You guys may want to look at our release process over at the Subversion project: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html#release-creating We also have it somewhat automated. Including getting the right auto* tools versions. Of particular interest might be our release.py tool: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/dist/release.py For actually rolling that python script ends up driving this shell script that I wrote long before the python script was developed: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/dist/dist.sh All of this is obviously under ASLv2 so feel free to borrow and adapt. :)
