3*f1de0317SLoGinGenerating releases from git a very simple process;
4*f1de0317SLoGin
5*f1de0317SLoGin1) Edit the file "Makefile".  Changing the "VERSION" line to the new version.
6*f1de0317SLoGin2) Do a "git commit" just for the version number change.
7*f1de0317SLoGin3) Then do a "make test-archive".
8*f1de0317SLoGinThat will make a file in the current directory gnu-efi-$VERSION.tar.bz2 ,
9*f1de0317SLoGinwith its top level directory gnu-efi-$VERSION/ and the source tree under that.
10*f1de0317SLoGin
11*f1de0317SLoGinOnce you've tested that and you're sure it's what you want to release,
12*f1de0317SLoGin4) Do "make archive", which will tag a release in git and generate a
13*f1de0317SLoGinfinal tarball from it.
14*f1de0317SLoGin
15*f1de0317SLoGinYou then push to the archive, being sure to include the tag:
16*f1de0317SLoGin5) "git push origin master:master --tags"
17*f1de0317SLoGin
18*f1de0317SLoGinAnd upload the archive wherever it's supposed to go.
