There is one in Gnulib that could serve as a template: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=top/README-release;h=17f026a2c70de984450e2c662535d991e0d0a0b6;hb=HEAD I would recommend not distributing it in the tarball however. Documenting the release process will hopefully help not missing some step. Thanks for the report. -- Mathieu Lirzin GPG: F2A3 8D7E EB2B 6640 5761 070D 0ADE E100 9460 4D37
