+ altos: Clear callsign on initial config load
+
+ Before being written the first time, ao_config will get set to 0xff
+ when the config storage is read. This leaves the tail of the callsign
+ filled with invalid bytes. Zero the whole thing before loading the
+ default callsign to make sure any extra bytes are set correctly.

git tag -a <version>

+ - make sure checked-out tree is "clean" so git won't complain
- use --git-ignore-new so trash in checked-out tree doesn't
- cause the build to fail!
+ git-buildpackage
at this point, we have Debian packages
+ git tag debian/<version>
+
make distclean
./autogen.sh --with-fat-dir=/home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases
this pushes packages for each platform to web site
+ - copy the relevant release notes file from doc/ to
+ /home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>
+
- go edit ~/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases/<rev>.mdwn to include
release date and explicit ref to dir contents so the AltOS page
shows versioned links, commit and push
this pushes fresh documents to the web site
+ sudo debian/rules clean
+ git push
+ git push --tags
+
+ push commits and leave the build tree in an uncluttered state
+
Testing before a release
To verify that a build works, the following need to be checked
