+Release checklist overview:
+
+  1) update changlelog
+  2) check all changes into git and push upstream
+  3) properly tag git tree with signature
+  4) check release into fedora cvs
+  5) do build for -devel
+  6) do build for F-7, push to testing, then stable
+  7) do a build for FC-6
+
+
+In the mock git tree, first ensure that you are:
+  --> on the master branch (or correct branch per branching guidelines)
+  --> updated changelog
+  --> fully-up-to-date wrt official tree
+  --> have no local changes that havent been pushed
+  --> test build rpm
+  --> tag build and push tag
+
+  $ git status
+  # On branch master
+  nothing to commit (working directory clean)
+
+  $ git pull
+  Already up-to-date.
+
+  $ git diff origin
+
+  $ make rpm
+    ...

+
+In the fedora CVS tree:
+  --> update CVS to latest
+  --> upload new source tarball
+  --> merge in spec changes
+  --> ensure good changelog
+
+  $ cd fedora/mock
+  $ cvs up
+
+  $ cd devel
+  $ make new-sources FILES=~/git/mock/mock-0.7.5.tar.gz 
+  $ cp ~/git/mock/mock.spec .
+  $ cvs diff mock.spec
+     --> if spec was changed outside of git directly in fedora cvs, fixup and merge changes in, add changes back to git
+     --> if there is no changelog entry, do one now.

+# in Bodhi
+  --> create a proposed update for F7
+  --> push to testing
+  --> wait for email saying it has been two weeks and would be a good time to push to stable. :)
+  --> push to stable
+
+# in fedora CVS tree:
+  --> update F6 (try to ensure that we do F7/devel upgrades first to not break upgrade paths.)
