-Here are most of the steps we (maintainers) follow when making a release.
-
-* start from a clean, up-to-date git directory.
-
-    git checkout master; git pull
-
-* Run ./configure && make maintainer-clean
-
-* Ensure that the desired versions of autoconf, automake, etc.
-  are in your PATH.  See the buildreq list in bootstrap.conf for
-  the complete list.
-
-* Ensure that you're on "master" with no uncommitted diffs.
-  This should produce no output: git checkout master; git diff
-
-* Run bootstrap: ./bootstrap
-
-* Pre-release testing:
-  Ensure that make check syntax-check succeeds.
-
-* Run "make distcheck"
-
-* Manually set the date, version number, and [stable/alpha/beta] on
-  line 3 of NEWS, then do e.g.,:
-
-    v=4.4
-    pkg=$(sed -n 's/^PACKAGE = \(.*\)/\1/p' Makefile)
-    git commit -F <(printf 'version '$v'\n\n* NEWS: Record release date.\n') -a
-    git tag -s -m "$pkg $v" v$v HEAD
-
-* Run the following to create release tarballs.  Your choice selects the
-  corresponding upload-to destination in the emitted gnupload command.
-  The different destinations are specified in cfg.mk.  See the definitions
-  of gnu_ftp_host-{alpha,beta,stable}.
-
-    # "TYPE" must be stable, beta or alpha
-    make TYPE
-
-* Test the tarball.  copy it to a few odd-ball systems and ensure that
-  it builds and passes all tests.
-
-* While that's happening, write the release announcement that you will
-  soon post.  Start with the template, $HOME/announce-idutils-X.Y
-  that was just created by that "make" command.
-
-Once all the builds and tests have passed,
-
-* Run the gnupload command that was suggested by your "make stable" run above.
-
-* Wait a few minutes (maybe up to 30?) and then use the release URLs to
-  download all tarball/signature pairs and use gpg --verify to ensure
-  that they're all valid.
-
-* Push the NEWS-updating changes and the new tag:
-
-    v=$(cat .prev-version)
-    git push origin master tag v$v
-
-* Announce it on Savannah first, so you can include the preferable
-  savannah.org announcement link in the email message.
-
-  From here:
-    https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/idutils/
-  click on the "submit news", then write something like the following:
-  (If there is no such button, then enable "News" for the project via
-   the Main -> "Select Features" menu item, or via this link:
-   https://savannah.gnu.org/project/admin/editgroupfeatures.php?group=idutils)
-
-    Subject: idutils-X.Y released [stable]
-    +verbatim+
-    ...paste the announcement here...
-    -verbatim-
-
-  Then go here to approve it:
-    https://savannah.gnu.org/news/approve.php?group=idutils
-
-* Send the announcement email message.
-
-* After each non-alpha release, update the on-line manual accessible via
-
-    http://www.gnu.org/software/idutils/manual/
-
-  by running this:
-
-    build-aux/gnu-web-doc-update
