From 8f245b777b21e8c0151f9a254a56a7cb23b66d15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Damien Lespiau Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:24:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] RELEASING: Fix releasing instructions to match the latest release.sh It seems that the tests don't need DRM master anymore? at least make distcheck passes when X is running. release.sh is also invoked with just the path to the libdrm git checkout and we don't want to pass additional arguments that will be treated as additional modules we want to release. Also, make a note that release.sh will run make distcheck for you, so we don't strickly need to run it beforehand.
