<title>Patch Releases</title>
<para>Patch releases are created when a defect is found in the current
stable release of one of the products and the nature of the problem
warrents releasing a fix before the next minor release. The basic steps in
creating a patch release <replaceable>n</replaceable> are as
follows:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Create
tags/<replaceable>minor-version</replaceable>/Shorewall-common-<replaceable>n</replaceable>
or Shorewall-<replaceable>n</replaceable> depending on which release.
If that product is being changed, the <command>svn cp</command>
command can be used. Otherwise, use <command>svn mkdir</command> and
then <command>svn cp</command> the <filename>changelog.txt</filename>
and <filename>releasenotes.txt</filename> files from the last release
(either the minor release itself or the preceding patch
release.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>For each of the other products, create a
<replaceable>product-n</replaceable> directory (e.g.,
Shorewall-perl-<replaceable>n</replaceable>) using <command>svn
cp</command>. Again the last released version of the minor version of
the product should be the source.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Apply the changes necessary to fix the bug, including updating
the change log and release notes.</para>

<para>Run <command>setversion</command> to set the version of the
updated product(s).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Create
<filename>tags/<replaceable>minor-version</replaceable>/known_problems.txt</filename>

indicate the patch release in which it was corrected.</para>
