address@hidden Release Process and Checklists
+
+This document describes the process for releasing a new version of the various
+Taler components to the official GNU mirrors.
+
+The following components are published on the GNU mirrors
+
address@hidden
address@hidden taler-exchange (exchange.git)
address@hidden taler-merchant (merchant.git)
address@hidden talerfrontends (merchant-frontends.git)
address@hidden taler-bank (bank.git)
address@hidden taler-wallet-webex (wallet-webex.git)
address@hidden itemize
+
address@hidden Tagging
+
+Tag releases with an @b{annotated} commit, like
+
address@hidden
+git tag -a v0.1.0 -m "Official release v0.1.0"
+git push origin v0.1.0
address@hidden example
+
address@hidden Database for tests
+
+For tests in the exchange and merchant to run, make sure that
+a database @emph{talertest} is accessible by @emph{$USER}.  Otherwise tests
+involving the database logic are skipped.
+
address@hidden Exchange, merchant
+
+Set the version in @code{configure.ac}.  The commit being tagged
+should be the change of the version.
+
+For the exchange test cases to pass, @code{make install} must be run first.
+Without it, test cases will fail because plugins can't be located.
+
+
address@hidden
+./bootstrap
+./configure # add required options for your system
+make dist
+tar -xf taler-$COMPONENT-$VERSION.tar.gz
+cd taler-$COMPONENT-$VERSION
+make install check
address@hidden example
+
+
address@hidden Wallet WebExtension
+
+The version of the wallet is in @emph{manifest.json}.  The @code{version_name} 
should be
+adjusted, and @emph{version} should be increased independently on every upload 
to
+the WebStore.
+
address@hidden
+./configure
+make dist
