<p>This document collects information about successfully releasing LLVM to the
|
|
|
|
|
public. It is the release manager's guide to ensuring that a high quality build
|
|
|
|
|
of LLVM is released. Mostly, its just a bunch of reminders of things to do at
|
|
|
|
|
release time so we don't inadvertently ship something that is utility
|
|
|
|
|
deficient.</p>
