1. Check windows snapshot builder logs (http://snaps.php.net/win32/snapshot-STABLE.log f.e.)
-2. Bump the version numbers in ``main/php_version.h``, ``configure.in`` and possibly ``NEWS``.
-Do not use abbreviations for alpha and beta.

-4. run the "scripts/dev/credits" script in php-src and commit the changes in the
-credits files in ext/standard.
+4. Commit those changes and note the revision id.
-5. tag the repository with the version f.e. "``cvs tag php_4_4_1RC1``"
+5. tag the repository with the version. To do the tag in a fast way do a svn copy on the server using full URLs. You should use the revision id from the above commit to prevent mistakes in case there was a commit in between. f.e. "``svn cp https://svn.php.net/repository/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3@308399 https://svn.php.net/repository/php/php-src/tags/php_5_3_6RC1``"
(of course, you need to change that to the version you're rolling an RC for).
6. Bump up the version numbers in ``main/php_version.h``, ``configure.in``
8. Log in onto the snaps box and go into the correct tree (f.e. the PHP_4_4
branch if you're rolling 4.4.x releases).
-9. You do not have to update the tree, but of course you can with "``cvs up -dP``".
+9. You do not have to update the tree, but of course you can with "``svn up``".
10. run: ``./makedist php 4.4.1RC1``, this will export the tree, create configure
and build two tarballs (one gz and one bz2).
``sudo -u ezmlm ezmlm-sub ~ezmlm/primary-qa-tester/mod moderator-email-address``
-3. Update the MD5 sums in ``web/qa/trunk/include/rc-md5sums.txt`` (no empty lines).
+3. Update the MD5 sums in ``web/qa/trunk/include/rc-md5sums.txt`` (no empty lines, ordered by filename, odler version number first, .bz2 before .gz).
4. Update in ``web/qa/trunk/include/release-qa.php`` constants with the new RC and
commit this.
c. ``$RELEASE_PROCESS`` = array(4 => true, 5 => true)
-1. Update in ``php-bugs/trunk/include/functions.inc`` the ``show_version_option``
-function to include the new RC and commit.
+1. Update in ``php-bugs/trunk/include/php_versions.php`` to include the new RC and commit.
-2. Update ``phpweb/include/version.inc`` (x=major version number)
+2. Update ``php/trunk/include/version.inc`` (x=major version number)
a. ``$PHP_x_RC`` = "5.3.0RC1"
3. Commit those changes:
- a. ``cvs commit include/version.inc include/releases.inc``
+ a. ``svn commit include/version.inc include/releases.inc``
4. For the first RC, write the doc team (phpdoc@lists.php.net) about updating the
INSTALL and win32/install.txt files which are generated from the PHP manual sources.
