Create a signed Git tag, like this:
- $ git tag -s u MY-KEY -m "GNU Guile 2.0.X." v2.0.X
+ $ git tag -s -u MY-KEY -m "GNU Guile 2.0.X." v2.0.X
The tag *must* be `v2.0.X'. For the sake of consistency, always use
"GNU Guile 2.0.X." as the tag comment.
Make sure the file was uploaded and is available for download as
expected:
- $ mkdir t && cd t && wget ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-2.0.X.tar.gz
+ $ mkdir t && cd t && \
+ wget ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-2.0.X.tar.gz && \
+ wget ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-2.0.X.tar.xz
$ diff guile-2.0.X.tar.gz ../guile-2.0.X.tar.gz
+ $ diff guile-2.0.X.tar.xz ../guile-2.0.X.tar.xz
You're almost done!
