      2  1.1  mrg 
      3  1.1  mrg 1) Ensure that there are no uncommitted changes or unpushed commits,
      4  1.1  mrg    and that you are up to date with the latest commits in the central
      5  1.1  mrg    repository. Here are a couple of useful commands:
      6  1.1  mrg 
      7  1.1  mrg 	git diff			(no output)
      8  1.1  mrg 	
      9  1.1  mrg 	git status			(should report "nothing to commit")
     10  1.1  mrg 
     11  1.1  mrg 	git log master...origin		(no output; note: *3* dots)
     12  1.1  mrg 
     13  1.1  mrg 2) Increment the version in meson.build.
     14  1.1  mrg 
     15  1.1  mrg 3) Make sure that new version works, including
     16  1.1  mrg 
     17  1.1  mrg 	- meson test passes
     18  1.1  mrg 
     19  1.1  mrg 	- the X server still works with the new pixman version
     20  1.1  mrg 	  installed
     21  1.1  mrg 
     22  1.1  mrg 	- the cairo test suite hasn't gained any new failures compared
     23  1.1  mrg 	  to last pixman version.
     24  1.1  mrg

     28  1.1  mrg

     30  1.1  mrg 
     31  1.1  mrg    If your freedesktop user name is different from your local one,
     32  1.1  mrg    then also set the variable USER to your freedesktop user name.
