This is an explanation of how to make a release for Emms. Emms is currently distributed in three different ways: via the Git repo on Savannah, as a tarball from GNU, and via GNU ELPA. * Increase the version number in emms.el (variable, elpa header), Makefile * Update NEWS * Push version updates to git repo * Tag release in VCS, for example `git tag -a 4.2 -m "4.2"' * Push tag to VCS if needed, for example `git push --tags origin "4.2"' * Run make release * Run make upload * Update copy of emms.info in root directory * Update online manual * Update website * Push to GNU ELPA: push to the Savannah "elpa" branch, and from there "git push elpa elpa:refs/heads/externals/emms" * Send announcement email to gnu-info and to the emms mailing list
