To do a release:
- Update NEWS, configure.ac, and fetchmail.man, with release number & date.
- Run "perl dist-tools/makerelease.pl" - this entails "make distcheck".
- Commit all files to the VCS (Git).
- Tag the new release with a signed tag.
- cd to ~/public_html/fetchmail and edit index.html for the new tarballs
and NEWS files and last update.
- These would be done automatically by makerelease.pl:
- Upload sig and tarball to ~/public_html/fetchmail/
- Upload sig and tarball to sourceforge, per
<https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Release%20Files%20for%20Download/#rsync>
- Update the fetchmail website for version, link to release nodes
(update release_id) and last update, commit, and upload.
