It seems that we have reached some conclusions which are fading away (at least
in my memory), it helps to re-read.
I think we should put this into wiki.
Regarding the patches, I've posted a comment
asking about installation of
osmo-release.mk, otherwise I haven't taken a detailed look yet.
Thanks, will fix in next revision.
The topic is non-trivial, and I guess it would be good
to have a practical
example that includes the entire process: make a change to libosmocore that
bumps a version and is required by e.g. libosmo-abis; what exactly are my steps
in sequence to achieve that? Does it make sense to have this in a WIP wiki
page?
I think it's better to add WIP section to
https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Make_a_new_release
Also, have a look at "When to make a new release" section.
I think it's essential to clearly distinguish between "make a change to
library" and
"making library release". The former is the usual commit (make sure to update
TODO-RELEASE if necessary) and does not require anything special. The latter is when
proposed makefile helper comes into play (it batches together several of "make a
change to library" commits). Once the result release commit lands in master it you
can bump version requirements of projects which depends on it as necessary.
Overall though, I think we should do it other way around: when we need to release one
of non-library projects (Osmo*) we should check dependencies and make their releases
if necessary before proceeding with the release of the Osmo* project.
