3Generating releases from git a very simple process;
4
51) Edit the file "Makefile".  Changing the "VERSION" line to the new version.
62) Do a "git commit" just for the version number change.
73) Then do a "make test-archive".
8That will make a file in the current directory gnu-efi-$VERSION.tar.bz2 ,
9with its top level directory gnu-efi-$VERSION/ and the source tree under that.
10
11Once you've tested that and you're sure it's what you want to release,
124) Do "make archive", which will tag a release in git and generate a
13final tarball from it.
14
15You then push to the archive, being sure to include the tag:
165) "git push origin master:master --tags"
17
18And upload the archive wherever it's supposed to go.
