man-pages RELEASE file
Hi Sam,
I just added a file RELEASE, officially documenting how a release is made, in case I disappear at some point, someone can pick it and know what to do.
The most interesting part to you from that file, is that it also covers the case of someone wanting to package a random commit. It's as trivial as running 'make dist', but it's better if it's documented. ;)
Cheers,
Alex

Fantastic, thanks for thinking of (an unthinkable/the) future!
I'll try find an excuse to try the instructions for real, too.
Best,

Just take into account that the RELEASE file doesn't match exactly how 6.00 and 6.01 have been done, but rather how I'd do 6.02 after learning from these. When you try the instructions, give preference to what you read in the RELEASE document if it differs from what I've done in the past.
If you find any issues following it, please report them! :-)

Alex
