* Update <tt>CMakeLists.txt</tt> with the new version number you are just about to tag<br/>{{Input|1=<nowiki>project(kphotoalbum LANGUAGES CXX VERSION 5.8.0)</nowiki>}}


Building a snapshot tar ball is rather straight forward. Install the releaseme building tool and run a command to generate the source package.
* Update <tt>org.kde.kphotoalbum.appdata.xml</tt> with the new version


{{Input|1=<nowiki>git clone git://anongit.kde.org/releaseme
* Update the <tt>ChangeLog</tt> to mark the new release and add the key improvements to the list of changes, if they are not already mentioned in the ChangeLog
cd releaseme</nowiki>}}
To create the source package, run e. g.:
{{Input|1=<nowiki>./tarme.rb --origin trunk --version 5.1 kphotoalbum</nowiki>}}


=== Steps for doing a release ===
* Update <tt>doc/index.docbook</tt> to reflect the new release (if the documentation has been updated)<br/>{{Input|1=<nowiki><releaseinfo>5.8.0</releaseinfo></nowiki>}}


* Update CMakeLists.txt with the new version number you are just about to tag
* Commit the last changes and push them<br/>{{Input|1=<nowiki>git commit -a
git push</nowiki>}}


* Update the ChangeLog to mark the new release and add the key improvements to the list of changes, if they are not already mentioned in the ChangeLog
* Wait for the CI to pass


* Update doc/index.docbook to reflect the new release (if the documentation has been updated)<br />{{Input|1=<nowiki><releaseinfo>4.5</releaseinfo></nowiki>}}
* Tag the new release and push it out<br />{{Input|1=<nowiki>git tag -a -m "kpa 5.8.0 released" v5.8.0
 
* Commit the last changes<br />{{Input|1=<nowiki>git commit -v -a</nowiki>}}
 
* Tag the new release and push it out<br />{{Input|1=<nowiki>git tag -a -m "kpa 5.4 released" v5.4
git push
git push --tags</nowiki>}}
git push --tags</nowiki>}}


* Create a tar ball of the released sources using the instructions on the following section (''kphotoalbum.rb --version 5.4'')
* Create a tar ball of the released sources using releaseme (git clone https://invent.kde.org/sdk/releaseme.git):<br/>{{Input|1=<nowiki>git pull
./tarme.rb --origin trunk --version 5.8.0 kphotoalbum</nowiki>}}


* Upload the created tar ball to the <tt>incoming</tt> directory of upload.kde.org using an FTP client. The current instructions of notifying administrators of the upload are shown when logging in to the FTP server. You create a ticket and provide SHA sums and some other information of the upload.
