Hi, I''ve added a brain dump of the things I do when I release rails. You can find it here: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/RELEASING_RAILS.rdoc Please feel free to update it with formatting, better spelling, clarity, etc. There is no tl;dr because you should read the whole thing. Once we all get used to releasing, we should probably put together a checklist of some sort. This document is targeted towards people who have never released rails (or need a refresher course). I''ve left a few FIXME''s in the document of things I can''t remember right now and places where we should improve. -- Aaron Patterson http://tenderlovemaking.com/
