+Generating releases from git a very simple process;
+
+1) Edit the file "Makefile". Changing the "VERSION" line to the new version.
+2) Do a "git commit" just for the version number change.
+3) Then do a "make test-archive".
+That will make a file in the current directory gnu-efi-$VERSION.tar.bz2 ,
+with its top level directory gnu-efi-$VERSION/ and the source tree under that.
+
+Once you've tested that and you're sure it's what you want to release,
+4) Do "make archive", which will tag a release in git and generate a
+final tarball from it.
+
+You then push to the archive, being sure to include the tag:
+5) "git push origin master:master --tags"
+
+And upload the archive wherever it's supposed to go.
