# Building a Release

When the project is ready for a new release, follow these steps to build a new release tar.gz file and sign a new release tag in git. This requires that you have a zanata account, and have permission to push the new .pot file to the branch you are building. See the translations.txt file for more details.

- `git clean -d -x -f`
- `./autogen.sh && ./configure`
- `make bumpver`
- `VERSION=$(grep ^AC_INIT configure.ac | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '[],')`
- `git commit -am "New version - $VERSION"`
- `make release`

Check that the commit looks correct and push the new release with:

- `git push && git push --tags`

The anaconda-$VERSION.tar.gz file and anaconda.spec can now be used to by fedpkg to create a new anaconda rpm.
