[parted-devel] notes about parted-1.8.1

[David Cantrell]

I've released parted-1.8.1 now.  Here are some changes I made:

- Leslie, your disable ext2fs resize patch lacked braces around the if 
block.  Added those.
- Otavio, I added an --enable-selinux configure option to enable linking 
with libselinux and libsepol.

Everything else looked fine to me.  The way I'm tagging and branching in 
git is a bit different from svn, so here's what I'm doing:

1) I work on stable-1.8.x and consider that the main 1.8.x development 
branch.
2) Once I release, I tag (git tag) the stable-1.8.x branch as vX.Y.Z
3) I then make a new branch based on that tag (git checkout -b 
parted-X.Y.Z vX.Y.Z).  Why?  git doesn't support checking out arbitrary 
tags later on.
4) I do the release using the copy off the branch I just made.

The parted-X.Y.Z branches can effectively be thought of as tags in this 
context.

I also made some changes to the releng scripts.  I added those and the 
--enable-selinux stuff to the master branch as well.  That reminds me, 
Anant, can you please add me as someone who is allowed to post commit 
messages?  They are coming from dcantrell-guest at alioth.debian.org.  Each 
time I push changes, it tells me it's holding the post for moderation.

Release should appear on ftp.gnu.org shortly.

Thanks, everyone!
