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