  git push osstest@xenbits.xen.org:/home/xen/git/qemu-xen.git qemu-xen-$v

* consider bumping sonames of shlibs

* change xen-unstable README (should say "Xen 4.5" in releases and on stable branches, "Xen 4.5-unstable" on unstable)
* change xen-unstable Config.mk (QEMU_UPSTREAM_REVISION, QEMU_TRADITIONAL_REVISION, MINIOS_UPSTREAM_REVISION)
* change xen-unstable xen/Makefile XEN_EXTRAVERSION
# if main version number has changed (eg 4.7 -> 4.8) rerun ./autogen.sh
* rerun ./autogen.sh to update version number in configure
#    - XEN_EXTRAVERSION should be `.0-rc$(XEN_VENDORVERSION)'
#    - debug ?= n on stable branches
#    - Kconfig.debug default n on stable branches
* tag xen-unstable

# In xen.git
  git-fetch origin
  git-checkout staging-$x
  git-pull
  git-show # should show commit updating version to right version
  git-tag -u 'xen tree' -s -m "Xen $r$rc" $t
  git-push origin $t
##  hg tag <tag_name> ; hg sign -k "Xen tree" <tag_name>



HANDLING TAG GENERATED BY RELEASE MANAGER

   fetch the tag into my tree
   make the tarball (RELEASE TARBALL, below)
   test build (see below)
   website (see below)
   merge tag into staging and push to staging
   maybe force push into master
   definitely push tag to xenbits
        git-push origin $t




RELEASE TARBALL

   for 4.5 and later, use tarball target
       git checkout $t
       git clean -xdff
       # export http_proxy=http://localhost:3128/
       ./configure
       make src-tarball-release   # must be used for actual releases
       make src-tarball           # uses git-describe (best for RCs)
        # ^find some way to add git-cache-proxy to this (done in ~iwj/.gitconfig)
       mkdir /volatile/iwj/website-thing/xen.org/oss-xen/release/$v
       mv dist/xen-$v.tar.gz /volatile/iwj/website-thing/xen.org/oss-xen/release/$v/.
