httpuv v1.6.11 release checklist

[jcheng5]

• If not a new package, make sure any warnings/errors in CRAN check results page are fixed
• Build and check on Centos 7
• Build and check with debug builds of R (RDcsan, RDsan)
• Create RC branch rc-v1.6.11
• Change the DESCRIPTION and NEWS on this branch to change the version number to the desired version for CRAN
• Perform Shiny final test pass on rc-v1.6.11
• Clean your package directory to remove any extraneous files, including ones that are git-ignored. (Warning, this will delete any unsaved buffers in RStudio! Also, be sure to close RStudio before taking this step!) git clean -xdi .
• Build your package. I (jcheng) personally do it from the Mac command line like this:
  PATH=$PATH:/Applications/RStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/pandoc R CMD build [pkgdir]
• Do a sanity check by installing/testing the built package.
• Perform revdep check using https://github.com/r-lib/revdepcheck, if this is not the initial CRAN release.
• Run R CMD check --as-cran pkg_version.tar.gz both locally and on win-builder. You can also use https://r-hub.github.io/rhub/.
• Review CRAN Policies document
• Submit to CRAN via their online form.
• When accepted, tag the RC branch with a v1.6.11 tag (or whatever version you finally ended up getting accepted), and push the tag to origin.
• Merge RC into master.
• On master, change the package version to 1.6.11.9000.

For future releases, this checklist should also have an item for making a GitHub release for the tag.
