Making a release

1. Bump the version within the AC_INIT macro call in configure.ac.

2. Update the build system by running: ./autogen.sh.

3. Build the trivial packages:

   This all depends on a gh-pages branch:

    git branch gh-pages origin/gh-pages
   

   First build the distribution:

    ./configure
    make distcheck
   

   On any system you can build the tarball and tag:

    ./maint/release build tarball rcm-*.tar.gz
    ./maint/release build tag rcm-*.tar.gz
   

   You need mdocml to tranform the manpages into HTML:

    ./maint/release build man_html rcm-*.tar.gz
   

   Once built, you can push it live:

    ./maint/release push tarball rcm-*.tar.gz
    ./maint/release push tag rcm-*.tar.gz
    ./maint/release push man_html rcm-*.tar.gz
   

   And once pushed, you should clean up

    ./maint/release clean tarball rcm-*.tar.gz
    ./maint/release clean tag rcm-*.tar.gz
    ./maint/release clean man_html rcm-*.tar.gz
