2
31. Check out a tag/commit corresponding to the release point.  This
4should generally be a Perl release (dev or stable).  Make sure
5your working tree is clear of extraneous files. E.g.
6
7    $ git checkout v5.15.8
8    $ git clean -dxf
9
102. Rsync the Search-Dict directory to a temporary directory for
11release.  E.g.
12
13    $ rsync -av --delete dist/Search-Dict /tmp
14
153. Change to the temp directory
16
17    $ cd /tmp/Search-Dict
18
194. Look at the Changes file.  If it was not kept up to date in blead,
20take a minute to feel sad, then update it.  Remember to copy the
21changes back to blead later.
22
235. Configure and then make a MANIFEST
24
25    $ perl Makefile.PL
26    $ make manifest
27
286. Build a release directory and examine its contents, paying particular
29attention to the MANIFEST and the META files
30
31    $ make distdir
32
337. Test the release directory
34
35    $ make disttest
36
378. If all looks good, create a tarball and upload it to CPAN (maybe
38install CPAN::Uploader or an equivalent tool)
39
40    $ make dist
41    $ cpan_upload Search-Dict-X.YYYZZZ.tar.gz
42
439. Update Porting/Maintainers.pl in the Perl repo with the new tarball
44name for Search-Dict.
