-Tasks needed before the next release.
-
-* TO BE DONE SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE
-
-** Make sure the necessary sources and scripts for any generated files
-are included in the source tarfile. (They don't need to be installed,
-so eg admin/ is fine.)
-
-** Manuals
-Check for node names using problematic characters:
- find doc -name '*.texi' -exec grep '^@node[^,]*[:.()]' {} +
-Sadly makeinfo does not warn about such characters.
-
-Check for major new features added since the last release (e.g. new
-lisp files), and add the relevant authors to the Acknowledgments in
-doc/emacs/ack.texi and emacs.texi.
-
-Check cross-references between the manuals (eg from emacs to elisp)
-are correct. You can use something like the following in the info
-directory in the Emacs build tree:
-
-emacs -Q --eval "(progn (require 'info) (setq Info-directory-list '(\".\")))" \
- -f info-xref-check-all
-
-Setting Info-directory-list avoids having system info pages confuse
-things. References to external manuals will be flagged as
-uncheckable. You should still check these, and also that each
-external manual has an appropriate redirect in the file manual/.htaccess
-in the web pages repository. E.g.:
-Redirect /software/emacs/manual/html_mono/automake.html /software/automake/manual/automake.html
-Redirect /software/emacs/manual/html_node/automake/ /software/automake/manual/html_node/
-
-Another tool you can use to check links is gnu.org's linc.py:
-http://www.gnu.org/server/source/
-
-You run this something like:
-
-cd /path/to/cvs/emacs-www
-linc.py -o /path/to/output-dir --url http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ .
-
-Be warned that it is really, really slow (as in, can take ~ a full day
-to check the manual/ directory). It is probably best to run it on a
-single directory at a time from eg manual/html_node. It is very
-inefficient, but may reveal a few things that info-xref does not.
-
-
-make emacs.dvi, elisp.dvi, and deal with any errors (undefined
-references etc) in the output. Break any overfull lines.
-Underfull hboxes are not serious, but it can be nice to get rid of
-them if a simple rephrasing or rearrangement will work.
-
-Update the master menu and detailed menu (eg the antinews version).
-The command texinfo-multiple-files-update can do this, but you
-probably want to apply the results selectively (eg the current master
-menu has better line-breaks than the automatic version). It includes
-the menu-entry name (if there is one) as well as the node name - using
-only the latter looks better. Also, it doesn't seem to handle nested
-includes, so will miss edebug.texi etc.
-
-Check for widow and orphan lines in the printed manual; make sure all
-the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted. Orphans/widows
-are cases where the first/last line of a paragraph is on its own at
-the end/start of a page, or where the last word in a paragraph is on
-its own at the start of a line. It looks better if you reword/respace
-things to avoid these. (AFAIK, there is no way to find these except
-paging through the whole manual.) This should be the very last thing
-you do, since any change can alter the layout.
-(Actually, there is probably little point in trying to do this.
-It's only really relevant if printed versions of the manuals are going
-to be published. End-users are not likely to print out all 1000+
-pages of the manuals, and even if they do, the resulting page breaks
-depend on what paper and font size they use. This also means that if
-you _are_ going to do this, it should be done with the paper and font
-size that the GNU Press are going to use when they print the manuals.
-I think this is different to what you get if you just use eg 'make
-emacs.pdf' (e.g., enable "smallbook").
-
-** Check the keybindings in the refcards are correct, and add any new ones.
-What paper size are the English versions supposed to be on?
-On Debian testing, the packages texlive-lang-czechslovak and
-texlive-lang-polish will let you generate the cs-* and sk-* pdfs.
-(You may need texlive-lang-cyrillic, texlive-lang-german for others.)
-The Makefile rules did not work for me, I had to use something like:
-csplain -output-format=pdf cs-refcard
-
-** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.
-
-Emacs 22 translators:
-
-LANG Translator Status
-cs Pavel Janík
-de Sven Joachim
-fr Eric Jacoboni
-pl Włodek Bzyl
-pt-br Rodrigo Real
-ru Alex Ott
-sk Miroslav Vaško
-
-** For a major release, add a "New in Emacs XX" section to faq.texi.
-
-** Remove temporary +++/--- lines in NEWS.
-
-** Try to reorder NEWS: most important things first, related items together.
-
-** Consider bumping customize-changed-options-previous-release.
-
-** cusver-check from admin.el can help find new defcustoms missing
-:version tags.
-
-** Add a line to etc/HISTORY for the release version number and date.
-
-* BUGS
-
-** Check for modes which bind M-s that conflicts with a new global binding M-s
-and change key bindings where necessary. The current list of modes:
-
-1. Gnus binds 'M-s' to 'gnus-summary-search-article-forward'.
-
-2. Minibuffer binds 'M-s' to 'next-matching-history-element'
- (not useful any more since C-s can now search in the history).
-
-3. 'center-line' in Text mode was already moved to the text formatting
- keymap as 'M-o M-s' (thus this binding is not necessary any more
- in 'nroff-mode-map' too and can be removed now from the nroff mode
- because it can now use the global key binding 'M-o M-s' 'center-line').
-
-4. PCL-CVS binds 'M-s' to 'cvs-status', and log-edit-mode binds it to
- 'log-edit-comment-search-forward'. Perhaps search commands
- on the global key binding 'M-s' are useless in these modes.
-
-5. Rmail binds '\es' to 'rmail-search'/'rmail-summary-search'.
-
-
-* DOCUMENTATION
-
-** Check the Emacs Tutorial.
-
-The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
-period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
-language. This should be followed by "See end for copying conditions",
-likewise in the respective language.
-
-After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
-names of the people who have checked it.
