A list, originally by Brian, of the things to do to make a BB release.

• update NEWS, README (dependencies)
• edit buildbot/init.py, bump version number (also docs/buildbot.texinfo)
• note release in Changelog
• commit
• 'make release' -> dist/buildbot-N.N.N.tar.gz
• examine tarball to make sure everything is in it!
  • python setup.py install --prefix tmpdir; make sure everything is there
• sign tarball: gpg -ba buildbot-N.N.N.tar.gz; also .zip
• make a git tag
• upload to sf.net
• update web page
• send mail to buildbot-devel
• update freshmeat (login, My, Buildbot, add release)
• cheeseshop:
  • count old downloads
  • python ./setup.py register
  • upload new source tarballs to  http://pypi.python.org/
  • (it looks like old tarballs are removed when you upload new ones? along with the download count? maybe not.)
