     TAG is EMACS_PRETEST_XX_YY_ZZZ for a pretest, EMACS_XX_YY for a

-    Shortly before the release, cut the branch with the following commands:
-
-    cvs rtag EMACS_`NUMBER'_BASE
-    cvs rtag -b EMACS_`NUMBER'_RC -r EMACS_`NUMBER'_BASE
-
-    where `NUMBER' is the major version number of the release.  This
-    makes it easier to see what changes have been applied to the
-    branch with:
-
-    cvs diff -r EMACS_`NUMBER'_BASE -r EMACS_`NUMBER'_RC
-
-    or merge changes back to the trunk with "cvs update -j", if
-    necessary.

-    After doing this, increase the version number on the trunk as per
-    step 4.

-    Also, open a Savannah support request asking for commits to the
-    new branch to be sent to the emacs-diffs mailing list (by default,

+    You can use the gnupload script to upload each FILE, like this:
+     gnupload --to alpha.gnu.org:emacs/pretest FILE (for a pretest)
+     gnupload --to ftp.gnu.org:emacs FILE           (for a release)

      gpg -b FILE
      echo directory: emacs/pretest > FILE.directive      (for a pretest)
