-Releasing software
--------------------
-
-When releasing a new version, the following steps should be taken:
-
-1. Make sure all automated tests pass.
-
-2. Make sure the package metadata in ``setup.py`` is up-to-date. You can
-   verify the information by re-generating the egg info::
-
-    python setup.py egg_info
-
-   and inspecting ``src/pysaml2.egg-info/PKG-INFO``. You should also make sure
-   that the long description renders as valid reStructuredText. You can
-   do this by using the ``rst2html.py`` utility from docutils_::
-
-    python setup.py --long-description | rst2html > test.html
-
-   If this will produce warning or errors, PyPI will be unable to render
-   the long description nicely. It will treat it as plain text instead.
-
-3. Update the version in the VERSION_ file and report the changes in
-   CHANGELOG.md_ and commit the changes.::
-
-    git add CHANGELOG.md
-    git add VERSION
-    git commit -v -s -m "Release version X.Y.Z"
-
-4. Create a release branch_::
-
-    git branch vX.Y.Z
-
-5. Create a release tag_::
-
-    git tag -a -s vX.Y.Z -m "Version X.Y.Z"
-
-6. Push these changes to Github::
-
-    git push --follow-tags origin vX.Y.Z
-    git push --follow-tags origin vX.Y.Z:vX.Y.Z
-
-7. Create a source and wheel distribution and upload it to PyPI::
-
-    # generate a source and wheel distribution at once
-    python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
-
-    # generated files are under dist/
-    ls dist/
-
-    # upload release on test.pypi.org
-    twine upload --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/pysaml2-X.Y.Z*
-
-    # then, upload release on official pypi.org
-    twine upload dist/pysaml2-X.Y.Z*
-
-8. Upload the documentation to PyPI. First you need to generate the html
-   version of the documentation::
-
-    cd docs/
-    make clean
-    make html
-    cd _build/html
-    zip -r pysaml2-docs.zip *
-
-   Submit the generated pysaml2-docs.zip file.
-
-9. Send an email to the pysaml2 list announcing this release
-
-
-**Important:** Once released to PyPI or any other public download location,
-a released egg may *never* be removed, even if it has proven to be a faulty
-release ("brown bag release"). In such a case it should simply be superseded
-immediately by a new, improved release.
