Source Release For hyrax-dependencies

This task is to ensure that the hyrax-dependencies project is up to date and tar balls on www.o.o. are current.

Update ChangeLog, NEW, and release version

Update the ChangeLog file.

Use the script gitlog-to-changelog (which can be found with Google) to update the ChangeLog file by running it using the --since="<date>" option with a date one day later in time than the newest entry in the current ChangeLog.

gitlog-to-changelog --since="1970-01-01" (Specify a date one day later than the one at the top of ChangeLog)

Save the result to a temp file and combine the two files:

cat tmp ChangeLog > ChangeLog.tmp; mv ChangeLog.tmp ChangeLog

If you're making the first ChangeLog entries, then you'll need to create the ChangeLog file first.
Tip: When you're making the commit log entries, use line breaks so ChangeLog will be readable. That is, use lines < 80 characters long.

Update the Version Numbers

If the review of the ChangeLog indicates that there have been changes since the last release, increment the version number in the Makefile.

Make sure any change in version number is also reflected in the NEWS file.

Update the NEWS file

To update the NEWS file, just read over the new ChangeLog entries and summarize.
