schedule should
be roughly as follows:
<ol>
<li>Set code freeze and branch creation date for 3 months after last release
date. Announce release schedule to the LLVM community and update the website.</li>
<li>Create release branch and begin release process. </li>
<li>Send out pre-release for first round of testing. Testing will last 7-10 days.
During the first round of testing, regressions should be found and fixed. Patches
are merged from mainline to the release branch.</li>
<li>Generate and send out second pre-release. Bugs found during this time will
not be fixed unless absolutely critical. Bugs introduce by patches merged in

</li>
<li>
Build the libraries in <tt>llvm/runtime</tt> and install them into the
created LLVM GCC installation directory.
</li>
<li>
For systems with non-distributable header files (e.g. Solaris), manually
remove header files that the GCC build process has "fixed." This process
is admittedly painful, but not as bad as it looks; these header files are
almost always easily identifiable with simple grep expressions and are
installed in only a few directories in the GCC installation directory.
</li>
<li>
Add the copyright files and header file fix script.
</li>
<li>
Archive and compress the installation directory. These can be found in
previous releases of the LLVM-GCC front-end.
</li>
</ol> </ol>
<p>Ask LLVM developers to submit the report and make check results to the list.
Verify that there are no regressions from the previous release. For
unsupported targets, verify that make check at least is clean.</p>
<p>The first round of pre-release testing will be the longest. During this time,
all regressions must be fixed before the second pre-release is created (repeat
steps 4-8).</p>
<p>If this is the second round of testing, this is only to ensure the bug fixes
previously merged in have not created new major problems. This is not the time
to solve additional and unrelated bugs. If no patches are merged in, the release
is determined to be ready and the release manager may move onto the next step.</p>

several tarballs. The first set, the source distributions, are automatically
generated by the "make dist" and "make dist-check". There are gzip, bzip2, and
zip versions of these bundles.</p>
<p>The second set of tarballs is the binary release. When "make dist-check"
succeeds, it will have created an _install directory into which it installed
the binary release. You need to rename that directory as "llvm" and then
create tarballs from the contents of that "llvm" directory.</p>
<p>Finally, use rpm to make an rpm package based on the llvm.spec file. Don't
forget to update the version number, documentation, etc. in the llvm.spec
file.</p>
