Use `script' or M-x compile to save the compilation log in
compile-NEW.log and compare it against an old one. The easiest way
to do that is to visit the old log in Emacs, change the version
number of the old Emacs to __, do the same with the new log and do
M-x ediff. Especially check that Info files aren't built.

admin/make-announcement OLD NEW
This creates an announcement for pretests. OLD is the version used
to make deltas with respect to NEW. Anouncements for pretests need
to be crafted by hand. Use an older announcement to start with.
12. For the moment, put the tarballs on a public site and send a GPG
signed email to <maintainers@gnu.org> with the URLs of the tarballs
and their md5sum signatures. As of 2003-10, the GNU maintainers are
working on a better procedure. For reference, here are the previous
instructions, which are no more valid after the break-in of 2003-08:
====
For a pretest, do:
rsync -aP emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta compile-NEW.log \
emacs-NEW.announce alpha.gnu.org:/home/alpha/gnu/emacs/pretest/.
For a release, do:
rsync -aP emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta \
alpha.gnu.org:/home/ftp/gnu/emacs/.
13. Verify that the files are visible at
to make deltas with respect to NEW. Announcements for releases need
to be crafted by hand. Use an older announcement to start with:
look in ssh://fencepost.gnu.org/~pot/emacs-tarballs/.
12. Now you should upload the files to the GNU ftp server. In order to
do that, you must be registered as an Emacs maintainer and have your
GPG key acknowledged by the ftp people. Mail <ftp-upload@gnu.org>
for instructions. Once you are there, for each file FILE to be
released, create a detached GPG binary signature and a clearsigned
directive file like this:
gpg -b FILE
echo directory: emacs/pretest > FILE.directive (for a pretest)
echo directory: emacs > FILE.directive (for a release)
gpg --clearsign FILE.directive
Upload by anonymous ftp to ftp://ftp-upload.gnu.org/incoming/ftp/
the files FILE, FILE.sig, FILE.directive.asc
13. After five minutes, verify that the files are visible at
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/ for a pretest, at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/ for a release.
