devX* X11 core/server font xtotroff
|
|
|
|
The make(1) target "maintainer-font-descriptions" produces these font
|
|
descriptions.
|
|
|
|
* Retrieve current versions of UnicodeData.txt[1] and the Adobe Glyph
|
|
List (AGL)[2], and use them with
|
|
src/utils/afmtodit/make-afmtodit-tables to update
|
|
src/utils/afmtodit/afmtodit.tables.
|
|
|
|
[1] E.g., <https://www.unicode.org/Public/15.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt>.
|
|
Check for the latest _released_ version of Unicode at the time.
|
|
Data for the forthcoming release may be available.

|
(<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adobe-type-tools/agl-aglfn/\
|
|
master/glyphlist.txt> may be more convenient.)
|
|
|
|
* Update the 'gnulib' sub-module to the latest version and the
|
|
corresponding required commit hash identifier in 'INSTALL.REPO'.
|
|
|
|
* Update the release version number where it is hard-coded.

|
|
* If the major or minor version number is being incremented, split off
|
|
a historical ChangeLog file and add it to `EXTRA_DIST` in Makefile.am.
|
|
|
|
* Update in 'src/roff/groff/groff.cpp' the 'printf' that displays the
|
|
copyright.
|
|
|
|
* Update the copyright year with 'update-copyright.sh'.
|
|
|
|
* Increment the version number by tagging the release, beta, or release
|
|
candidate. groff requires an explicit three-part version,
|
|
major.minor.revision, due to the .Y register.
