-* Notes for preparing a release for rt-liberation
+This is an outline of how to make a release for rt-liberation via GNU
+ELPA.
 
 
-** Version
+* version
 In order for the ELPA system to trigger a release the version number
 in the comment header of rt-liberation.el must be incremented.
 
 
+* NEWS
+Update the NEWS file to tell all of the people the Good News.
+
+
+* push
+Push these updates to the git repo.
+
+
+* tag
+Tag the release with the ELPA version number:
+
+    $ git tag -a 1.31 -m "1.31"
+
+Then push that tag to the VCS:
+ 
+   $ git push --tags origin "1.31"
+
+
+* documentation
+Update the manual, compile it, and update the copy of the info file in
+the root directory so that ELPA can install it.
+
+
 ** Info
 After each manual update the info file needs to be copied into the
 root of the project so that ELPA can pick it up.
