I suppose you can say the most productive thing I’ve done all day is make a release of gtranslator-1.1.6 🔗💀, using GNOME’s ‘install-module’ script for the first time.

In doing so, I made myself some rough notes, as I always forget how I made the last release. In fact, I forgot to tag the 1.1.5 release last time round, so I’ve just retrospectively tagged it as of the date I made the 1.1.5 tarball. Here are the notes I made, which I will now attempt to follow whenever making a release of gtranslator. If anyone with more experience has any tips, send them on over.

Commit everything.

Bump version in configure.in.

Tag (cvs tag gtranslator-1-1-7) in CVS.

make maintainer-clean; ./autogen.sh
make
make dist

scp tarball to master.gnome.org
ssh to master.gnome.org and run 'install-module'

That is, if you can get your mail through to me. I stepped up the anti-spam measures on my personal/family/friends server. I’ve added a whole load of new RBLs to my postfix config, including the SORBS 🔗💀 RHSBL, raised the scoring on those annoying NIGERIANx_BODY scam mails, added a couple of new body checks for spam I see that are still slipping through. I’m worried that one or more of my family and/or friends are going to become infected with one of these new virii and start relaying spam through their SMTP (AUTHenticated) accounts on my server and get it blacklisted, but whilst you can whack all the moles you like, some moles are inevitably going to pop up.
