wohali opened a new issue #908: Fix release build process tooling
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/908
 
 
   Currently, there are 3 problems with the RC and release build process that I'm aware of:
   
   1. The Makefile functionality to diff a given RC against the last one is broken for RC1 (because there is no RC0 tag).
   1. There is no easy way to bump the version number - you have to manually edit both `Makefile` and `rel/reltool.config`. See: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/907 Sure would be nice to pull this from an env var or tag or something.
   1. There's no equivalent of "make reltarball" that does roughly the same thing as "make rc" when you check out from a release tag (e.g. 2.1.0). This could be collapsed with "make rc" if it was assumed that all RCs have to be built from a proper git tag.
