-@subheading Policy notes
+Really tentative instructions, almost certainly can be done
+better.
-@itemize
+@enumerate
@item
-Build with GUB, and check the regtests.
+change the VERSION back to release you want. push change.
+(hopefully you'll have forgotten to update it when you made your
+last release)
@item
-Upload the tarballs and sh scripts.
+make sure that there aren't any lilypond files floating around in
+target/ (like usr/bin/lilypond).
@item
-(if major)
-Branch MASTER to stable/2.x.
+build the specific package(s) you want, i.e.
+
+@example
+bin/gub mingw::lilypond-installer
+make LILYPOND_BRANCH=stable/2.12 -f lilypond.make doc
+bin/gub --platform=darwin-x86 'git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond-doc.git?branch=stable/2.12'
+@end example
+
+or
+
+build everything with the normal "make lilypond", then (maybe)
+manually delete stuff you don't want to upload.
@item
-Make announcement.
+manually upload them. good luck figuring out the rsync
+command(s). Hints are in test-lily/
+
+or
+
+run the normal lilypond-upload command, and (maybe) manually
+delete stuff you didn't want to upload from the server.
