+These are Bdale's notes on how to do a release.
+
+       update the version in configure.ac and commit
+
+       git tag -a <version>
+
+       git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new
+
+               use --git-ignore-new so trash in checked-out tree doesn't
+               cause the build to fail!
+
+               at this point, we have Debian packages
+
+       make distclean
+
+       ./autogen.sh --with-fat-dir=/home/bdale/web/altusmetrum/AltOS/releases
+       make fat
+
+               this pushes packages for each platform to web site
+
+       - 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
+
+       (cd doc ; make publish)
+
+               this pushes fresh documents to the web site
