internally testing releases, you can run make_dist with the
--no-tests option.
+ * To create a source release of external libs, do an export from the
+ version control system into a directory called qpdf-external-libs
+ and just make a zip file of the result called
+ qpdf-external-libs-src.zip. See the README.txt file there for
+ information on creating binary external libs releases.
+
+ * To create Windows binary releases, extract the qpdf source
+ distribution in Windows (MSYS + MINGW, MSVC) and run
+ ./make_windows_releases from there. You will have to manually
+ create zip files from the install-mingw and install-msys
+ directories; instructions are echoed by the script.
+
+ * Remember to copy README-what-to-download.txt separately onto the
+ download area and make it the default for Windows platforms.
+
* Remember to update documentation in the "files" subdirectory of the
website on sourceforge.net.
* Create a tag in the version control system.
+ * When releasing on source forge, external-libs distributions go in
+ external-libs/yyyymmdd, and qpdf distributions go in qpdf/vvv
