Upstream

prepare the environment:
```
  export VERSION=x.y.z
```

update configure.ac and CHANGELOG.md

  perl -pi -E \
     "s{^AC_INIT\(\[backupninja\],\[[0-9.rc]+\],}{AC_INIT([backupninja],[$VERSION],}" \
     configure.ac

  RELEASE_DATE=$(LC_ALL=C date '+%Y-%m-%d'); perl -pi -E \
     "s{^## \[Unreleased\].*}{## [$VERSION] - $RELEASE_DATE}" \
     CHANGELOG.md

commit, tag and create the tarball:

  git commit configure.ac CHANGELOG.md \
      -m "Releasing backupninja $VERSION" && \
  git clean -fdx && \
  git tag -s "backupninja-$VERSION" \
      -m "Releasing backupninja $VERSION" && \
  ./autogen.sh && \
  ./configure && \
  make dist

compare the content of the generated tarball with the content of the previous one

move the tarball outside of the Git working copy and clean up:

  mkdir -p ../tarballs && \
  mv backupninja-$VERSION.tar.gz ../tarballs/ && \
  make distclean && \
  git clean -fdx

Install (extract tarball, .configure && make && sudo make install) and test.

Debian

Prepare a new package:

    git checkout debian && \
    gbp import-orig --upstream-vcs-tag="backupninja-$VERSION" \
        ../tarballs/backupninja-$VERSION.tar.gz && \
    gbp dch --auto && \
    dch -e && \
    export DEBIAN_VERSION=$(dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion) && \
    git commit debian/changelog \
       -m "Releasing backupninja ($DEBIAN_VERSION) to Debian unstable" && \
    gbp buildpackage

Install the .deb and test.

Release

sign the release and push it to Git:

  gpg --armor --detach-sign \
      ../tarballs/backupninja-$VERSION.tar.gz && \
  git checkout debian && \
  gbp buildpackage --git-tag-only --git-sign-tags && \
  git push --follow-tags origin \
      master:master \
      debian:debian \
      pristine-tar:pristine-tar \
      upstream:upstream

upload the upstream tarball and detached signature to the GitLab milestone page with Edit → Attach a file
announce the release on the backupninja mailing-list, pointing to the milestone web page
upload to Debian or ask someone listed in the Uploaders control field to review and upload
